$600, I guess I'm going to put it into my tank so I can get to work for 2 weeks. This $$$ is about as stimulating as a cold shower and bar of Lava soap to j**k off with

Right on the button, Follow these directions and he'll runnin' again

I'll be there looking at sh*t I can't afford and telling my girlfriend "But honey, we really need it"

I remember that as well Did you have the mask on??? If you would have taken the shots in the butt instead of the chest you might have taken the record for the day . Did anybody :shocked2: Now go put some neosporin on that chit

:shocked2: :6pak: Let the show begin :poke:

Good job Bob. Very well put and thought out. I love American history. My Great Great Grandfather played the bugle for the north. Got shot by the grey in Virginia. Grandma still has his uniform and bugle, blood stains and all. Maybe your family shot him Pretty cool stuff. I think we're all a little smarter now and hopefully Whiz has a better understanding of how the confederate flag made it to Dumont.

Either your a really big guy or that's a really small beer What is that a 16 ounce

Your right, corrected. Some people paid attention in History :fro_smokin:

Nah it hasn't, now it's just for fun. Honestly, Picking out a flag is more about personal preference and more than likely the only story behind it is "I like the way it looks, or it describes the personality" Confederate Flag= I'm a rebel or a redneck and they look cool. I doubt the majority of the people here really cares or knows about the history of the flag itself. It's a sand thing.

Uh Hmmm, Padla Brats have been around for at least 15 years. I've seen them at a couple of places including Fullerton Sand Tires. I've known a couple of people that have run them and they are a good tire but not the best. 30 years of my own personal experience says that everybody on here thinks there solution is the best. Including me Honestly you have to go with what your gut feeling is when picking out your tires. From what I'm gathering from this thread and from my own experience, everybody is recommending either the Extremes or the Sand Stars. As I mentioned Skat Trax makes a good tire. I personally prefer the Sand Stars because I tend to hit rocks and have tossed paddles with Haulers (not Extremes for I have never ridden them) however because I have tossed paddles with Skat Trax and have never had a problem with the Sand Stars I have been turned off by Skat Trax product line. Seems to me that you have 2 choices. Worse case scenario, you by the Extremes and end up tossing a paddle, guess what, you switch to Sand Stars. If you never toss a paddle, congratulations, you got the right tire for your ride.

Right on I learned sailkitty when my mom was hanging out with the Hells Angels at a get together in the 80's

A sailkitty (good comeback cmyfirepole) Lets see if anybody knows what a sailkitty is?

When I called them up to set one of our courses up, They told me that because of my kids age, I had to do it with them and pay the fee. This was a few years ago and could have been the instructors way of filling up his class as well as his wallet. Then the age thing and the 90cc motor came into the conversation and I decided to take the course by myself just to get the $$$$ from the manufacturer. I actually checked in to becoming an instructor for the ATV safety institute last year and they pay per student and you can set your classes whenever you want. Apperently they don't need any more instructors in the OC. You can fill out the application on their site.

I spent a lifetime in Georgia in just 3 short years. Man I hated that place. I was in Kingsland and St. Mary's. My fat a$$ couldn't stop sweating and the no beer on Sunday laws sucked (bible belt). Little in your nose bugs, mosquitos and water mocassons (spell check) Had my 250R ATC out there with the paddles hitting the local mud pits. Nobody had ever seen paddle tires or a 250R ATC out there before, it was pretty funny. I told people I was from San Diego, big mistake. They called me a faggot cause San Diego is right next to San Francisco. Which I guess makes them boys all New Yorkers according to their sense of distance. Not bagging on you personally but a little time in Georgia goes a long way if your from someplace else. Of course I was in some pretty small towns. South Carolina was the same way. Ever heard of Goose Creek or Summerville South Carolina? Yeah, I hadn't either. God bless the local paper mills. The only thing I really enjoyed about the south, The women were easy and the accents. What is the Georgia flag, I can't remember, is'nt it a big flippin' peach :dance: JK

Yep, Ya gotta stick him on a 50. It's a friggin joke. I've bought both my kids new quads and they give a $100 certificate from the manufacturer if the course is taken. I took one, my girlfriend took one and my girlfreinds kid took one so I could get my $100 each time. My kids have never taken the course because of the limits. I'm not going to run out and buy a 50 just so they can take the course. I can and have taught them more than any course can provide. By the way, I beleive you have to take it with him so you'll have to fork out the $100+ to do that. I'm not 100% on this but I remember reading somewhere that they have or are going to pass some deal where everybody is supposed to have their card on them proving that they have taken the course (including kids) I'm waiting till somebody catches my kids. I have my card somewhere, I know that as a parent I'm supposed to have it on me when my kids are riding. Big Brother is watching and I'm going to bust him in the lip.

