This year's SSSS was huge. The last time we went was probably 9 years ago when the economy was talking. I wondered at the time if there would be much more of this show, but holy crap. It's bigger than ever before. It was mostly sxs stuff which was expected, but I didn't care. Just being at the show, kicking off dune season and seeing a bunch of friends was a great time. I picked up an electric power steering kit for the buggy, a new LED whip, recovery strap, riding pants for Anna, and a bunch of other swag. Here are a few pics for those that missed the show. @EY3BA11 and me pretending to be RV salesmen. "Just let us know if you have any questions"🤣 I ran into Endurocross, Cody Webb that day too.

Rolling out tonight! See you guys there.

We have a winner. 👍

I would not count on it. I have only seen one or two rental companies in the 20 years I have been going, but vendor row is pretty slim these days and there are no rentals available out there lately. You would have to rent something before you leave town to bring out.

Ugh that sucks! Sorry to hear. Post some pics so we have a better idea what to keep an eye out for.

Just a heads up! Anyone going this year? https://www.sandsportssupershow.com/show-times-and-tickets I would like to go to catch Endurocross as well. Might have to put it on the calendar. https://www.showclix.com/event/sandsport-supershow-endurocross

Apparently the print shop had to reprint them so there is a slight delay this year. They won't be ready until the 3rd week in September. If anything changes, I'll be sure to pass along the information.

They are usually printed in early September. As soon as they are available, I'll have the info posted up on the site.

Cool no problem. Just let us know if you have any more questions. Enjoy your trip whenever you get back out there!

Thanks, Phil. I'll remove Doghouse from the list on our passes page.

Welcome to DDR. Will this photo do?

I know alot of us do summer mods, sell and buy new toys, and even switch up our entire setup. So what's everyone plan for next season? Post up what's new to you. No new toys for us. We'll still be rocking the same truck, trailer, and buggy. I know for us, especially since we've built our Sprinter van, I learned a lot in the meantime about batteries and charging systems. I plan on adding some solar and a couple more batteries to the toyhauler. No more dead batteries after a long night of running the heater! A little Honda generator is probably at the top of our list too. Been meaning to buy one for years. The ole 05 Dmax is almost a classic at this point. but it still pulls hard and drives like a new truck. The only thing it needs is maybe some new shocks and it's good to go. As for the buggy, I say it every season, but I'm adding power steering this year damn it. I really want to get this done this fall. I'd also like to get the suspension recharged and dialed in some more. If anyone has a tuning guy please send me their info. But other than that, I just want to get back out there and do the same thing I have been doing for years- chillen with friends and shredding some smooth sand. It's been a long, nasty summer so far and I can't wait for some cool weather.

Alright time to vote.

I miss that. I only got rid of my Raptor a few years ago because it was getting old and had a million hours on it. Would love to get a new one, but I have too much crap already.

I've been observing the dunes the last few seasons and it seems ATVs are almost obsolete out there. It seems everyone has sold off their YFZs, Raptors, and Banshees for side x sides or buggies. There's nothing wrong with that, but I wonder if anyone rides anymore? Dirtbikes seem to be much more popular than ever before but side x sides are pretty much the most common machine at Dumont now. Just curious what everyone's thoughts are. Thanksgiving 2013 looked a bit different than now. Thanksgiving 2017

That's because we already had a winner and the poll closed. The August DPOM is now open for submission though.

oh! Shows you how much I know about those rigs. haha Nice. I've heard nothing but good about the Can Ams. Everyone loves them.

Those are bitchen, Terry. Might have to hit you up for one even though I don't even own a Funco. I just like em! haha
