  1. @JeepingJay36 owns a sign company and could probably get you some made up. I've got a handful. What size are you looking for?
  2. I've been building it since December and we're finally just about done with it. I'll be posting a full build thread after I'm 100% done. You can check it out on my blog. I have to get the build updated on there too, but some of it is already documented. http://livelikepete.com/category/van-build/ It's been a long road and lots of work, but it has finally come together! Super stoked. There's more of the build on my Instagram too, https://www.instagram.com/pete_greep/ or our newly created, shared account (dicksinavan) https://www.instagram.com/dicksinavan/
  3. Yeah that place sounded good when a friend told us about it, then we learned you have to pay $40+ per person and there's not even a chairlift.
  4. Nice mix of fun stuff there. How are you liking the 1090?
  5. What did you do for Memorial Weekend? Post a pic or five. We did a little camping, mountain biking and relaxing at Big Bear with our newly built out Sprinter.
  6. Many people are already planning for next season. With Halloween landing on a Wednesday this year, there has been some confusion as to what weekend is the official "Halloween Weekend" at Dumont. Halloween weekend kicks off the 2018/2019 Dumont season on October 27-28, 2018. It is always the last weekend of October. So start your planning now! Forum discussion...
  7. until
    Although Halloween falls on a Wednesday this year, Halloween weekend at Dumont is the last weekend in October (Oct 27-28).
  8. The 2017/2018 dune season has unofficially come to a close and there have already been a handful of days touching that 100-degree mark on the thermometer. This may make you unbolt your paddle tires and hit the lake instead. However, springtime at Dumont still offers many perfect-weather days to go out and enjoy the dunes. You can still catch a cool weekend if you watch the weather forecast. Many days have highs in the 80's and 90's. That sounds warm for the dunes, but what that means is beautiful mornings in the 60's and 70's. Wake up and be the only one making tracks in the sand then hang out in the shade or dip your feet in the Amargosa River (if there is water flowing of course). Then once the sun has cast some shadows the other direction, get another run or two in before enjoying a quiet night under the stars without any neighbors blasting their music or scaring your dogs away with their fireworks. My point is don't hang it up quite yet! If you are already having sand-withdrawals, there still is a cure. Just don't wait too long because before you know it, the overnight lows will be 105°. Take advantage of the empty, smooth dunes while you can. Keep in mind that while Memorial weekend is not considered a popular Dumont holiday weekend because of the warmer daytime highs, there are usually still some die-hard duners still making a weekend out of it. Get out there and shred! Tips for duning "out of season" Always bring water with you on dune runs Watch out for those "witch eyes", holes and shelves Never dune alone Bring other experienced duner friends A tow strap and spare parts that regularly break are always good insurance
  9. bling BLING! Looks nice, Clark
  10. submitted by @VegasSparky
  11. Awesome. You win, since nobody else has posted one up and it's also a great shot!
  12. If I remember right (9 years ago), yes, it corrected the problem I was having. I don't remember if it was spitting out a little fuel, but I could see that being a possibility since it loses spark and backfires.
  13. Post up a pic for the May Dune Pic of the Month and then we'll vote. Dune Pic of the Month Rules 1. The picture must be YOURS. You cannot post any photos you did not take. 2. The picture must not have any watermarks or logos on it. 3. The picture must be at least 600 x 600 pixels. 4. The picture must abide by the rules of this board and be DUMONT related. 5. By posting a photo, you allow DDR to use it on our web pages & social media.
  14. Yep, just google trailer gas tank. You'll likely have to do some fab work to mount it in there and piece everything together but it's totally doable. I've seen a few friends to it. Here's a full kit, http://www.mirageinc.com/complete-fuel-system-40-gallon
  15. Terrible news. Coral Pink can be very dangerous. RIP fellow duner.
  16. "Out riding under the stars...", submitted by @sand chick
  17. Ok we have a winner. Thanks everyone!
  18. Need more votes to break the tie.
  19. Nice truck! Very desirable year. You forgot price BTW.
  20. I'm sure it will be dialed in better. Last year was the first one and it was sort of a test run for @JeepingJay36 who is the prez of FoDD. He's who heads that up.
  21. Welcome to DDR. It'll be warm, but not too hot in my opinion. The place should be empty. Enjoy! Here's a map of the camp area. If you have Verizon, there's good signal down my bathroom 3. More map stuff here, http://www.dumontduneriders.com/maps/
