HelmetPigtails Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 We will be at Dumont for Thanksgiving with a group of friends. we will be pulling in late Tuesday night or really early Wednesday morning! Hopefully it will be as fun as Halloween! We will be doing Turkey, Ham and Chili and playing loud music and drinking when we are done duning for the night!!! We will have both of our sand rails with us, so if you see either rail, say HI! If anyone would like to join us, we plan to camp near Bathroom 10 Here are some photos of our trailers and rails if you want to look for us. Enjoy and happy duning!

dunefreak Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 My group will be out there but I won't. Gotta work that weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svengoolie Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) I'll be there. I have to work Christmas and New Years though. Sure beats fighting a thousand people at Wal-Mart for a $200.00 laptop on black Friday. Sand and turkey.

HelmetPigtails Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 Fastony, your welcome to join us and our group! Bummer for anyone who can't make it out on such a great weekend! And we will be at Vender row for sure. Need venders who sell VW Parts! LOL While Doghouse saved us last trip, we were lucky he had parts in stock as they are not stocking parts anymore, so we will have to find another source in Vegas or somewhere to get these must need parts UGH! Last trip we did major damage to our engine, we floated our valves, dented a piston, cracked our head between the intake and exhaust, Valve seat came out, Lost a valve lash cap, rotor broke, cap cracked and lost our entire pulley system for our alternator and we forgot to put our gas cap on and lost it! We bought brand new heads, brand new pistons and barrels, plugs, cap, rev limiter rotor (so we don't do this again), New lash caps, and everything else to put it back together for Thanksgiving! including all the performance machining for porting and polishing the heads etc.. We have everything back together and just found our rocker assembly is broke on one side, so we are on our way to replace those. total 1800.00 in engine damage, the experience, Priceless! it was the most fun we were having when all the damage occurred! Can't wait for Thanksgiving! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam @ GTP Off Road Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 we are starting to carry more parts for the VW cars. There are so many bikes and cars and motor options now it's hard to stock it all. We just got this 28Ft. trailer and It's already too small, So happy we didn't get the 24Ft we looked at. We still wouldn't have had basically a new motor though... We will have belts, fuel pump, pulley washers, and some other parts that I can't think of right now for VW. We have Heim joints, CV boots, grease, 930 Stub axles, Ball joints that would work on a variety of rails. Along with all the SxS and ATV stuff we have. We will be there selling Thursday and there Wednesday doing some riding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelmetPigtails Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 on the VW parts, this is what we seem to drive all the way to doghouse for every year. Belts, Pulley, Shims for pulley, the little half moon lock for the pulley. Fuel Pump (Halloween someone was looking for a fuel pump) FRAM HP1 oil filters, Oil, Cap and Rotor and valve cover gaskets. really that's about it!

sandbear Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Can't wait to see you all!! Is anyone bringing large scale RC cars/trucks to run out at Dumont this Thanksgiving? We run Losi 5T RC trucks when we aren't duning and would love to connect with others that may be running the same "toy". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunefreak Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Well since I have to work Friday/Saturday AND my wife & bro-in-law both work on Thanksgiving day, I've decided to bring my mom & sister out to the dunes for the day and join my dune family for the feast. It will be their first time to the dunes...ever! I'm pretty stoked and so are they. I plan on bringing my car to get a few runs in as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
