Very nice, Extreme's fit and finish are second to none. I've had a couple and had zero issues, definately on my top 3 list! You just made me want to make a run to sbdno and drop a deposit with these pics... Enjoy, be safe and have fun this weekend.

You're probably already enroute (or there) but FYI you can skip the 10 altogether. Just take the 215 N thru San Berdoo to the 30 E, then either go via the 38 or the 330/18 into Big Bear. FWIW I think the 330/18 route is quicker, the 38 route takes you around Rim of the World into Big Bear and is a longer route but less twisty-turny. Whichever way you go, you're still climbing to about 7000' on two-lane roads (at some point).
That would add about 10 miles if the 38 was the route, you are speaking of the 18

Best way for you would be 15n 215n 10e 30 towards highland exit san bernardino ave, go straight through san bernardino ave to lugonia turn left lugonia turns into state rte 38 right up to big bear, its the way we get our cranes up there when needed. Stop by barton flats (just past angelus oaks) for a beer were camping up there fri night. It's by FAR the straightest route. You will come in on airport side of town (east)

Be polite, there are some great vendors and some that seem as if they just do not want to be there..... I personally don't see how they make any money on the off weekends. With the price of fuel etc, I would reccomend sticking to the big weekends at first. Oh, and watch the weather in Baker, if winds are 30 plus mph it's not worth the money you will make to have your equipment / product destroyed. GOOD LUCK!

Very cool pics thanks Woody!

You know if they are filing Chapt 7 or 11? If they closed there doors must be 11. That really sucks, I had a couple over the years, and I for one had exceptional service from the factory. Truly sucks to see another business which supports our sport go under if this is true...

Local dealer is getting 2 I tried to make a run @ reserving one a few months ago. Sales Mgr said he will give me a call when they figure out what they will be asking but it "looks like either 30K over msrp or an auction" :mischevious: I said dont bother, for that kind of jack I would be rolling in a new Z06. Nice car though AND a back seat!
-
Two buddies have them and are happy, way stronger than an s4, rated to 1000hp in a sandrail. For close to the same money if I was building a car I would chose the Fortin (2 year warranty in a rail) but if youre looking at a car which allready has one, go for it.

what was the situation regarding the kid @ G who go a ticket? parents not watching the kid ride???
The dad was actually walking behind the kid while he was riding, officer must of been having a bad day, they are WAY more laid back @ Dumont.. (except if they see you launching mortars) so I have heard...
-
Funny thing is is that it is legal for a kid any age to drive a side by side or golf cart.. My kids are 10 and 12 and both ride 400's (when I can wrestle my 700 away from my 12 year old). They were riding lt80's @ 4 years old. Never been stopped although the camp next to us in glamis recieved a ticket for a 5 yr old on a quad... In the dirt the large quads are a lot to handle so my kids ride bikes, but on the sand the horsepower can go a long ways to keep you out of trouble.
Oh, and nobody but myself will be teaching my kids how to ride AND I was talking on the cell not using my hands-free on the freeway today in California

ya alpha motorhomes went under as well
suspensions unlimited is going under as well
wow this is a bummer
I thought SU was just relocating to a smaller facility???

I am hoping alot of A/C units break down so I can do the same amount of trips...........J/K. I do plan on going as much as possible, since last year wasn't the best for trips.
too bad you are not in so cal, we have set over 100 commercial package units in the last 2 months due to theft. Stores go to turn them on and no cooling due to a missing coil... Set 8 last friday (with cages) and by mon all the new units were stripped... f-in theives .. I'm looking forward to less peeps out in the dunes and looking for a deal on a slightly used rail...as always... :freakin_nuts:

This was the first summer trip in mid may.
If you guys ever get the chance to do one of the Baja Wide Open tours it is an absolute blast.
Day 1 Horsepower Ranch , Ensenada
Day 2 San Felipe
Day 3 Bay of LA
Day 4 San Ignacio
Day 5 Scorpion Bay
Day 6 La Paz
Day 7 Cabo San Lucas
Great food, great guides, and they let you drive the cars HARD (just pring some coin for the deductable).
Even had Roberto Gurrero (f1 and indy cars) as one of 2 the guides (spins a mean hula hoop as well). 11 buddies and myself got togeather and were joined by a couple of Britts on the tour.
Next is a couple of Havasu trips and a cruise to Alaska!!
-
Very cool, I'm looking to make the same purchase, how far back of invoice did you end up? Congrats on the new ride!
-
That satin black is a great idea holds up to the sand blast and shouldn't spot (from oil etc) like the flat. Man I wish my car wasn't gloss black... Anyways, new car looks SWEET and all's well that ends well.

It smells like a$$ wholes in here.
A guy we camped with had purchased one of the Joyners, he later added Kings, performance upgrades etc and is still stuck playing on the finger dunes. I take this sport seriously as well as the information I get on these boards. I have made some bad purchases in the past for sure, and if the fact that I'm willing to state my OPINION to save someone frome having a bad, costly experience makes me an "a$$" so be it.
>You buy a new Japanese side by side and dont like it at most you loose 20% of purchase price.
>You shop this market and by a mid travel beam car (from a well known MFG), and you buy right this time of year, if you dont like it you may even turn a buck.
>You buy a chinese made Joyner and dont like it, well.. look at resale value on chinese atvs...
I have been duning over 20 yrs and again have made some bad purchases, when you do it can literaly ruin a season or two and again I am just stating my OPINION trying to save someone some frustration / financial loss...

1700+lbs, that thing is a pig! If you want a buggy for that kind of jack you could get a used mid travel beam car and drive circles around the Joyner. If you want something new to cruise around on (side X side) get a polaris, rhino or terex. That joyner is NOT a buggy I could break within minutes of arriving @ the dunes if I drove it like my buggy. Plus, IMO they look pretty

Foremost here, never had to use them on rail but were really easy to deal with when the moho got sandblasted!
-
Ive had a couple of each (2.0's and 2.5's) the 2.0's are definatly not lacking on power by any means, the power is just produced more like a 2 stroke. You can short shift the 2.5's and lug up just about anything, with the 2.0 it is a little flat on the bottom.. A built 091 would be sufficient with either motor stock. HOWEVER, a closed deck, 2.5 with a built motor and intercooler in a car that light sure sounds like some fun!
-
Now you really have my interest, I'm diggin how your cars look so different. When it is time to build stick with a 2.5L sohc or dohc WAY more torque. I'll be watching to see if you figure out a way to put a 2.5 intercooled subi and a 2d in there
-
Looks like a good spring / summer Baja Wide Open trip from Ensenada to cabo, houseboat on majave, night trips to the dunes (when moon is full), Alaskan cruise with some halibut fishing and a trip to Australia to extend the summer later in year
-
I've only seen them upon departure, sat pm and all day sunday. If you figure out the cost of fuel, food etc it is really just a fraction of the expense to be legal and contribute to the ammenities.

Hey yoshi, I've been checking your cars out for a while but had NO idea how big they were. Very Cool

moho here for above mentioned reasons plus if you want to get an rv spot on the river / lake you can tow the boat out with the moho.
