I wish I woulda known sooner. Anna and I have plans for Saturday night already.

Who ever said Don29palms can't wheelie?

No thanks, I'll only be there to kick it and . I have an RC10, but I'm over it.

you know!

I told you, Nick...one of these days it's gonna be a well known drink at the bar. Wait I think it already is. Harold and Chris at PT's and Damien at HR probably already know it because of us.

That thing is big pimpin

I smell a DDR staff meeting at Rhino King's this saturday afternoon!

Hey we were airing down in the whoops w/ I think my truck after getting buried trying to yank someone else out and we saw you. cool B)

Yeah I've got one.... New Years eve 05/06. Pauly Paul got to Dumont first and picked a spot way down the 2nd finger (different from our usual spot). The camp area was full of toyhaulers and motorhomes EXCEPT for this nice big area he found. It was very empty. So he decides to snatch it up the "prime" spot. He pulls in with no problem with this 1922? motorhome and flatbed trailer. We arrive and he runs out to the middle of the road to say hey dude it's kinda soft in there so watch out. I was like "really? How bad can it be?" I had just got my new Toyo M/T's and thought, hell let's test em out. Well long story short, any tire sucks a$$ in the sand aired up to 60psi. I haul a$$ in and decide to do a test run through camp to see how soft it was. I barely made it to the middle of camp. So after digging and digging and trying many ways to get it unstuck, I FINALLY air down. It was STILL not pulling out. We unhook the trailer and barely get the truck out with Steveo's Ford after numerous attempts. Then everyone decides to hook my t/h up to the Ford with stock street tires and pull it out with that. Wrong. It did just as sh*tty. Finally with BOTH trucks aired down and my tuck hooked to Steveo's truck which was hooked to the t/h, we got out. While we were digging out the sand from under the trucks, we decided on a different camp spot. (Go figure ) The funny part to the story is...PaulyPaul fires up the old motorhome and crosses his fingers to hoping it will pull out of camp. Well, he pulled out of camp like he was driving on pavement. We was laughing histarically as he passed me and Steveo looking like this---> . We won't ever try and camp in THAT spot again. As much as it sucked, we had the tres hermanos, ynot, and rogers807 to point and laugh at us to keep us enetertained as they sat in their golf cart and sandrails.

Looks like a cool place

Think I might have an idea what is going on here...multiple accounts (same IP). uggh

good question

It should be rated higher than that. Reading the specs for an 06 5.3L, the max towing capactity on 1/2 tons range from 6900-9100 lbs depending on bed and cab size.

I have a Sandpiper and love mine. They are very good quality trailers. They might be slightly heavier, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The lighter they are sometimes means cheaper quality construction. Your truck will pull 4,000 pounds about the same as it will pull 5,000 lbs. Just make sure you keep your loaded weight under what your truck is rated for. Usually 1/2 tons are rated to pull between 7,000 and 9,000 lbs. WW makes a nice trailer too, but I have heard quite a few complaints from owners on them. On the other hand I hear they have good customer svc, but these people might not know this unless they had a problem with their trailers to begin with. I'd say they are both pretty comparable trailers, you should be happy with either one. Those prices seem way high for a 18 footer though! Do your homework and shop around before you buy one. You can usually get an almost new toyhauler (used) for THOUSANDS less.

The little quads for kids under 8 can't even make it out of camp (at Coral Pink) so no I haven't seen any in the the dunes.

Gerald, I beleive you. All I was saying was that I always see kids unders 8 riding and they haven't done anything about it.

I've never heard of or seen them crack down on kids under 8 when I've been there. There's always little ones riding around in camps definitely under the age of 8.

Those are great!

They require kids under the age 16 (I think it is) to take a course at the ranger station prior to being able to ride.

yeah but they aren't allowed in the dunes at all. They don't allow you to burn them even if you plan on cleaning up the nails.

Good luck even getting them into the dunes. The rangers stop you if you have pallets or ANY wood with nails. Palets are a HUGE no no. Thay are not allowed. They WILL tcket you too. Bert and I almost got a ticket for a 2x4 with ONE nail in it. They are very anal about that stuff. I don't blame them though.

Is that like a best pair of Dickies?

I myself have never been into NASCAR at all. Maybe if it was way cheaper, I might have taken an interest by now. I just can't see spending a LOT of money to sit around for a few hours to watch some sh*t go around in a circle. If I wanted to do that, I'd just flush the tiolet for a few hours.
