well dumont was interesting. the road is a mess. can you say grader wtf the exit out of the wash is a step down if they dont grade that someone in a fifthwheel is gonna tear the a$$ out of there trailer. we got the red buggy done at 3:00 left at 3:30 like chickend with are heads cut off. ( to excited) subsequently we left without the camera we figured well were meeting big red at baker (big red is davids ddr name) we will pop in and get a cardboard camera ha !!! forgot it again !! so we got there at 6:30 and was unloaded about 7 it was 100 degrees but the breeze (or excitement) made it feel cooler. the ride : lol well red had to drop out imedietly battery trouble so off we go my car was running about 208 degrees and i thought )((&^%&$#$@%&%$(%)* here we go again i asked my buddy what he was running he was at 210 ha ha !! sucsess his car never gets hot it was just the heat making it run a lil warm whew !!! we ran the whoops to comp a bit to test my buddys bypasses everything ok so off we go we duned in the shallow dunes to the north pole. great ride no problems. i was stoked !! so here we are at the north pole and we realise its a moonless night aaaaaaaa sh*t! now a normal person would go back the way they came. not this shortbus riden window licker i decided lets cut down the backside like a straight line twords big bowl and down. wellll...................... we dont ride out that way a whole lot the last 2 years cause of my buggy problems. so here we are moonless night, unfamilar ground and virgen sand ( no traxks anywhere) you guessed it we got LOST !!! the sand is really hard to read moonless as well the drop offs were sharp !! we were duckin and dodgin and laughing and lost. suddenly i ran out of skill.................... we hit a sharp climb out of a hard turn the sand was sooooo soft it was amazing. my buddy james was leading . he turned hit that climb and slowed to nothing . so mr no skill here turns and i drop speed try to shift to late > high centered f)*(&*%%#ck well not to badly stuck. the only injury was my pride. but then .................. i backed down and it was an off cambred transition i went to where i thought i could pull on up. no moon, light bleached the sand. i pull forward and i went 20 feet and suddenly im not moving . buried that sucker right to the pan !!! so of course my buddy who is caring and sensative guy turns around to see what happens pulls up and starts laughing uncontrollaby. well we dig out and now thoroughly lost. were out there pointing three different directions trying to figure where we are and where were going we saw the glow of the vegas lights (thanx you guys) and i found the frontage road back to the norht pole. so we decided to take the safe route back to camp well....... no moon no sillouette no sillouette no comp hill no comp hill back to lost............. f(*ck i drove right past it an was in those deep dunes behind it. so now my buddy james takes over leading. i swear we were going the wrong way i was my son saise comp is 20ft off your left door ok .... wellll .... i know where im at now !! brotha it was darker than compton. so we go to camp laugh it off me james and david ( big red ) put down a half a gallon of rum and go to bed. 6:30 am off we go about 75 degrees awsom virgen sand we were having a blast big red hung in there with his beam car ( good job david ) so the whole idea was dune and tune so we needed to tune my buddies bypasses and test the new a arms. what better place than a jump !!! so off we go well i went first it was pretty nice. i got about 6' off the ground and about 45 to 50 feet. i felt like i was floating forever though. so i got a case of sissyitus and started jumping smaller well big red had a camera .and when i pulled up he politely told me i was jumping like a wuss. so got some clicked at least one or two more like the first and i was done then it was james turn and he ran outa skill........... his ricochete has never been airborn because of the 10" kings were to soft with no bypasses he bottomed the front on whoops! so anywase off he goes. he gets a whoppin 2 feet by 10 feet he keeps tryin and biulding his confidence well that wasnt good enough for me. i ran out to the jump and held my two hands into the shape of a vagina to show him my support of his jumping skills............ James not to give in to peer pressure for any reason hit that sucker and got 8 to 10 feet flew 65 feet and landed smooth it was freaking awsom !!! however... he pulled his foot back off the throttle but when he landed he hit the gas while at full compression. POW !!! cv joint went on vacation his car was done. we pulled it back to camp with my car (flinging sand and rocks ) oooops and we loaded up and went home my light bar with the acuator is the only way to dune. i dunno how i duned without it. that moonless night that acuator really helped. sway bar needs to step up to a 1" rod but took 50% of my body roll out as it was though handled sweet. new tranny stuff car shifts smooth. motor is awsome never got hot ran cooler than a stock ls1 i was very happy. needs a couple of adjustments on 0 to 3000 range no oil leaks and I NEVER TOUCHED A WRENCH IT JUST WENT !!! DAVID aka big red and his family. i met them here, are very good people! we enjoyed there company and we invited him to camp with us halloween! awsom big red has the jumping pics i will post them when he sends them to me

GoodYear Wrangler Death Wobble
barefoot bob replied to Duneraider's topic in Truck, Jeep, & Car talk
our f series trucks at sturgeon, when the front ends would wear. you would get a death wobble. i hit a bump on the freeway driving one of those trucks and it death wobbled . threw me into the next lane and i almost hit a chp motorcycle cop. when we pulled over he could barely breath it scared the life out of him. he red tagged that pickup instantly. he wasnt mad at me when he regained his composer. but when i told him it just came out of the shop from saftey insp he was livid at the company mechs . -
