Always something with that guy! hahahaaa

So who's all meeting us at the gas station and who just plans on meeting us there?

This is why you always have a spotter and never assume someone is spotting or waving you on, especially when they aren't in your group.

It was mounted the way it was intended I guess. Mike was standing quite a bit off the seat so it was pointed down a little too much, but not too bad for our first test run with it.

Here's the first video. I think this was our 2nd run when Mike broke down half way through. Because of the length I couldn't upload it in HD but it looks decent enough. Hopefully I have some some more good footage to make a couple more. https://vimeo.com/67675546

I seemed to remember a discussion about the recall on here before. Then I saw your post when I did a search. I have no idea why I remember this stuff. Sometimes I can't even remember what I did the day before.

You posted this 5 years ago. http://www.dumontduneriders.com/invision/index.php?showtopic=9029&hl Did you get a different hauler?

It's not that is was too difficult to do again, but I'm ok with the been there/ done that attitude. We'll explore other areas next trip.

Just wait till you see some of the video. I want to go back really bad now. It has me jonesing.

We have a winner. Homepage updated

You need to old man that thing out. Camper shell, tons of horrible accessories from JC Whitney, running boards, bug guard, window air deflectors, the whole nine yards. Make it a super sleeper.

That's insane!

I own an 05 and I've been a master GM dealer tech for the past 13 years. Most of the issues you mentioned are small and easily fixed. Throw on a set of 2/7 injector connectors, pull the zip tie off the alt/ FICM bracket and you're good to go. I haven't had any issues with mine. Doesn't run hot (that was a certain # of late 04/early 05's) and pulls my big a$$ 35' hauler anywhere I need it to go. I would like to gain mpg and get cooler EGT's for towing. I'll be talking with you soon. I, personally, have seen quite a few more issues with the 06-07.5's than 05's. Lots of turbos, EGR valves and EGR coolers.

Keep your 06, Justin.

2005's have a ton of issues? What?

Here ya go. It took forever to process. It's pretty long (12 minutes), widdled down from over a couple hours. The crash is towards the end at about 10:20.

Looks like I can just buy a new lens kit. Sweet

pre-broken case!

Yesterday my buddy Steve (desertdweller) and I did a night ride through some single track at Nelson. On the way back we were side x side on a double track road and we came up on a nasty washout. It was much worse on my side and I stuffed the front end pretty good. Luckily I had the camera on and caught it on video. So I was watching the video and right after my crash the picture looked pretty crappy. I just walk over to my Go Pro which I had on my chest mount and found this... Funny how I didn't even realize it was like that last night. I must have taken the camera out of the case so fast to see if the video came out I overlooked it. Anyone have a used one they want to sell me?

4am? We leave town at 4am! You need to get up around 3.

Like sandseeker said we usually ride a pretty fast pace, but the dunes can be a little sketchy in the summer. It's the razorbacks that usually hold people back. They can be very sharp in June. Being that this may be a larger group this trip, I can keep it fairly tame. However, we are there to have fun and summer dune run groups are experienced riders. Just don't do anything you aren't comfortable with and never ride above your limits and always wear boots!

It doesn't hurt them to haul with the paddles on. Put them on at home. So you haven't ever ridden a quad at Dumont then?
