i useally air mine down to about 8 lbs never had any probs i run 35 in bfg"s. i learn air pressure was a big deal after burying my truck to the doors. hopefully that never happens again. but like i said never had issues at about 8 lbs at dumont.

yeah i found that out the hard way when i was young and didnt realize that when you buy a univesal set of wire you can cut them down to fit. so i zipped them all together like the first pic and had probs. pops was like but i learned and now its all good. i just got back from trying to find some universal wires and couldnt find any in this town. so im gonna call the guys at msd and see if they can help tomarrow. or give doghouse a call im sure he has what i need.

Just an idea... make them yourself.....

You can prob call them for specific information, but being able to choose the lengh of wire and boot angle by making them yourself should solve future header/melting probs... that and some pretty zip ties instead of looms...

that sounds good to me thanx for the sight im gonna check it out so i can get back to the dirt

man i cant wait for holloween. i will be there. not sure where im parking yet.

im sure ill just pull in unload hit the dunes and then drink some beers.

took the buggie out for a ride threw the calico hills last night and the ol girl started missing on the way back.

this morning while checking her out i found that one of the wires was melted to the exaust.

anyways to my question. since there are no part numbers on the wires that are one the car. and the :blonde: :blonde: that work at the local auto parts stores. can only find parts if you have the exact make model and year. not like the old days when you could tell the guy i have an 1840 vw and i need plug wires.

so does anybody know how to get the part numbers that i need?

the only info i have on the eng is that i was told buy the last owner it is an 1840.

its the points system.

the car was built in 1973. i dont know by who.

jusdunes set up really does work great i have seen him do it while i drink beer and watch

i like dead offenders too.

tanks are fun to drive i wish i could have my own

The hill was lit up so there was no need for lights.My point to all of this is how stupid it is to make someone put a flashlight on the bike to make it safe.

Our bikes would never go 80+mph up the hill if we could not see.I am a little smarter than that.

The ticket issue was that they give warnings to some and give tickets to others.If they had to do their jobs and keep everyone safe then do it 100%

i have found in the past that a person attitude when they get stop by any leo will determin if they gonna get a ticket or not just my two cents

sometimes its just easyer to sit and wait

They are nationwide. http://www.greenleafauto.com/

thanx for the info i will check them out for sure

BARSTOW • Visitors to off-highway vehicle sites and campgrounds managed by the Bureau of Land Management’s Barstow field office may soon see a few changes to their favorite spots.

BLM’s California Desert District received about $8.3 million in grants from California’s Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Program on Thursday, according to a release. The funds will go toward the operation and maintenance of OHV areas, the support of programs in the Dumont Dunes, El Mirage and Imperial Sand Dunes recreation areas, as well as increased law enforcement in those areas.

Mickey Quillman, chief of resources at BLM’s Barstow Field Office, said out of 3.2 million acres the field offices manages, OHV recreation areas include Stoddard Wells, Johnson Valley, El Mirage, Dumont Dunes and Rasor. There are also miles of open trails outside these areas that off-roaders can use.

Quillman said each BLM office writes grant proposals outlining their needs when competing for state motor vehicle recreation program grants. Whoever comes up with the best program, he said, is going to get a portion of the money. Much of the OHV grant money is used for things BLM wouldn’t normally have the budget or time for, Quillman said. This includes marking designated OHV trails with new signs and disguising blazed trails with vegetation or rocks.

“We’ll do vegetation planting and put rocks out there just to make sure people don’t think (it’s) a road,” Quillman said, adding that BLM will put volunteers from the California Conservation Corp and other organizations to work. “We’ll make sure it looks like normal desert again.”

David Briery, BLM spokesman for the California Desert District, said the grant money from the state’s OHV recreation program partially comes from green-sticker fees off-roaders pay to the state to register their vehicles. Funding for OHV grants also come from fuel taxes from off-road vehicles and fees collected at state vehicular recreation areas. Briery said the state OHV program also distributes grants to organizations such as Friends of El Mirage, which also operates on BLM land.

About $1.3 million of the grant money will be used to maintain public safety. Quillman said the money will be used go towards enhanced law enforcement at the different OHV recreation areas. Grant money also paid for a new helipad for rescue helicopters at Dumont Dunes. The extra law enforcement and BLM paramedics and search and rescue personnel will be able to maintain public safety during BLM’s major weekends, Halloween, Christmas, New Years and President’s Day.

Other uses for the grant money include upgrading Owl Canyon Campground with new barbecues, fire rings and shelters. Grant money will also be used for the junior ranger program at the El Mirage Dry Lake OHV Recreation Area.

“We’ll have somebody come out there with live animals that you typically find in the desert,” Quillman said. “(They’ll) talk about recycling, trash pickup and what you can do in the desert.”

Representatives from the California Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Program were unavailable to answer questions Friday due to state furloughs.
