  1. No way the quad would fit in the truck bed, trailer is a fifth wheel, first turn and the quad would be in the trucks back seat or the trailers bedroom closet LOL I really think I can cantalever a deck out there supported by 3 trailer recievers. Wouldn't have to be too deep to support the quads rear wheels. It's this or tow a trailer behind the trailer... Not sure whats involved there but I am sure a new license would be needed. Chris
  2. I have a 33' Attitude I can get the Predator in there but I also have the kids Quads (2) i was thinking of building a deck that would be cantalevered off the tow reciever on the trailer, maybe add two more recievers for a total of three, Then just run the quads up on there rear wheels and chain them too the rear door. Seen anything like this?? trying not to re-invent the wheel :-) Thanks Chris
  3. Looking for the same... Tried the link posted above get a 404 error? Thanks Chris
  4. I am New to the forum so I hope this is the right place to post.. Just got back from Dumont this was my first trip with the Predator in the dunes... My first time in the dunes in the pilot’s seat... Lessons I learned #1... Don't stop in the dunes, Yeap I got stuck and buried up to the skid plate. The other duners out there are just awesome 10-12 guys stoped, lifted up one side then the other, the sand fills in and done. (I will now carry one of those bar type ratcheting jacks and only stop headed downhill)... Lesson #2 When the rear wheels are off the ground DO NOT BE ON THE GAS! I swear I thought the rears were planted, anyway I broke both inner CV's on touch down, again the Dumont Dunes community to Mr. dumb-a$$'s rescue. Pretty crumby feeling stuck in the middle of nowhere and watching as the sun is going down... I swear I heard hungry coyotes! I owe some major thanks to the first man that stopped when I was stuck, he had an awesome buggy (It had a Rolex watch painted on the side) he took charged pulled in a bunch of his friends and we lifted the predator up & out. Then to the guy that stopped when I busted the CV's He tried to pull me with his Rhino but no go. Gave me a ride back to camp where I got my buddy with his big buggy. ...And my ignorance continues. Loaded up and heading out I made the foolish move of stopping next to the mall (Between the cliff and mall) with my 2wd. truck and heavy trailer... Yeap stuck again this time with the tow rig!! Morgan the welder came over and helped as did a couple guys with trucks.. You people make what could have been a horrible weekend into the best weekend I have had in a long time all due to the Dumont Community. I will pay it forward... Chris Campbell
