Where are those little dunes located? I wanna go check them out sometime.

Check out the web site www.godunes.com and find the link to Johnson Valley, has pics, gps points etc.

Wasnt sold so I am guessing just dropped off.. I think they live in the area between me and craig.. So they cant be far.

Capt

That's what I thought from the start. The day Pete posted it stolen and the area I used 2 different satellite services to look around. How did you actually discover it, just driving along and saw it or somebody call you or ? Just curious and I understand if you don't want it public but would the insurance compensation actually replace your LT car & trailer or they have some kind of depreciation schedule blah blah? I think my enclosed is only covered for liability while towing and your predicament probably have a lot of DDR folks thinking.

Signed, and these pics are from Johnson Valley. The last pic is for the Sierra Club. It's called Hercules finger

It is good to get in the habit to follow the torque spec of the size,type of bolt you are tightening, If you just grab a wrench andgive it all you got you could be over torqueing the bolt and causing it to pre-maturely fail!!!

can you blam us ???? :clown:

TrickyLS-2racer, you drive the 17 Pro Lite and your dad is Jerry? I'll have to check the archives and see if I have any good pics of you and pops.

I say we get justice ourselves!!!! Anyway, sorry about your car, but I hear that the insurance company took care of you, so that's good at least. When's the new car arriving?????

Sooo.......did Craig ask you if we could use what's left of your old car to pimp out our new generator??? LMAO!! The blue flames and the fin would look bad a$$!! YEAHYAAAAA!!!! Just kiddin

Hmmm, good idea but .... need a confirmed address still ..

same problem i was having and I cant read my writing lol /

i will have to look at it a bit closer

Capt

I checked for Fluorescence, Fluorescent, Florescence, Florescent, and only found Florence

2324 Florescent (SP) ave NE side of town

Thanks Man I appreciate it

Capt

Didn't find a 2324 Flourescent but found a 2324 Florence, that sound right?

oops, 2324 Florence is close to McCarran airport, not NE side...

For an unusual situation and a workaround for a less than optimal design, if you have a bolt or nut that just will not stay tight and you've tried big flat washers already you can use a sleeve/ spacer and a longer bolt, it's just a short metal tubular spacer you slide over the bolt before you put it on. The theory is the bolt won't stay tight due to lateral shear or oscillating movement that works the bolt loose and eventually wallows out the hole it goes through or the theads if the mating part is threaded and the farther the bolt head or nut is from the part the less movement there is. Not a common problem for 2nd gen production run but for protos or one offs that you want to salvage it works.

North east side of town... I have the address and havnt had time to look it up.. it was loaded with a bunch of stolen computers and motorcycle parts.. everything was on another stolen trailer

Capt

So what's the address? Send a PM if you want.

Great post, Great point.

I check over my car between trips pretty through.

Not always jacking it up though.

Last time I did that, I found some heims that I decided needed to be replaced as well.

I also check things as we're out in the sand as well.

Shaking the car and looking for slop is a great way to quickly see if something is loose.

I often look over other peeps cars for loose stuff,

Hopin' they don't get offended if I mention there is something that needs attention.

I greatly appreciate it when peeps point things out to me.

I think the most popular thing I see on LT cars is the jam nuts on front Heims are loose.

Also, accelerator pumps stuck-in from sand on carbureted VW cars.

The list goes on.......Keep a close eye on your toys peeps.

R-

I often look over friends red Honda powered cars that do insane wheelies and look for cracked frames

Take a sharpie, touchup paint or nail polish and put a small mark on the nut or bolt and the frame or part on critical components so you can do a quick "pre-flight" anytime, and you'll catch the problem more often and before it gets loose enough to wobble and compromise the parts. That's the only way we could keep the suspension bolts tight on the all red car in the "pic of the month car", he's a jumping addict.

^^I'd have to agree. Have had same style of problem on 3 different bikes, stator, stator and yep you guessed it stator...Good luck.

might have moisture in the stator area and when it warms up it's like steam and your source coil gets a moisture ground. I have put source, light and charging coils in the oven a little above 200*F to dry them and then coat with clear epoxy, not the fast dry- too brittle and cracks. I've made Hi output and rewound probably 50 stock lighting coils for LTs and Banshees and the epoxy makes them waterproof. Find the specs on your electrical and check the resistance/oms for a short, the insulation coating can wear off from vibration, add some moisture and heat and the cold good coil can get weak. Good luck sparky

who the hell would steal a car and to cut it up?

