Well, we all made it home safely. The run was a blast and somewhat of a success. I say somewhat because we had our share of problems.
Mine started Friday trying top fiix my locker after it got put back incorrectly with my gears. I got the new pin in and it still wouldn't work so i spent 4 more hours pulling it apart and getting it back in there correctly. So tim and I got on the road from indy at 6pm and arrived at 1am Michigan time to sleep in our trucks at the locked gates to the prison er campground.
Then Saturday morning came around and Vairking couldn't get his buggy to fire so he and his buddy ended up riding along.
So after all this we got to the dunes to start our day off. Tim, Shaun and I where driving. 10 feet into the park litteraly I burried my rear end. tim was too far ahaed so I grabbed a jeeper to pull my 2 wheel drive butt out. Then I aired down and after playing a bit got used to the soft sand in 2 wheel drive with tires that just dig. I eventually made it up everything I tried and I tried it all.
Shauns problems started right before lunch when his front end started grinding in 4wd. So he decided to be my co-pilot for the afternoon. We had a good deal of fun going up and down the hills and checking out all the unique rides there including a school bus, a dodge neon on a truck frame, a lifted el camino, and a lifted mustang. Drag raced some quads and dirt bikes and got my truck left in the dust, but atleast I beat the stock chevys!
I think I have said enough just click the link for the pics and I can provide further expanation of those if need be. Big thanks goes out to the big red Xplorer Recovery vehicle. If he ever gets a smaller rig I will have to get a winch.