I was sitting here thinking about some of the TV shows I watch. I'm sure a lot of folks watch the same shows. What the heck is wrong with me/us. I don't know why but most of the shows I watch on a regular basis are for killing time and the brain dead but for some reason I just can't pull away, I'm riveted/hooked. How do they do it and why are we addicted to these things? Here are some of the shows, Deadliest Catch (are they going to pull up blanks or is it going to be crammed with crab?) Personally I get sea sick and you'll never see me on boat in the ocean but I really enjoy this show, Why, I don't know. Manswers (this is some stupid useless knowledge but once again I'm riveted. I even Tivo it except now all I get is reruns, I guess they answered all our questions and it didn't take too long) Wacked Out Sports (Do we just enjoy watching stupid people doing stupid things, Yet, I still watch it. "is that going to leave a mark?") MXC (Japanese doing obsticle courses with witty commentary dubbed in english. I don't even smoke out anymore, why am I watching this?") Law and Order (the only one that has any sort of educational value. I think I could beat a murder rap now. Why are sick people commiting such hanus sexual offenses. Sometimes it's pretty disturbing stuff that is very close to reality and the news. Yet, I always watch it and a lot of them I have seen 3 and 4 times. Just can't get enough) Any of these beat Desperate Housewives, Extreme Home Makeover or American Idol. I can't stand chick TV. What do others watch and why? Maybe some of the ladies could tell us what is wrong with our TV choices.

Because it keeps the African-Americans from coming out to the dunes. We like to take them and string them up by the trees in Dumont and then put on our white sheets and have our meetings as we drink our Pabst Blue Ribbon around our burning crosses in camp. Sometimes when we see an African-American we like to tie ropes to their feet and hands and have a pull off with our quads or take them for a drag behind our rail. Our flags for the most part scares the smart ones away. Just kidding, just kidding. I know, sick joke. I have a warped sense of humor. I'm not a raciest, I hate everybody equally. I beleive the reason people fly the Southern Cross is to show that this sport for the most part is a "redneck" thing. Or they think it's cool because of it's looks. I doubt most people fly it because they are haters. Personally I prefer my pirate flags but that doesn't make me a thief. By the way, there are no trees in Dumont :dance:

Nice rig, Your probably right and she is on her way or already in Mexico I'll foreward this info to a few freinds of mine who are in a bunch of jeep clubs and do a lot of the jeep jamborees all over the the west. If they see it, they'll let me know. As for alarms, they suck. How many people actually pay attention to them anyway. I've slept thru mine going off. When I hear one going off in a parking lot I don't run over there and make sure a car is not getting stolen. All an alarm does is annoy people and wake people up in the middle of the night.

Anybody want to donate a set for 1 day for a tire durability test. I've never run the Extremes but I have gone thru about 8 haulers. I know that between sand skates, sand stars and the skat trax the vulcanized paddle will be destroyed especially with the rocks and hard pack out at Dumont. All sand tires tear paddles but I've only had the vulcanized ones actually lose all air pressure from a tear (usually at the outer edge corner of the paddle where it comes apart) Don't get me wrong, Skat Trax makes a good tire. Light weight and great hookup. If your running in sand with no rocks or hard pack they last. If your running a hill shooter, perfect. If you want to dune and make it from camp to the dunes without tossing a paddle, get used to 1st and second gear until your actually in pure sand.

I wouldn't go with haulers or any of the skat trax paddles. I ran them for years and I kept throwing paddles. The problem is that because they are vulcanized onto the tire carcass, they tend to come "unglued" when you hit a rock or hard pack. They do good out at Glamis for the most part but there are just too many rocks at Dumont. You'll be buying new tires a lot. Sand Skates are good as I'm sure you know. I run Sand Stars. Stay away from the vulcanized paddles. For a good reference point, take a look at your paddles or anyone elses that has a few trips on them. You'll see how some of the paddles are cracked or torn. Every one of those would be a new tire if your running skats

Congratulations little dude. My son has had a blast on his for years. I'm sure your pops has told you, "rubber side down" Have fun

Call him up and say "thanks"

You should be able to hear a vacuum leak. If you want to check for one, take a can of carburator cleaner and spray your lines and wait for it to sputter or stall. There is your leak.

:no_no: And that's at warrenty pricing and labor time. Customer pay, you would have been out of pocket probably about $2200+. Poor tech lost about 4 hours labor on that one. Don't worry though, he'll get it back from you next time Diesel injectors are big $$$. They have enough pressure to cut your hand off.

I was a service advisor for jeep for years. I can tell you from experience that replacing a carb will rarely if ever fix what the problem is. Out of all my years as an advisor I only replaced 1 carb and it was per customer request. Still didn't fix their problem. To top it off, 80% of the time when you replace a carb, their will be something wrong with the new one as well. I've come across a lot of people that have replaced their carbs with remans and to get a good one that will work, you have to go thru about 6. I doubt you'll find a new OEM carb for that vehicle. Your best bet is to have someone clean and overhaul your original if you didn't turn it in for the core charge. If you did, your SOL. Start running some diagnostics. More than likely, it's something electrical. You could always start your crap shoot and pull that carb off and go get another one until it seems to be at least where you started. If you got the $$$$$ swap it over to fuel injection. You'll be much happier