Wow, they actually CUT it up? Probably were going to use or sell the main stuff and wanted to get rid of the parts that could be recognized. Insured or not they still deserve a beating.

Observations:

9. Lou IS trying to kill himself

OK ... what did Lou do this time? Did Randog have anything to do with it?

Todays word is AXIOM = suggesting that BORROWING can BALANCE the budget. Layman dictionary = robbing Peter to pay Paul, remember that 1? California started the sales tax at 3% to better schools then shifted the burden over to property tax, "temp" raised it .5% to repair flood damaged roads in N Cal, "temp" raised another .5% years later for big fires in S Cal, etc etc, and we're still paying the temp taxes. There's sq ft school fees, billions in bonds, lotto, no pencils, paper etc provided now and the politicians have the revenue hungry nerve to suggest we need to "fully fund education". According to the news if California doesn't solve the budget crisis before tax time refunds will be "deferred" and not to expect interest to be paid, that's a bunch of BULL KRUNKY! Question ... is 1 persons rant anothers senility?

i thought drag boat racing was crazy but that is FKING crazy.But really awesome I`m sure the views are great and i imagine its really peaceful hearing the wind rushing by at 100 MPH

getting some mileage out of this one, click it

effen dingle poked pinholes in his trojans

hey wait...i used one of them too OHHHH :poop:

back to topic from the side topic

i have had t he costco brand 6 volt batts for about 3 years now. they work great. i would recommend the switchover if you can do it. the 6 volts i have fit in the battery boxes that came on my trailer too

good luck

Ditto Richard Cheese, my 1st set of 4 Costco 6v lasted 8 years and were still good but replaced them and added 4 more. Every time you let voltage get below 12.25 (no load) you shorten their lifespan. Stick a cheap digital voltmeter somewhere easy to see. This is where I had mine till I did the solar setup.

How bout some info on that water heater, it might be 1 of those with that overheat safety link in the wires that you can see when you open the access door. If so you can take it off and bypass it to test, my brothers WW has had that happen twice now. The 2nd item to check is the thermocouple, sits in the pilot flame. If it has an electronic ignition / circuit board it can be a head scratcher. Ck for a fuse on the circuit board and try disconnecting and reconnect the elect connections. If the elect ignition works you should hear a clicking as it arcs. good luck.

Part of a vid i found in my camera of mark that my mom took.

:2gunsfiring: i mention ddr in it to

WOW, whoever took that pic of Mark must have been standing next to me when I took this sequence :angry2: :angry2:

:angry2: :angry2: made me look

Probably not the last either

Bet the fastest one here from logon to this page might be

:clown: :2gunsfiring:

The stoppie

The save

The slide out

Sorry, couldn't resist.......

Oh yeah, I took these pics at Dumont

That is a scary story. Did you happen to check out the video after I updated the link?

I think they were pretty safe in this incident during the recovery and the tow to camp. A safety guide is a fantastic idea also .

Just saw the video, that rail probably has a 1/4" or so floor and the strap stayed off the sand, as long as you know where the kill switch is and can reach it. The rail retrieval fatal I saw,the bowl was steep on both sides and the tow rope cut into the top of the sand and compressed the front of the rail, which was a VW with a beam front so it's low to start with. I saw a fatal at comp one night probably 25 years ago, a guys buggy engine quit toward the top on the left side, he got out and muscled the front around and jumped in coasting slow and when he got close to the bottom he turned it at an angle a little and must have hit the brake but for some reason it started to tip slow motion to the right and it keeped going till it dumped the guy out the top and rolled over on top of him and poof, he was gone. A seat belt would have saved him.

I think it's highly unlikely the theives have DDR stickers. :laughing:

As for other forums, I have hit just about all the Dumont ones plus Glamis as well. I might hit up the ASA site, duneguide, and a few others as well.

I meant the victims vehicles or their friends having DDR stickers and the thieves seeing those go to DDR to just out of curiosity, or even Google rail stuff to check prices of stuff and hit DDR.
