Thanks!

The shape is cool, but looks odd from some angles. I'd prefer to see more of the motor. Maybe just smaller and back farther so the opening is bigger. I tried finding a pic of my buddy Ryan's V8Rail to see what his hood looks like and these are all I could find. Just gives you ideas. I can get more pics if you'd like. He's just down the street.

MLK weekend was great trip. Although the sand was a little damp, it was still pretty good duning conditions. We got a bunch of fun rides in and had a blast. The weather was perfect all weekend except for Sunday night. It got WINDY. Friday night smudge pot action Saturday morning, the buggy was dialed in and ready to rip! Group run Saturday night we headed up to Sunset Hill Then back at camp we streamed the hockey game and Supercross to the projector. Sunday morning we had quite an epic run going until I found out my rear hub bearings decided to go south. We stopped out near the south end and hung out for a bit and then I limped it back to camp. Luckily I brought my dirtbike. When the buggy is down, it's always good to have a backup ride. The skies that night were full of color. That night our friends, Steve & Becky, cooked up amazing dutch oven feast. We grubbed and celebrated Steve's 60th birthday. They had lots of good dune stories from back in the day. Later in the night, we sat out in the dark taking pics of the eclipse and listening to space themed songs on Spotify. haha It was pretty damn cool! I grabbed a handful of moon pics and put them into a sequence photo collage. It was a perfect cap to the night and badass weekend.

I would say no hood. Just do the sides or corners like you have.

I heard @SAND~~SNAKE broke his back after a hard G out or landing in his side x side.

We'll be a big camp near bathroom 3.

Well it's still not April or May so I guess we'll have to wait and see. That's when the completion date is last we heard. I'm going out next weekend. I'll see if there's any progress.

Looks like we're headed out for MLK weekend. (Jan 18-21) I'm hoping for good weather and dry sand, but it looks like Dumont may get a little drizzle on Wed or Thurs. So far the forecast looks nice for the weekend though. Highs in the low 60's and low in the 40's. Doesn't get much better than that. Anyone else going? I just got the buggy dialed in after my little mishap with a witch eye over buggy roundup weekend. The front end got all new knuckle and steering heims up front plus a new tie rod. I got my power steering back too.

We'll have to wait and see. I imagine it would if it actually goes that long.

We've got some good ones this month. Time to vote.

Has anyone seen this yet?

The government shutdown has forced the FSA to cancel Four Stroke Wars & Banshee Wars over MLK weekend. I hope they are back up and running so it doesn't affect the Jeep Jamboree over Prez weeked.

MLK 2019 Weekend: Four Stroke Wars & Banshee Wars cancelled
dunefreak posted a article in Dumont News
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is an American federal holiday marking the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. It is observed on the third Monday of January each year. This year it is on the 21st. MLK Weekend is never very busy. It is actually quite peaceful and most look at it as a "duners holiday weekend". It's a chance to escape the crowds and get some quality duning in without the added stress of traffic in the dunes. UPDATE: The Banshee Wars and Four Stroke Wars have been cancelled due to the government shutdown. There isn't enough BLM staff to oversee the event. A few things to keep in mind for MLK weekend 2019 Holiday Pass required: MLK Weekend is designated a holiday weekend by the BLM meaning a holiday pass is required. The holiday pass dates for MLK are as follows: Jan 15 thru Jan 21, 2019 Government Shutdown: Please not that if there is still a government shutdown, there will be no staff to clean the restrooms or restocking of TP, so make sure you bring your own. Please remember to always practice "pack it in/ pack it out" and haul your trash out. There will also be no fire or medical staff on site. Use 911 for emergencies.

Yep, just pull the linkage off then unbolt that rear housing part of the case. The seal presses into the end. It's pretty easy.
