Mudslides for sure. Johnny has to make them though. Ya it could get confusing with the trailers huh.
-
That is because we didn't have the paddles on the rhino and couldn't get up high enough for good shots.
-

Me and sand chick will be out on Sunday. -
THat was great. I am glad that I got to meet alot of people that were in these pictures this year.

It did great in the sand. My son is almost ten but like I said he is big. He has also been riding since he was four. I had been running the Sand Gecko padlles on it but would have been better served with a lighter paddle. I have had a few problems with it. The carb that came with it (24MM) always seemed to not work properly so I went to a 28MM and it made a huge diference. The stock ball joints that were on it also were waty to stiff and made it hard to steer so I put some VW type on it and it worked great. I believe I had to replace the head gasget which is a rubber o ring type as well. I changed the cluth stall speed as well since it wouldn't move untill you were really high in the rpm range. I think the only other thing I have had to do was put a new high perforance belt on it for the cvt. Any more question on these things let me know.

Ya that is my sons Apex for slae here. It is so freakin fast but he is already tiping the scale at 115 and can ride a Z400 already. If you can find one for under 2000 grab it. They are amazing with a few upgrades. It suited him well when in the It would still be the best thing for him in dirt but it's all about the sand for us. I think it would do about 40 on the flats with him at his current weight in the sand and it is fast as hell on the street even with my fat but on it. I might just keep it for his little brother. It does use a Taiwanesse motor.

POSITIVE Highlights from 2007/2008 Dune Season
Just Mike replied to sand chick's topic in Dumont Happenings
OK Here it goes. Hanging with people from my site Hanging with people from DDR. You guys can party. Getting Sandchicken to Vegas. Learning how to drive a turbo car. Driving Richies Devil Driver all da!@ day rocked. The fact that my little one Justin digs on being in the rail again. Drinking by the camp fire. Loosing mulitple wheels. :shocked2: Night rides with Predu. Staying in the Hilton. Capt. And Tina's rolling bar. Meeting Ronnie. You are a welcome addition to our camp. Last but not least. NAPS. I am sure I am forgetting some stuff but I will come up with it later. -
I am going to try and make it for a day trip atleast.
-
Hey Jim. Richie told me you doing better. Hope you heal soon. We got some Coral pink missions to go on this summer. Let me know if you need any help with anything.
-
Enough with the socializing and get back to work. LOL.
-
Just wanted to stop in and that you guys for having us in your camp. Tina and Capt have the best dune bar I have ever seen.
-
I will follow you through the dunes any time Don. You picked some bad as lines
-
We had a blast hanging with you guys. Gotta do it more often. I don't remeber all of it but that means it must have been fun. Thanks for having us over. Still didn't make it on a run with you pete. Maybe next time. We did have a good run with Don and buggy chick though. We couldn't save anything for new years since we both had to take off.
-
That first pic of the rail airing it is sweet. It was a blast out there this weekend. We finally got to hang with alot of people from this site and it rocked.
-
Looks like we might have to head on over to your camp instead of you coming over to ours
-
I was with richie at the last meet and greet in body but I was so freakin hung over I don't think I said a word. I just listened to you tell us about your car breaking. I was just sitting there feeling your pain.
-
Me and all the usualls that I camp with will be there Friday. I am hopeing to drive my car out to the meet and greet. It hasn't made it yet but this could be the one. Maybe I won't drive it untill Sat. Ya Right. See you all out there.
-
You the Tool.
-
That was brutal. I can't believe the guy with camera didn't notice the people in the way. I always try to have spotters. I had 3 spotters on that jump where my car broke. One of them just happened to be filming.
-
The two people in my car begged me to jump with them. When we landed it was so soft I had thought the car just poped out of gear. I did not feel like I was putting anyone in danger or would I want to. And I am fairly certain that you called me a tool but I don't even know you so I can't even take offense to it. I prolly am a tool any way
-
OK. I guess I am a tool with no talent. Now that we are clear on that, I love the Sand Limo. It is a nice change up from the Sancar Specialties tiki car I used to have. It had regular VW type stub axles in it and couldn't handle that kind of driving. The other side broke On thanks giving going up comp. I now have Super Stubs from gear on and they say they will not break. The car origonaly had a vw motor in it and I am sure the stubs in there where fine for that. Now it has a Nissan VG30DET. I have been told the extra horse power would chew those vw stubs up on a regular basis. By the way, Richie had nothing to do with it. If I could afford a new car that blue one he built would be mine.
-
Thats ok. I was a good jump and it is all back to gether now. Nice bug thick stub axles. Shouldn't be losing any more wheels.
-
No problem. We will have to meet up for sure. Last time my car was down and I couldn't make it to the south pole.
-
The car is up and running. Just did iy the old fasion way and checked them in the car. Can't wait to try it out.
