  1. I have 3 2006 Polaris 90 predator bikes to sell. 
    They’re in nice shape. 
    I am the second owner. I bought all 3 from the original owner. 
    All of them only have 1 or 2 trips on fresh engine rebuilds. 
    My kids are all to big for them now. 
    Asking $2,200 each

    I only have this photo on my phone. I’ll pull them out of the shed and get some better ones.

  2. We went to Eden, Ut a few weeks ago. Nice place. Somebody left a huge metal paper airplane in the forest. Nice lake, best of all cool weather. 
     

    The rim in Arizona is a spectacular place. My wife grew up in one of the small towns East of there. One of my favorite places especially for monsoon season.

  3. The car ran good. New gear set in the diff was pretty good. Maybe another set might be better but its pretty close for now. I am thinking I may like this ratio a lot for Dumont. I am excited to find out. The new arms held up fine so far. I felt like I gave them a pretty good beating, but maybe more time will tell. The new torque converter was much better than the old one.

     

    I played with bypass adjustment that made quite a  bit of difference. I still have to much rebound in the rear but I still have more adjustability in the shock. Overall it was a good trip. My 2nd oldest got to rip around in his Grandma's car. It was fun having him out learning to dune a buggy.

  4. Oh and I also put a limited slip diff in the quick change. So far in the hardpack it’s 100% better. I need to get it into the sand to see how well it will work there. 
    I think I’ve finally got the right ratio/gear set in there too. Should be a lot of fun. 
     

    Swapped the torque converter too. I had a basically stock converter at 1800 stall. I switched it with a 2300 stall and it seems to help also.  

  5. Back to work on this thing. I made a bunch of trips last season and had a ton of fun. 
     

    However this year I haven’t been out. Hopefully soon. I’m having to deal with this first.

    This is the better side. The other side is worse. Both front lower a-arms are bending. I thought maybe it’s not .120 wall tubing or maybe it’s not chromoly? Upon cutting its .120 wall, at least it looks like it but I didn’t actually measure. I have no way to verify material. So away they go. I simply don’t want to risk it. 
     

    Here’s the replacement

    You can see a piece of the old arm. The bend was where the small plate stopped. Hopefully this will fix it. 

  6. I wear a full face helmet and sunglasses. Works pretty good. If I keep the lense closed I rarely get sand in. However I like to leave it open for fresh air and tend to get blasted once or twice before I realize I should close it.
