    Who wants to have a meet in Glaimis

    Im headed to the dune rave in Cali for newyears. Im driveing across country from Florida with my Quad and want to find some people that want to just get stupid and have a good time in the sand dunes. The place is of route 10, cant miss it.I made it in a bronco and drove it all over the place in there. If that piece of crap made it around dunning in my VX will be nuts and fun.Come on guys, its the biggest sand box in the US 40 square miles. What do you all think.

    I Live in Phoenix and Im about 3hrs from there. Im always down to go off-roading but I dont think New Years in Gallamis is for me. Way too many crazy folks for me... But I will keep it in mind.

    Are you driving alone? My brother used to live in West Palm and now lives in Palm Beach Gardens... Maybe I can convince him to drive up with you if you are looking for company. He works for PBCC and I think he has time off in January.

    What a great playground it is, wish I could play, too. Here's a funny story about the place. Last I checked (about 5 years ago), I was still blacklisted by Enterprise as a result of this stunt.

    Thats great, any air? Ow, Does anyone think it would be a good idea to switch off the TOD for the dunes, most people with quads that have 4WD run 2WD. Has anyone had there VX in the dunes.

    Keep it in 4-Lo at all times, and air your tires down to 9-12PSI, depending on the tires. I hope you have a '99 because the 245/60-18s don't flatten out for a big contact patch as well as the 245/70-16s. There's air on the south side of the Glamis store.

    I have nitto 285/60 18s, its an 01 and I have a portable compresser. Ive dropped my pressure to 10 psi in the sand before and ended up getting sand in the beed of one of my tires, im thinking 18 to 20 would be good. And why 4-lo, it does fine in the flat sand in 2nd high, it does 60 MPH in the sugger sand like that.

    So, yeah. Record-setting rain in Seattle.

    RECORD setting. Like, more than 15" in the month of November. And we still have a week to go.

    I'd love to buy a VX and drive it down to SoCal. I'd kill for that opportunity.
