This is another buddy of mine that crashed off the top of Test Hill. You can see the wet sand behind him about 20 feet. That's where he landed and proceeded to flip end over end twice.

Nice pics and real nice Jimmy!! How does the Jimmy do in the dunes? I am building mine that will see alot of Glamis.

It does great!!!! The new 468 BBC has a ton of torque. I run the tires about 10 psi. It gets a little rough sometimes, but that's the fun part. I broke the front driveshaft that Sat. morning. At the bottom of Test Hill there was some whoops, I got the front end bouncing too much. I guess that was the weakest link.

Awesome pics dude! Now lets get that video loaded.

Man, that looks like a lot of fun. I spent a lot of time on the Oregon Sand dunes back in the 80's when I was in high school (I'm from Coos Bay). Those pics look a lot like the Oregon dunes. I've always wanted to take a Blazer down there on one of the big weekends and take my family out to see the dunes. I don't think my current Blazer would be up for much more than simple sight seeing though.

Have you ever run paddles on your Blazer?

Re: Silver Lake Sand Dunes, MI (PICS)
 

Hey that is a bad a*#s Jimmy you got there! I like the stock trim & look with the big tires.

Re: Silver Lake Sand Dunes, MI (PICS)
 

No, I've never ran paddles before. I've seen guys out there that have.. Most of the time there rear quarters are just shiny steel on the bottom. It looks like fun though, you could go anywhere in 2-wheel drive.

Re: Silver Lake Sand Dunes, MI (PICS)
 

Really nice Blazer, I would love to see some pics of it in the sand.

We go to Dumont dunes when we can which is only an hour away from us.

I know this sounds crazy, but I don't have any pics of the Jimmy in the sand except the one already posted at the top of Test Hill. That Thurs. and Fri. my wife and the others wives had the Jimmy cruising around while I rode with the boys on our quads.
Sat. morning was my day to play and I broke the driveshaft the 1st attempt up Test Hill. I still think my wife must of been raggin' the ol' girl. So, we drove out to the beach in 2wd and just hung out there. That is also a cool place to hang out, because everyone cruises up and down the shore line (probably about a mile long).
If anyone has NEVER been to the dunes, it's awesome place to be, especially on holiday weekends. There are literally thousands of trucks, sand rails, quads, dirt bikes, homemade creations, anything and everything. Gets me excited just talking about it.
Chevyman63 is trying to organize at trip this summer for anyone willing to make the adventure. I STRONGLY recommend trying it. You don't have to rag on your ride, it's cool just watching. IT'S A BLAST!!!!!!!
