  1. Got here a couple hours ago. I give the road a D. It gets better toward the end. Some pretty decent sized pot holes along the whole thing. Keep an eye out, around the last right hand bend before the river crossing there's a big hole on the right side of the road. Good thing I was hauling ass down the left side.
  2. Yep. Throw them in around 10pm. Smoke em for 12 or so hours, + or - depending on size of butt and weather. I usually take them out around 160, put them in a tin with some apple juice, wrap it up good and put it back in until around 206. (You don't have to wrap, try it both ways) Pull it out, wrap it up in tin foil, wrap that in a towel, and put in a cooler to rest for an hour. I've kept 2 butts wrapped like that for 4+ hrs for a party because I timed it wrong. When I pulled them they were still pipin hot. Should be able to pull the bone out and shred it all by hand. Yum yum yum. Make a good vinager based finishing sauce to. Lots of good stuff to read on smokingmeatforum. My next smoker will be a camp chef pellet smoker with a sear station.
  3. Smoking is fun and addictive! Buy yourself a good thermometer so you can keep track of meat temp and smoker temp from anywhere. Very useful when smoking a pork butt overnight for example. You can monitor from bed. Maverick is a good brand but there are others. Cherry is great for pork, I mix it with something other than fruit wood, like mesquite. Twin packs of pork shoulder from Costco can feed an army for less than $30, and super easy. I've moved onto the electric pellet smokers, the set it and forget it style is pretty nice. Try reverse searing your next trip tip. I like mine med rare so I'll smoke it to about 100 to 105, and throw it on a 600+ degree grill to sear it until finished. Just experiment and have fun!
  4. I learned the hard way with stock China bombs and Carlisle's as well. My current TH is the only one I've bought new. I changed the tires the day after I bought it. Wasn't going to risk it. I run Sailun S637 all steel 14 ply G rated tires. I know trying to save $ on tires is usually a regrettable decision. But they actually have a huge following and great reviews. Had them on my 43' TH for 2 years now and they look brand new. Besides the one I had to plug. Lol. Damn nails in a new housing construction. Next time you're in the market, look them up. They used to be labeled LT, with the higher speed rating. Due to something to do with importing them, they had to re label them for trailer use only. Same tire though, so you still get the G rating with the higher speed rating of an LT.
  5. What kind of Maverick? Do you have a family that would utilize the 4 seats? If you do, then there you go. My advice is don't decide what you should get based on what it looks like others have more fun in. That's ridiculous.
  6. Umm, someone tell mother nature to stop turning up the heat. 92 on Saturday, seriously???
  7. Lucky guy got a free generator lol. That sucks, especially right before a trip. Saw one of those Yamaha's at Costco yesterday for sub $500.
  8. I wish I shared the same feeling about the warm weather as you do lol. 90 degrees is pushing the threshold of not going for me.
  9. Damn!!! Must be the race gas! Lol.
  10. I think you'd be fine until you wanted to run your main AC. A friend of mine bought 2 of the harbor freight versions of those to stack. He runs them for days non stop and they do great. That Generac is even cheaper than the harbor freight version.
  11. Ram Proline. They just did 8 springs for me. Also silver to red. Another company wanted a lot more and was going to just powder right over the silver. Ram Proline charged me $200. Did it right and stripped the stock silver. When I told them my color, they had to order it..didn't charge me a penny extra.
  12. The extra 850lb isn't going to kill ya! Better than stopping in Baker. You're 20 min away in Baker, you won't want to stop!
  13. Considering that ad is 4 years old, I doubt it.
  14. Ehh, I made sure my batteries had water in them. Lol. I should probably re grease my wheel bearings but I'm to lazy. So I'll just use the EZ lube fittings for another season. Nice upgrades.
  15. This is great. Last year was a blast, sounds like it will be even better with the added organization and better location. Thank you to everyone who works to put this on and make it a fun, safe event!
  16. What a beautiful dog and companion!!! Love the look on his face in the 2nd pic.
  17. Dunes look crazy right now.
  18. Same as above. I fought selling my quad for a season after getting into sxs's, but I just found myself riding it less and less. It wasn't because I didn't like it anymore, but the damn thing just beat me up. Once the rails and sxs's had 24hrs to tear up the sand, it just made the quad ride to brutal. My 6 yr old rides a suzuki 90, and i'll keep her on quads and bikes til shes much older. She won't be spoiled with a steering wheel. I think there will always be a spot for quads in the youth scene. Gotta say though, I do miss drag racing and hucking the 450r.
  19. Sold the RZR and switched teams to the Can Am X3. Whole nother animal, can't wait to dune it. From 110hp N/A motor to 200hp turbo (tuned of course) and long travel to tear up the sand, and a fully lockable front diff to conquer Moab. Still isn't a rail, but it's good for year around fun with the fam.
  20. Jealous of never ending dune season ^^
  21. Took an amazing trip to Mexico Took the kid to Sea World and the beach because she made us feel guilty for not taking her to Mexico... Built the new X3 And took it to Utah.... Is it dune season yet?
  22. Looks like a lot of fun. That van though!!! Let's see more of that!
  23. very nice! hard to tell in the pic, is the kit long travel? going to be a whole new car!
