That looked like a fun time!
@@dennisholle1005 Always 😎
How did the tuning go after adjusting spring rates!
We took it to Saint Anthony's Idaho and it was awesome! However, there are not many whoops there to test it and perform final adjustments. Unfortunately waiting for cooler weather to test it out in GLAMIS to find out for sure. Can't wait 😁
Thanks for taking us along!

Great infomation! Thanks for the info.
Great editing!
This one took an enormous amount of time to make and I'm truly disappointed in the number of views. Believe it or not some people told me it was too scary.... appreciate you watching!

Your welcome!
Thanks for the video!
Very cool video. Great job!
Thanks for the ride along.
I love the dunes. My son is one of those kids that loves the two wheel thrill. Thank goodness he finally quit riding the tracks and bought a Revenge Racing Predator with an LS and a 2D but he has kept his 450 for the dunes. Fortunately he has never got a helicopter ride out of the dunes and has always been able to ride back to camp. but that thrill has came at a cost for him as well. I wish there were more folks that took the time and documented the equipment and dune experience like you. Keep up the good work. Have you ever thought of doing some content that helps explain to the newbies on techniques to help them experience the dunes more safely?
Cool editing thanks. A comment for the algorithm.
@@dennisholle1005 Much appreciated ‼️
Thanks for the information. Keep up the good work.
@@dennisholle1005 Much appreciated, thanks for watching.
Great information. Thanks for taking the time to share.
I currently have the green light on and it will not go off, even after hitting the on/off button. In fact, nothing happens anymore. The fan does not run, but I suspect this is because it's in auto mode. Does anyone have a fix for this? Thanks
The green light is the 75 degree hold temp light. If that is turned on it will automatically run the fan on and off to try and maintain a temperature of 75 degrees. It should go off by turning the fan off. One thing you can try is to turn the fan on, and if the green light is still on then press the 75 degree button and hold it until a long beep is heard release and then push the on/off switch once and the light and fan should turn off. Otherwise it may be turned on on your remote control. Hope this helps.
@@DougsX5 Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I've tried all of your suggestions and nothing happens. I'm wondering if there is a malfunction with the unit.
@@bmd37289Have you tried taking total power away from the coach and repowering it to see if it resets itself?
@@DougsX5 I have not. Would that have any effect on other systems? How do you do it? Thanks again for your help.
@@bmd37289 You have to down power your whole RV by unplugging it from electric and turning your batteries off. Or you can find the fuse for that circuit and pull the fuse and then reinstall it.
Bugatti of the sand 😳
That's Mad Max type shit
Oh my gosh!!!! That is badass!!!
Thank you great video I’ve got a channel too ~ just started working I had an RV shop less than three months ago because I’m a full timer and there’s just no way to get service so I have decided to get into the industry 😊
That's awesome! Thanks for checking out the video and thanks for the compliment! Working an RV shop while being a full-timer yourself is a fantastic idea. You've definitely got the firsthand experience to understand what customers need.
@@DougsX5 thank you I love that the owners & myself are all of the same mindset, its a great place to work. Can't wait until I can get the Maxxair!
Did you have to adjust the front spring rates at all to solve the issues? What did you end up with out front?!
@@redbeardsflippedodometer7279 No, Did not change the front - spring rates remained 350/450. Keep in mind that sounds stiff however front shock angles are totally different from the rear.
@@DougsX5 it sounds awesome. I work at a shock company and I’m always trying to learn. Especially on vehicles I have zero personal experience on. Sand rails are voodoo magic too me! So I love learning how changes affect things. Some things transfer to oem “prerunners” and some things don’t! This is probably the best video I’ve found on explaining dual rates and finding a good base and how to adjust rates!!!
@@redbeardsflippedodometer7279 Stay tuned in as I will have to wait until next season to final tune through the whoops. Thank you for the compliment on the video!
Thanks for sharing a quality product! ps I LOVE the mic =)
You're welcome, and the mic definitely adds to the video. Thanks for watching!
You are right worst thing for trailer tires is being outside uncovered. I just got done putting up new building so I can keep my trailer inside and can put new tires on it. Dune season just started i"m in Michigan Silver Lake . Get out of the heat come on and ride.
