zj4041 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 will i get stuck if i stay near flat area by vendors or bath room stalls near pathways? im driving to dumont soon with a front wheel drive volkwagon gti/golf hatchback towing 1000lb (atv & dirt bike). The car is rated for 1600lb. it pulls uphill on dirt /asphalt no problem. the trailer is balanced so that u can hold it at the hitch with your pinky....what ya guys think? im pretty sure if i keep my momentum i will be ok... but how about when trying to leave? from what i remember it was pretty compact near the flats, except for some soft areas here and there...and yes ive got a shovel and a tow strap worst case scenario... please no opinions... i want to see if any one else has tried some thing like this , or seen something similar at dumont dunes. thanks rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Rhino Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 you'll be fine as everybody else says.. stay away from the finger dunes and if you venture on to the flats stay on the high parts and welcome to DDR! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakster884 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Did you pull in Sunday afternoon. I believe I saw you heading in off the 127 from Baker. My Daughters thought is was cool with the car pulling the Trailer. I use to use My Altime to pull my Wave runner. It works. Glad to see you made it.

rushjunkie Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I had a '85 Golf that was a good little quad tow vehicle! I saw you out there and it made me think of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushjunkie Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Your video is giving me cold sweats and flashbacks of riding through all that chop. Nice run though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
