No "DDR neighborhood" near the cleanup event for you guys?
-
FO SHO! We can finally get a quad ride in together too!
-
I don't know what happened to him. He was a character though. Who else is making it out for the photo? Come on guys- we need you there!
-
I don't know if anyone has checked the weather, but it's gonna be pretty damn hot this weekend for the cleanup. Unfortunatley Suspensions Unlimited can't be there this year with there big rig that has a huge that canopy. I figure this post might be worth a shot to see if any members or someone they know have a big canopy of some sort that can be used for the cleanup event. I'm sure that if it is a business they would get recognition as well. As ynot (Terry) said in another post, bring your EZUP's if you have one!

Thanks Brice. I too love the frame design. Best damn lookin mini rail out there in my opinion. :dance:
-
Congrats Joe....and as for Kenny...........well.................. you need to get a dune toy very soon! :ahhhhh: I have a feeling we won't be seeing you at Dumont much longer the way you are going with selling all your crap. Come onnnn man!!!! Trade that invisrail in for a real rail! :icon_twisted:
-
:ahhhhh: perfect...problem solved! :icon_twisted:

:ahhhhh: noooooooooooo, make it stop :dance: This is rediculous. seriously, just have ONE person hanging out at the dumpster asking every person if their bags are from DDR peeps. You can even take turns so that person doesn't have to sit there for 3-4 hours. I'm sure the peeps from DDR that wanna have there bags added to the number count will already say "add these to the count list for DDR" ? There...reallly simple. You can still go drive trucks and trailers around the dunes with a few groups of trash collectors, but after seeing how last year's went I can gaurantee you that is gonna be a cluster fk trying to log trash bags. There's too many people and things going on for that to work. Hmm...wait.... Maybe I'll be the guy at the dumpster counting bags, sitting under an EZ UP drinking a cold beverage. :icon_twisted: OR as someone mentioned before we can just try and get a number count from everyone who shows up for the group photo at 11:30 AM near the event.

:ahhhhh: Yeah I was thinking of that after I posted earlier. I don't think I ever even looked at my tach in my old car when I raced up comp bangin gears. You can hear when that badboy is ready to shift....it's right about when your right eardrum starts screaming my favorite tune. :icon_twisted: I hear ya on the dash thing too Bert. I really like the look of it how clean and simple it is.
-
It's already been prgrammed and I also went out and messed with it and pretty much figured it out. I just need to actually drive the car and see it start doing all the cool flashy display things to get a complete understanding how it works. Cleanup weekend is gonna be fun. You'll be in your normal spot I take it? I'll cruise by.

I'm gettin thirsty! lol
-
read on, son :ahhhhh: :dance: Mutha Bitchezzz Thanks Randy. You have an Intellidash too right? We gotta talk so I understand all of it completely. I think the Intellidash is more intelligent than me. :dance: No..I think I'll figure it all out. It doesn't seem that hard.
-
You just made me walk out to the garage and get the manual and see. :ahhhhh: :icon_twisted: I know what you mean since it only has 4 decimal places in the dash, but the tach actually displays up to 14,990. It's kinda confusing to explain, but it does display in the digital number readout and you can prgram the tach bar graph to redline at a specific rpm. A "HI" actually pops up and is displayed too at whatever you program your redline at. I'm gonna have to call Larry tomorrow and also just go out and mess iwth it before I completely understand it all.
-
Sounds like you had a great weekend, Jon. Post up some pics of that Sammy if you have any.
-
Thanks everyone boldies? I 'm guessing you mean smoothies. I haven't driven the car yet so I guess we're just have to wait and see. It's the same setup as my last car and I ran implements on it and it was never a problem turning. Steer with the gas! :icon_twisted: You'd kinda have to drive one of these cars to understand. Nope...no more keys with this car. :dance: I had him do the ignition with only a sealed switch and the wing has two butterfly type latches with no keys. I could, but pics really aren't gonna show the difference from the old ones. You'd have to see the new spindles up next to the old ones to realy see the diff. (Also: you can't see the difference between steel and chromoly...and they're chromed anyways ). The new ones are 4130 chromoly with larger diameter shafts. here's a pic anyways
-
I agree with Jon. ^^ Besides let's not make it anymore complicated than it has to be. :dance:
-
:freakin_nuts: yep...I'll be there
-
Hell yeah...I can't wait, bud!
-
no, not with a live axle :freakin_nuts: The only way you can run cutting brakes on these type of cars is if you run the reverse box which has a diff built in. Like this---> click here
-
Awesome, Mike! Thanks for putting that together! Makes me wanna go to the dunes.
-
Short Sand Cars...they are up near Salt Lake City. Larry was doing some work on the Rhino. I think it was his.
-
450 miles and 6 hours later.... unloaded at home.... :freakin_nuts: YEP...I'M HAPPY :dance:
-
pics.... picking it up yesterday... Me and Larry Duniemonkie waiting while Larry mounts the foot rest in the custom location just for her. Levi (Larry and Nannette's son), fabricator I've been waiting for this day! :freakin_nuts: more pics to come...just a sec
-
Just got home! Damn...driving a thousand miles in about a day and a half is draining! :dance: :freakin_nuts: The lowers are just some 50W Lazer Star type lights. The upper lights are the Super White Halogen driving lights. I'll have to see how they work. I was having issues with the HID's on the last car with it killing the ignition because of the high amperage draw when turned on. (Hayabusa's don't have an alternator, but a rather week stator ) Because of this I chose the Halogens instead. I didn't want any problems and didn't wanna have to mount those damn remote ballasts either. I don't drive that much at night anyways, but they should be sufficient. I did like the HID when I had them. They worked awesome. I'll post some more pics in a minute.

Well I picked her up! Pictures do this car NO JUSTICE. Holy crap. It's bada$$. I can't wait to get out to D. It came out NICE!! Here's crappy pic from my phone. I'll post up more tomorrow when I get home. BTW....Utah sucks! At least our hotel is nice as hell and has internet! Time for us to go eat, get a few drinks with a friend that lives up here and then REEELAX. Damn...I'm not gonna be able to go to sleep tonight without running out and checking the car out every 10 minutes.
