I'm interested in #1. Let me know prices fo shizzle

We carved up a couple good ones this year, and I remembered this thread. None are dune related necessarily, but thought I'd share:

I believe I still enjoy carving these more than my kiddos Any body else care to share their's?

Oh and here are some vids of me driving back Sunday on 3 wheels. I drove it till the wheels fell off! Had a blast!!!!

Yiah, that thing sounds awesome

Been back to camp on 3 wheels several times myself, with my first car that is. Looks like a hovercraft, or maybe the back to the future flying delorean a bit

I read on this site once, to slow down because the dunes are gonna be there when you get there...I think of a GNR song about patience... It took me several years to save up to get one of those overpriced diesel behemoths; I love it, and it's more than capable, but I started out as the half ton 4.8L gasser guy. Secondly, I don't stand on it with my diesel, because fuel prices still have me bent over. I agree with the math earlier stated; a few minutes behind a slow pickup ain't gonna cost you that much time. Heck, you could be stuck behind some stupid truck driver going even slower it's just the risk you take running big equipment, sometimes you win, sometimes you get caught behind grandpa snail...accept that and drive cautiously, and we will all get to have fun at the dunes

YIAH

Wow, Sorry to hear, but happy it wasn't any worse! Glad it was caught in time!!! Wake up call for sure...We are all guilty of taking the day to day for granted. Thanks for sharing man! I think I'm gonna go get checked out now too. I'm 35, but with all the stress of my recently former job, I had "an elephant sitting on my chest" for 2 days that I couldn't shake, about two weeks ago.

We both Gotta be here for those kiddos of ours! Make the most of your second chance

Nice. Looks like fun. I'm afraid of what I might bid on if I were to go to one...I'm a bit of an impulse buy kinda guy

I did the same thing on my wife's rappy when we first got it. Luckily, I didn't get it on gopro. My pride was all that was hurt

Nice man, nice!

CLOSED

we know who the real winner is...

Very nice looking car. Congrats

I love my LS ; You will too! What trans does the new rail have?

Bummer! My family has not yet been, and it was starting to look like we would've made this one. I understand how home improvement projects can run a little long. Best of luck to ya, and We'll be looking forward to what next years brings!

Dang that sucks. That's a nice looking truck, too. Sorry to hear.

I Craigslist quite a bit; I'll be lookin for it

nice! congrats. Gotta love them funco

Im up for it, but I'll be working 6 days a week from now til February..

After 11 years, we finally tackled our kitchen. I started in June, doing everything myself after work, except the countertops, and just wrapped it up... Only took me 2 1/2 months

We decided to raise the ceiling, which made the project a lot bigger !

At this point, my wife starts wondering if I know what I'm doing

We upgraded to SS appliances, and opted for a no touch faucet.

I had to recess the outlets in the backsplash for a cleaner look. I've got the LED accent lighting in, and we are finally done! It was a lot of work, but I enjoyed it! We are hanging decor today, and moving the table out of the living room !!!

^^^^^ Haha..... was that Tim's video following me at Glamis?

yah, I figured a couple people would get that...I still watch it from time to time. When I was in the market, that one had me jonesing bad

I love watching these vids; especially when work is busy and you can't get away yourself. Keep them coming!

I like it! LUCKYDAWG

Now to sit back and see who gets offended; let the

I agree with Pete; when I was boat shopping, a wise salesman told me to buy my 2nd boat first...I also played musical RVs for a few years, and again with the sand rails. I've come to learn that life has a way of surprising you. Before you're done making payments on your stuff, it becomes obsolete. Life will throw you a curve ball, and you'll find yourself with a wife, a kid, and...maybe a set of twins while on birth control LOL.

My advice would be to look down the road 4-8 years and imagine where you'll be, and base your decision on that. I wish I'd have known about your experience at Country coach about two years ago. Amidst my RV shuffling, I owned a nice Diesel pusher that needed some work, but I never completed it, and took a substantial loss on it, without ever taking it out once...oh well.

Good luck with your search!

Yiah!

The last sand video I watched that opened with a Transplants song led me to buy my funco....

Fuel economy is going to suck, but The truck will pull just fine! Make sure you have a weight distributing hitch, and an anti sway shock, as the passing trucks will get you squirly( As is the case with most bumper pulls that size). Make sure you have an electric brake controller, and Check that it's working before every trip! You have the right truck, but you'll always need to be cautious .

I don't have any experience with that trailer or layout , but It might be a tight fit getting all the toys in a 32... But you have options.

Congrats if ou get it!

There's gonna be 3 billion opinions on this. I looked into it awhile back and the only thing that I'm not sure about in your case is the flat-towed Jeep. If I remember correctly, all axles need working brakes.

Of course, CA max 65' length needs to be observed (I'm assuming you're in NV because of the triples endorsement).

yep. ^

I've towed doubles. There are a few requirements, but if I can offer any experience/ advice, it is that most chippies have no idea what 65' looks like. The only ones that keep up on that stuff are commercial cops( usually the ones with the camper p/u's); and they usually have bigger fish to fry. That being said, I've heard of them setting up stings on the way to glamis, and popping guys with 3 axle fifth wheels withoiut the class A license...so to what degree you comply is your gamble... I'm running over length by about 4' overall, and over on the fifth wheel(first trailer), but that's just how I roll. So far so good

It could also possibly be the rubber O-ring On the filter Pop out of the groove... Maybe the primer I don't know...

I believe the filter is before the pump on the suction side, So that would allow a tiny bit of air in without fuel blowing out, Due to the suction... Prime problems are a pain in the butt. I'm currently dealing with one on my Bigcat.

When you installed and mentioned that it was hitting the block; Is there any chance you might've thread it on a little crooked and not gotten a proper seal?

^10-4 on that. These cat filters are the best; but because they filter down to 1 or 2 microns, they can plug, but that's a good thing...don't want sludge going any further than the filter. I always carry extras, and a filter wrench. I've used them too!

Nice!

I like the foot peg wheelie shot , and the wheel hop. That was the perfect ending as well! Good job; Keep them coming
