  1. I was concerned, so I took a tape measure and found that the spare is the same circumference as the other 3 tires, so I'm good. The 33's are worn down to a 31 inch tire now Insurance company is fixing everything now... only a $250 deductable, plus they cut a check for two new children's car seats...go figure
  2. Don't know about the differential thing, but it makes sense. I drove the rest of the way with the spare on the back. They are 33's and the spare I thought was close enough to the same size... we made it anyhow. My son, he'll be three at the end of May. He's already got the 50 wired and follows me through the little dunes... only when nobody else is around to run him over. My 4 year old daughter as well... they love it.
  3. Nope, it's not Sand Snake's rail... Did he have a beater rail like mine?
  4. It's the 26 footer. It fits with inches to spare, but I gotta put the 450 in the back of the truck...
  5. We had an awesome trip this last weekend (3-2 thru 3-4), with a few hurdles. But it was all worth it in the end. Started out by blowin the tread off of the rear truck tire on the way out! This ever happen to you? I've only seen it happen to semi-trucks with retreaded tires. Thankfully, we were right by an off-ramp leavin Barstow and we were able to exit safely. Changed out the tire myself, and we were on our way again on the spare. But it ripped up my fender pretty good... (Insurance Claim!) Got there at sundown and had a swell time around the fire :chev_bowtie: About midnight the WIND STARTED HOWLIN REALLY GOOD(or bad). About 23-30 mph sustained wind with gusts around the 50 mph range. Stayed this way all night and all the next day Wind.... it's a love hate relationship. It creates the dunes we love, but it keeps you locked in your box when it really gets blowin. We watched some movies, played some games... stared out the windows Most were blown away with the wind and only a handful stayed. Sundown on Sunday... the wind stopped and I went for a sweet sunset ride...FRESH TRACKS. First thing Monday morning... many more fresh tracks for a full tank of gas on the LTR 450!! Spent the rest of the day in the buggy with the family. Don't need to desribe that any further than... HEAVEN... you know! Finished the ride with a flat front tire as we rolled in to camp right after throwin a big roost of the lip of the dune by camp! Wish I had some good pics of the ride, but we were too busy havin fun to think about it. Ouch! North Pole after an epic ride! Stuck in the box! My daughter wanted me to add that the desert flowers were really nice!
  6. We'll be there from the 1st - 3rd. We're leaving in about 20 minutes!!
  7. A fellow Glendoran! What's up? I'm on the northwest side, above Foothill, but still below the tracks!
