  1. Been using mine for a few seasons now. Used veggie oil or used oil mixed with gas and you're good to go. Diesel works just as well.

    Diesel will burn longer than straight gas but won't get as hot.

    They are awesome on a cold night, no one has to fight the smoke alley blowing from a fire. Sure they don't replace a campfire but they are great for hanging out and socializing.

    The air pollution thing came about because of what was being burned in them, it was like a tar oil substance. So if you picture 1000 smudge pots bellowing this black cloud over the crops every winter.

    But one or two in a camp being used as a heater shouldn't be a problem.

    I've been approached by rangers in Calico, they stopped and we talked about them...the rangers in the campground use them to stay warm.

    Smudge on!

  2. Paddles like everyone says, I would also get front sand tires.

    Drop one tooth size on the front sprocket.

    The HRC kit for the 05 will add some good power and also comes a new exhaust end cap, I had

    mine done at a shop because it involves putting a new cam in. Something I didn't want to mess with.

  3. "Ya can't reason with drunks or dog owners" I was told by a LEO once.

    That's so true.

    We camped with one group at Buttercup, and one of the rigs had 3 dogs running loose around the campsite.

    One of their dogs poop'd like a horse as it walked. It poop'd all day and nite long all over the campsite, along with the other two dogs.

    They pooped in front of everyones RV, all around the group campfire, all around everyones camp chairs, pee'd on the tires of everyones quads and buggies and RV's, everywhere. And they had that thick brown custard like infection pee that stunk even in the cold of the desert. Stuck to everything like pancake syrup with bloody scabs floating in it.

    Everyones kids stepping in the poop and tracking it in, riding their quads over poop,, can't sit next to the campfire because it's covered in poop. Everyone was walking around like the camp had landmines.

    The Dog owner or his family made no effort to stop it or clean it up.

    They also had another dog attacking others dogs who were tied up and kept under control and cleaned up after.

    Everyone just put up with it so's to not create any friction on their holiday at the dunes. Or they were his dog owning friends and would defend him no matter what, too drunk to realize they've been slimed by his dogs too.

    Finally on the last day (5 days later), the dogs owner walked around with a shovel waving it around so everyone could see., not to really clean up the poop, by to make it look like he was.

    Like an anorexic chick walks around the party with a heaping plate of food, but never takes a bite.

    We got some e mails asking why we don't camp with that group anymore, and we just say we prefer to camp alone. Why create a feud? Ya can't reason with dog owners.

    We have no enemies at the dunes (or river), and we simply move to keep it that way.

    I watch neighbors that live blocks from me walk their dog down our street, They never clean it up.

    We askd one lady about it and she returned with her husband to show us she had muscle back home.

    At the river, rarely someone will clean up after their dog either.

    So bad are the dog owners at the Colorado river campsites, the awesome Fox's Pierpoint campground (owned by Off road racing champ Spencer Lowe) banned dogs altogether.

    There was dog crap around the nice grassy eating area at his restaurant, on the pathway to the dock, all over the beach and campsites,, so that was it, no more dogs.

    Do you clean up after your pet?

    Not just make it look like you do, but get right out and clean right up after them?

    At buttercup, I would have picked up their dogs crap and piled it in front of their rig. If they still didn't get the hint I would have had to say something.

    Create any friction? But it was ok for them to create an uncomfortable camping location and siutation.

    I would rather have the friction.

    I would have responded to the email in CAPS saying it's because of those frickin dogs that so and so has.

    We have two dogs and I sure as heck clean up with a pooper scooper :stick_smack:

    My little one still likes to play in the sand and build stuff, that'd be nasty for them to dig into the sand and uncover a big ol dry dog turd.

  4. Who says they are going to fight the fight.. Can they prove it.. Are they trying to say that the orginizations out there arent doing a good job.. Why dont they just become involved in those orginizations.. Until we see some form of breakdown as to where the funds are being allocated the only thing i can think of is high administrative costs which means its goin in someones pocket one way or the other. What happend to Duners, the TRT and orginizations of that matter that are there to fight the fight for the members... Why dont people support them.

    I know as a website we SUPPORT anyone and everyone involved in the fight to keep dumont open. As a buisness (not really) we have donated to FoDD we have participated we have tried to make their life easier to fight the fight.. Are we charging for it.. Nope!

    dammit now im done :blury:

    They've created forums on gd for those organizations. So they are becoming involved as well as creating their own glamis specific things like adopt a wash.

    I guess they have decided to take the fight to another level and for that funds are needed.

    So should I have waited to donate until someone shows me how the money is being spent or trust them and give right away. For now I didn't see any reason to not trust them.

    On the lighter side of things if it turns out we were all scammed and they turn tail and run with my $65....well I spent that the other night at Hooters :barf: :ahhhhh:

  5. Proud premium glamisdunes.com and ddr.com member.....

    Yea at first I was skeptical and thought WTF!!! The more I thought about it and the more I listened to what the master plan is I thought ok I'll give it a go. It wasn't about which board perk I was losing becuase of not being a premium member.

    I've been an off roader my whole life, I'm now 37....that's a long friggin time. I've seen enough of our rights as off roaders taken away that it makes me sick. The least I can do is pay 17.8 cents per day to an online community who says they will fight the fight.

    The added perks of being a premium memeber were done to try and entice people into paying.

    So before you go bashing....think what you would do if this site said hey were gonna fight it! Please help us.

    Oh and not all of us on gd.com are jacka$$es....but you get some in every crowd. :ahhhhh:
