Arrived around 8 ish on fri night... ended up having to park on the comp side of the last finger (dont like that area much). As I made the turn around the finger my work truck with my enclosed trailer decided to dig in.... so stuck. With in a few minutes a friend came by and pulled me out. Parked the 5er in the camp spot, turned on the genny and light would not stay on with my 12 volt system just 110.... so generator ran from fri night till sunday afternoon when we left.. I either have a bad battery of maybe the converter is bad... not sure.... water pump lights and heater would kick on and off even with the generator running. went to pull the car around camp to pull in my enclosed trailer and popped a power steering line... easy fix.. Ran out to comp hill and ran the hill a few times.... man it is running great... Sat around the camp fire till late and off to bed.. Sat we went to eat at Al's... and OMG the honestly do have the best food... Drove back to camp and took the scenic route. on a little hill and did a small jump and knock knock ... lost a retainer clip on the cv... so I thought. Pulled it apart .. clips still intact....Hmmm... looked at my ages and a 1" piece of cage was gone .. .well lol better than being stuck in the dunes.. Pulled it apart and re assembled.. 1hr max, so it wasnt that bad and I was clean :angry2:
Drove all over on sat.. ran the hill some more and all I have to say is that CBM build a great motor....
Real dusty sat afternoon but the weather was great also.... warm but very nice..
Went to comp hill after the kids had there candy and ran the hill some more.. picked up my friend and after the 3rd pass we tried for 1 more... there was some nice rollers at the top of comp and hit the last one doing about 80 mph (what a blast it was) and Lost power to the wheels... thought maybe some linkage fell of or something.. but was still able to shift into other gears but no worky worky....
Coasted down the hill and went as far as I could coast without running those crazy ppl over... another blown cv lol this time I lost the whole cage and all my Balls lol..
limped back to camp and stuck with the rzr.. Incredible weekend for sure..
I will add more tomorrow..
also as I was coming out of the entrance to comp... headed to camp (on my quad) some kid decided it was very important to cut across and not look or slow down... I caught his rear tire with my front tire and I bent both tie rods on my raptor.. kid was ok and I am fine .. thanks for asking :porn:
I had so much fun this weekend that when the car broke I wasnt even upset... just great time with my family (lovely wife and kids) Mom (1st time out) , bro inlaw and sis... friend James and Kelly and Chris and Rachael..
cant wait till next time
