definitely! Great meeting you and Melissa. You two are cool people's.

I don't just have sand still flying around the cab. It's tucked in all around my person, too. Post shower. Haha good times!

 

Open the doors and leave it on full blast for 10 minutes, that's what I do

 

There was a diy car wash just outside the beach....spent a good 45min there washing the truck and trailer and toys. That salty sand is a bitch and will eat bare metal by the end of the drive home. I had to wash it again today after more sand worked itself loose. All in all its still worth it lol

 

I noticed that straight away. I woke yesterday and saw my sliders where my paint came off from rock rash had some surface rust. Hit it with mild sandpaper and wd40 until I can touch up the paint in a couple days.

 

Yea im afraid to even look under the vw....I tried my best to wash it down but I know the two cancer spots it had are probably having a rusty feeding frenzy right now

 

It's a bad ass vw. Awesome seeing it close up.

 

promise next trip its either long traveled or replaced with a sxs lol.

 

Long Travel

 

Eleventy horse power.

I was surprised how low it hangs even without getting an extra nipple end for a hose... And I found my factory diff skid is like... squashed some how.

 

I've seen those, I prefer the look and rep of the original Grabber... Call it fanboyism

 

The factory skids give as much protection as a .99 cent store condom. But hey, they certainly are better than nada.

Throwing in the fumoto for ease of oil changes when my Pelfrey skid is in.
Cheers to eleventy more HP.

 

Yeah I know. Actually if there ever comes a time that I need to repaint my rig, I'm going black with matte dark gunmetal bumpers.

 

i have the general grabber at2 in e-rated trim and loved them until this weekend. too stiff for the sand. great on the road and they held up great in big bear but they just spun in the loose stuff

 

you read my mind lol

 

Fyi my fellow Duratrac homie... The duratracs did phenomenal in Pismo sand aired down to 15. Didn't get stuck, pulled a trailer (albeit I only pulled the trailer 300 yards from camp to hard packed shoreline sand) and got through some whoops where I unintentionally caught air. Also a killer night run.

 

I would rethink that. I have them and believe me they are awesome off-road BUt the tire wear is horrible and it's tough to get them to balance. Your down the street from me. Stop by and you'll see what I mean.

 

started at 18psi with very little luck, dropped finally to 12 and managed to move around camp. never took it out in the dunes due to a bout of noballsitis

 

haha yes again, THANK YOU FOR EVERYONE THAT HELPED ...seriously felt like i was not living up to my name. @eon_blue for taking my tool box (that no one needed thank god), @DesertDunes for running into the freeway and grabbing my gear bag that decided it didnt like hanging out on my trailer anymore, @MADSTEEZE for towing me into camp, and @goblue82 for towing my trailer back to the beach, all you guys rock! and im definitely bringing the good hooch at the next meet for you!

 

I hear ya. They've been great for me. Although I'm not into the tires conversation any longer. If someone asks me about mine I tell them about my experiences with them. The tire discussion is like the bump stop discussion: anything is better than factory. Know what I'm saying? Truth is I'm not going to get married to any one particular tire choice. Duratrac doesn't make what size tire I want next so on to the next one, on to the next one.

No-ball-itus? You trailered in that beauty with 2wd. Mucho respect for you, brotha.

 

You had a rogue tool bag as well? Mine went airborne on the whoops where I went... well, airborne. Had no idea it flew out. Thankfully, the homie @stvstoy was behind me and snatched it up.

Everyone acted as a team out there. Respect!
