Hello everyone, I havent been to the dunes in years. Do I need a whip with lights to drive to comp hill at night in a truck? Thanks in advance and happy duning.

 

Nope, we have literally grabbed an ATV whip/flag off a Quad, zip tied it to the rear bed post (Whatever the hole is named) and were good to go.

Drive slow and careful, nothing worse then breaking down your tow rig that gets you back home.

LOL..

One of the better videos I have seen in a long time...

Excellent visual Pete.

Correct, the only laws for kids to ride quads are ability to reach and operate all controls and be directly supervised by an adult (Kid or Adult must have taken the AT Safety course).

As long as the kid can reach the foot pegs and hand controls with ease...no issues. The ATV Safety Cert, they don't check for often unless they see your kid zipping round and no parent in sight, that's when they will roll up and start giving tickets. Watching your kid ride around camp from inside the trailer or motorhome doesn't count...LOL

Voted.

The bench may be legal, but only two passengers in the back would be legal because that is the manufacturer's design. 

Correct, you can take out the two individual seats and place a bench......but having a third person in the middle where the mfg did not have a seat before...against law on 2014 or newer models.

If it is a model 2013 or Older....you are ok.

Anything 2014 and Newer...you will get a ticket.

That is a VERY nicely modified Funco Teryx, I can understand the desire to get more out of it....

..however, you would be ahead of the game to sell it now and buy a newer machine with a turbo.

Any SXS that is 2013 or older can keep its modified seating, etc.

Any SXS that is 2014 or Newer...can't have seats where there wasn't a seat before.

Enjoy your Rhino, I use my converted 4 seater at Dumont and have no issues, its legal.

Maybe . . .

We want to change it up a little this season, my boys want to try MX Bikes, we'll see. I do have some kids quads to sell and upgrade to next size up.

My kids love their Quads, that is the market for Quads....Young (or Younger then us) People.

Of course the new higher $$$ for anything "Performance" based are just crazy!

Working OT this weekend but just got back last night from my first ever trip up to Pismo Beach. Had heard horror stories and b*tches, moans, and complaints about the place and just kinda needed to see for myself. Granted it's not Dumont, and Dumont is not Glamis, Glamis is not Little Sahara Utah, and Little Sahara Utah is not Saint Anthony's Idaho.... But, it is sand and it was a six hour drive so I made the best of it. It is what you make it! Matter of fact I may go back someday. Something about highs in the low to mid 60's has an appeal when it is in the 110's where you live.

$5 for a day trip, $10 per day if you're overnighting.

Anyway, I hope everyone is having a safe and relaxing summer, and I hope to see you out at D when the cooler temps roll around.

Oceano Dunes is GREAT Midweek. Weekends are like ay other Dune spot on a major holiday weekend.

Go Mid-week and enjoy that SoCAL Beach dune riding....who cares if its small.

Nice wheeling pics! Just got back from Pismo as well, however had to leave the sand toys at home as it was our 27th anniversary 

We just did our first No-Toy trip to Pismo, stayed in North Beach Campground and had a blast....was weird at first seeing peeps with toys coming and going. My youngest son hard the hardest time getting over it, He said it was like standing outside the gates of Disneyland without a ticket...LOL....reminded me of being at a strip club actually LOL

We recently went out and did some back packing in the Sierra's this is Little Lakes Valley about 20 miles north of Bishop. It was really nice to get out and recharge the batteries 

 

Some day I'll get a motorhome and explore that part of this state...looks so tranquil and serene...

Nice YAM.

quick release fire extinguisher from Assault Industries so you can help your buddies with their RZRs.

That was funny LOL

That YAM came out really nice, congrats.

Always been a fan of the HCR kits.

Great pics and stories, thanks for sharing.

This one was a lot of work.. Annual trip to Little Dunes. Finally made the hike to the top of the highest mountain above the little dunes. 

Awesome picture. My group is the second camp (Half circle) on the right hand side...

We had a GREAT time.

Friday to Monday....well that's the plan as of now... LOL

Bummer, hope the jackazz who complained enjoys going and getting their pass in person from now on...."Convenience" charges are just that....for ease of use. 

Pretty dam good video. Captures the fun spirit you find at Dumont.

Cool vids, truck does well in the sand....very nice.

Maybe they were friends with the people that staked and taped off the 2nd finger dune, all the way to the top. I stopped and asked the guy while he was taping it off if he could move it down a bit, it's going to cause an accident and potentially another little kid to get ran over. He told me, "you have all those other f*ucking dunes to ride." Really wasn't the point but ok..

Also another issue that will never get resolved.

 

I think a parade down vender row is a cool idea! 

That guy sounded like a real classy dude....NOT.

Thanks for at least asking politely and trying, too many folks don't say anything at all.

Great report, looks like a very good kick off weekend in the D.

Just did mine..
