Fun in the Sand Dunes

[alradco]

We're down in the sand dunes for new years weekend. There's some really nice superduty trucks out here. Just thought I would post some pics and videos for those that are in to it.. I pull a 38ft toyhauler and got in without issue. Truck did great and we drove anywhere we wanted. We also had to pull in a buddy with a nice 12v Cummins F350 only because he still has just 2wd right now...but

There's still one hell of a feeling when Im pulling a truck that's hooked up to a 37ft trailer, and pulling them both like nothin

Anyway. Hope you guys like.

how high did you have to lift your camper to fit your truck?

 

[MINK]

Awesome - looks like a blast!

Glamis?

Looks like a lot of fun

The trailer has flipped axles and had to be lifted another 8".

We had a great time. I have a few videos to post up of some trucks jumping. Also had to yank out my buddy with his trailer burried and have that on video.

how did you manage to lift that trailer another 8" after doing the axle flip?

8"x2" Rectangular tubing would be my guess.

Sweet looking setup...bet its a top heavy bastard though!

Figured it was Pismo, can pretty much get anywhere in glamis towing a trailer unless you go into the deep washes.

How was the weather in Pismo? We were there Dec 7-9 and it was 68-69degrees with barley any wind. The best part though was that there was only about 20-25 other camps out there. Smooth dunes is what its about.

That's exactly how. Also added gussets, and cross bracing over each axle.

Our timing wasn't nearly as good. It had rained the day before we arrived and one of the nights. So really no smooth sand and nights were pretty cold. Still had a great time with kids and family. We'll be going to Dumont for Pres. Day next month.

Probably is but I can't tell. Tows great.

I'll upload some of the vids and pics tomorrow. Been working a lot since we got back.

Damn must be nice. Our dunes won't open up till spring.

I was going to guess pismo when looking at your truck on pg.1, it's the only dunes I see people caution taping their camps.

Haha, ours are year round.

Dang that is a pretty sweet setup.


What are the specs on the truck though, lift and tires. Also do you know the overall height on the trailer after doing all the work?
