I've been on many a work party up there, DNR knows they'll be riders on all the trails, they just have to step aside and let the riders pass. They don't close the trails they work on, they just have to work around the riders.

 

He's right, they usually send the work parties into 2 or 3 different areas and work 4 or so hours.

 

Jayna,

22-11-8 8 paddle Extreme Haulers, gives you alittle more ground clearance ( if you plan on runnning a skid plate ), your quad already sits low enough so the taller tire is not an issue. The Extreme holds up alittle better than regular Haulers on the pavement. With the 22's you'll want to go down 1 front or up 2 rear.

Since I've never ridden that quad, I have no idea of the gearing and having 18's on the rear, stock, maybe 20-10-8 would work better with 1 dropped in the front.

 

Has anybody been to the Ranch House BBQ, Highway 8, just past the Rock Candy Exit heading west?

 

Have you been talking to my brother??? He has been talking about that for a long time. He actually has a motorhome that he started ripping apart but it was all rooted (not sure on the spelling it doesn't look right) so he stopped. That idea is still in his mind though. Also if you go in his house he has shortbus's all over his house. My cousin's call him the short bus driver. He always tells them hey i rather be the driver than the kid that licks the windows. LOL

I don't think I can fit a 22" paddle because of the heelguard clearance. I might have more when I get my nerfs/heelguards installed(If anyone ever gets the dang things in stock) but I think I am only going to be able to get away with 20". The Extremes I have for the Z have held up really well so I suppose I should stick with them. Just having a hard time finding them in 20x8. I don't want to run 10" rims, I will taco them in a second. With 8's, I have the tire wall to bounce off roots or whatever.

Any ideas on 8 vs 9 paddles? I have all kinds of torque the way it is, so I am curious how that will translate to the sand tire with one more or less paddle. I have 9 paddles on my Z, but I just took the tire guys suggestion for my setup at the time so I don't know why.

THANKS!

 

HA you wish!! Neva Mister not under my watch [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Morning PSAR [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Well had an AWSOME BD dinner @ Mom's last night yum yum marinated flank steak on the grill [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Sooooooo what does this kind of Mx practice stuff cost to do?? I'm curious??? Is it every Thurs. still?? OH wait today IS Thurs. guess I'll go to the site haha

 

I agree on the 22' x 11' x 8' size. I don't know if 8 paddles would be to much on the LTR 450 or not but I know from reading dyno graphs their torquey little devils. I know I'll be running 8 paddle haulers on my 700R for racing up the hill and on the flats, personally I like the straight paddles for hill shooting and flat dragging but IMHO for all around playing I think the sandstars are the best choice. I'll bring both with me on my future dune trips.