@@steve-lp8tl Oh how I would love to! Never been there but it's on my list. Congratulations on the new building!
Yes sir f*** around and find out.
this was the ride my car was overheating could not build boost... but we fixed the problem on the next ride.
@@krispybizkits7389 Boost or no boost your car gets it!
Did you see it leave the line ..😮😅😂
Heck yea! Good video. I may have installed my belt wrong. Only spun the alternator backwards 🤷🏻♂️
i thought for sure you were turning boast up.
😂 I kinda already did that, future video to come.
Awesome run Josh!!!
Why are the front wheels smooth and the rear ones treaded?
Great question, to help the vehicle float in sand and prevent the front end from digging in while turning or accelerating plus tires with tread throw sand in your face.
@@DougsX5 Oh I would've never guessed that, thanks for letting me know!
So Fassssssssst and wicked!!!
Do you have any more info on how that winch was set up?
No not really. Just at the very end of the video you see where I show how it's mounted underneath there with a quick camera shot.
I would love to do this
Is this the new "Swing set" jump?
No, this is over by Sunset.
Saint Anthony is the geatest place in the whole wide world 🙌🏻 🌎 Keep these videos comin'
It is definitely Awesome 😎. More Videos on the way!
No bigger thrill than ripping a dirt bike through the dunes.
Truth 👏
Josh is such a great rider!
Awesome video! Good run on the bike Josh. Speeds were a lot faster than it looks on the video. Great trip Doug and thanks for the footage! Can't wait for next season! !
Lol, car guys always ask bikes if they can keep up.......looks like he hasn't even gotten out of 3rd gear and has zero issue keeping pace😅😅
He's an awesome rider and was hitting speeds of 80+ coming out of or entering some of the transitions. The camera never does the ride justice!
We don’t ask him if he can keep up. He ALWAYS keeps up. That boy can ride!!!!
And never seems to get tiered😂@@lincforeman-zw9vx
Very good tutorial. Nicely done. I'd love to be able to turn off the fan and NOT have the lid close every time. I realize I can open the lid again (leaving the fan off), but there doesn't seem to be a way around this extra step. Wanting to turn off the fan and NOT closing the lid is something I do often. Am I missing something? (MaxxFan Deluxe 7500K)
Thanks for the kind words about the tutorial! Unfortunately, on the MaxxFan Deluxe 7500K, there isn't a built-in way to turn off the fan and leave the lid open. The thermostat and fan are powered together so if you turn off the fan the lid will close, unfortunately the closing mechanism is linked to the fan operation. Manual is the only way.
@@DougsX5 Thanks for the quick reply. I understand the explanation. It seems MaxxFan didn't think that one through. So often we stop needing the fan (e. g., after cooking or showering) but want to leave the lid open. Requiring the user to reopen the lid as an extra step is noisy and really should be unnecessary. Alas. Again, thanks.
Sand in the motor.....yay. sic being 4x4
Wow great job bud… Fun ride!! Killing me.. going through sand withdrawals at the moment 😂
Much appreciated! I always think I'm ready for a break at the end of the season, but then a couple weeks later I'm going through withdrawals like you! 😆
Sand drags are awesome. The WMSD U.S. Sand Nationals in West Michigan is bad ass! I love to watch so much power…
I was really surprised to see this dragster at Glamis.
That trip is a good time!
Full of excitement for sure!
When he went backwards at first I couldn’t help but chuckle … Then Realised it was neither mistake nor troll and I feel really stupid now 😂
next type hotrod+paddlebuggy ??
Or dragster + paddle buggy
Does sand not get in the blower do y’all have a filter ? I’m not super informed on these but I’d imagine Sand wouldn’t be good for the engine
What looks like purple butterfly valves I believe are purple filters as they don't appear to move.
@@DougsX5 those are not filters. there are no filters on this. there is no possibility to place filters behind that butterfly valve. then that super charger would eat them
@@WB32.. yeah, that makes sense so I guess he's sucking sand and rebuilding the engine quite often.
It's gonna get rebuilt either way
@@DougsX5 That's right, that makes it fun💪🏼
What kind of Tom fuckery is that. I’ve never seen a legit dragster setup for sand….. we need more content

Wheel speed doesn’t equal ground speed
And your not looking at wheel speed in the video, that is off the Lowrance GPS and equals SOG as displayed (Speed Over Ground). Thanks for watching!
Hahahaha. He does not know! It’s gps speed. Still could be wrong… but it’s not.
