  1. I have a few parts left over from my buggy that I would like to give away to a good home. Hopefully someone can use them. 1 brand new CV 1 brand new boot 1 set of brand new axles (I think they 19") 1 used/spare axle with cvs. I kept it in the trailer in case of breakdowns. If anyone wouldl ike to have any of this stuff please call 702 622 5701 Brian located in Henderson
  2. I told my my wife and kids last night about your son and we had your family in our thoughts the rest of the night. As soon as I read this I called my wife and told her your good news. She cried right away. We have a big soft spot in our hearts for all children (six of our own). I hope everything turns out great and a speedy recovery. BHuff
  3. OOPs I am in Henderson NV, But I go to California (Tulare) about every other month for Family stuff. Plus there is a truck in San Diego I have been looking to buy so I can meet up if needed 702-622-5701
  4. This quad has been sitting about 4 years and doesn't get ridden. I cleaned out the carb and put a battery in it and it started right up. The carb will need to be cleaned again probably since it isn't running perfect. It has plenty of power just doesn't idle right. I also have an extra set of plastics(white) and another seat. NO TRADES $1300 622-5701 Sorry, but I can't seem to figure out how to attach pictures

    Sand Show

    going down Thursday night for a fishing trip on Friday then the show on Saturday
  7. We went out Saturday night about 8pm, slept under the stars on the flatbed trailer and rode Sunday morning til about 11am then packe dup and came home. There was two other camps there and a few daytrippers shoed up on Sunday morning. The sand was really smooth abviousley and really steep dropoffs not to mention alot of witches eyes. But a good time none the less. We will probably make our next trip the week before Halloween since I don't like to be out there on the big weekends.
  8. if the door was locked then you would be out your stuff and a broken window. Our truck was stolen in November and recovered in December. Of course recovered without our dumont pass, so I feel your pain and had to buy another one. Sux but I am not taking the next few months off from Dumont.
  9. When it broke I was thinking the same thing......there isn't anybody out here. And holy cow that would have been a really long walk back to camp hahaha. Time to upgrade to 930cv and shafts tho
  10. I was at Dumont yesterday and we broke down about 1:30 pm in a bowl with our 4 seater buggy (broken axle) and I was able to flag down a couple of 2 seater buggy's and hitched a ride back but that meant leaving 3 of my kids (15, 12,10) sitting in the buggy till I made it back which really sucked. So we went back to camp and grabbed the 2 straps we had, a truck (lifted dodge diesel on 37s) and a couple quads just for easy access in and out of the dunes just in case. When we got back to the kids a couple of buggys were sitting there with the kids and offered to help if they could. We came up with the plan to get the truck as close as we could which was way up the side of the dune, and run straps to the buggy but we didnt have near enough strap, so they jammed back to their camp and came back with plenty of strap. Once everything was pointing downhill we were able to get out easily. So that is the story..... but the reason for the thread is because in all the hustle and hurry I don't feel I gave enough thanks to the guys that helped. Hopefully all 4 of the buggies that helped yesterday are on here and will be able to know we REALLY appreciated the help. The first 2 buggies we flagged down for the ride back to camp, 1 red and 1 blue but both looked like motorcyle powered cars. Thanks for the ride. The second 2 buggies that stuck around with the kids and went to get straps. Thank you guys, it would have been alot worse if we didnt have those straps. Dumont folks are always awesome people. We always stop and check on people also so It sucks we were the ones in need this time but thankfully we had some good people out there willing to lend a hand. We live in Henderson and I know the second two guys were from the Vegas area but didnt ask the first two( and I can't believe I didnt get anybodys name) but If you guys need anything or even just a case of beer I would like to return the favor. I will post pictures when the wife e-mails them to me. Brian Huff
  11. I will not be out for Halloween. We usually only go on slow weekends. I have to many kids to keep an eye on for the busy weekends and we typically don't have a very big camp. Our next trip will be the weekend after Thanksgiving probably. I was going to take it down to Nevada Offroad Buggy to have them take a look unless someone has a better idea.
  12. I had a couple extra cv that came with the buggy when I bought it so I don't know what they are. How do you tell the difference? I replced the shafts with sway-away shafts but have not bought a cv yet. I would much rather upgrade than have to reduce travel. the buggy runs and dunes great just havent had much luck with the cv's. I dont have my foot in the gas when landing from a jump but I do have my foot in the gas going over whoops(like everybody else I assume)
  13. I have been having a problem with breaking CV joints on my buggy and would like to see if you guys have any advice to offer. I have attached a picture of my buggy and it has an 091 trans with a 4.3l chevy v6. It does not have a ton of power so I think this is happening because I don't have limiting straps. The three times I have broke a CV were: twice going up comp blasting through the whoops and then pop and once trying to do a wheelie off of a small hill. Is there an angle at full droop that I should be aware of? Or do I just need to upgrade my shafts and joints? Thank for any advice
  14. How does trick or treating work for the kids on Halloween? Before or after dark???? This will be our first Halloween trip
  15. If we had to start getting inspections on sandrails,quads, etc that would open another can of worms. This is an offroad recreation for most of us and I do agree that safety is a very big concern, however if we left it up to an organization to determine what is safe or isn't then most people would not pass. I feel that it is the owners responsibility to make sure whatever they have is safe and in good working order, I also believe that alot of people would not recognize if they bought a new toy wouldn't know if it was safe. Last year I was at a practice track on my quad and there was a business there offering to do a suspension and safety check for free(obviously trying to drum up business). I think that is a great idea. I think people would respond that pretty well. I also think alot of people will not take well to being told something could be better on their favorite toy. So if anyone would like to put together some type of free safety check and needs volunteers I am in. I would help out for anything along theses lines. The other concerns that have been brought(camp racers etc), I have followed people and talked to them and it has went good a few times and not so good other times, but that is how I will continue to deal with it.
