Re: Manx 2 Alaska 2016

Brian, I think I may have one or two possible pictures too. Joe, I think you should submit this picture for the calendar: http://www.debrouillard.ca/ph/Dune%20Buggy/2016/Trips/Alaska/BrokenSpring/broken%20spring-3.jpg That is my hands holding the broken spring. I think Vincent took the picture, so,...

I'm counting on it! Thanks for posting about the valve reliefs in the pistons. That's a great idea.

Re: Manx 2 Alaska 2016

Wow! I did follow along as you guys traveled, but since I've finished up all my projects at my current job, and am just waiting out the week, I just went through and re-read the entire trip again. I'm amazed at how beautiful everything is, and how wonderful the adventure had to have been. I'm hoping...

Re: 2016 Calendar Photo Credits

Thanks for updating this Bud! I don't know who's in charge of this calendar thing, but he's certainly been slacking! I appreciate you doing this.

Re: Manx 2 Alaska 2016

Amazing photos, and I'm enjoying this just as much as the ECVW trips from the last couple of years. Stunning scenery, and I'm sure it's even more amazing in person.

Re: Scarlett Gets A Makeover!

So, after several months of waiting, the roll cage is complete. I'll be picking it up tonight, and can't wait to see how it looks. I'll share some pictures tomorrow.

Posting this for Chris South while he looks into getting his account password back: "3 buggy's on the beach was taken in July last summer in OBX. It was Scott Jackle in Pumpkin along with Dave Gregitis and I. It was like a lite version of MOTB in July. That picture also just received the Applet...

Re: 2016 Calendar Photo Credits

Time for some updates on the June Calendar pictures. I recognize some of them, but not all. It does look like they are all OBX pictures. Thanks for the reminder Calvin! Upper left picture was from Kieth Dusharme, upper right was from Tim Byrnes, and bottom was from Chris South. I'll nudge them on t...

Re: Possible Sidewinder Slip joint leak solution?

Vincent, Thanks for loaning me the tool this weekend. I'll be getting to this very soon, but had a couple of questions: 1. Is the video you made on the side you said was more tight than the other? 2. Without having mine available at the moment, and no way to measure, is there any measurements you to...

Re: First Build thread of 2015 and of the new Forum - Lorett

Great buggy pictures and view of the Lake Murray. I am wondering where you and Jeff were at for the pictures. When I look down the lake from the front of my house I can see the damn six miles away. If I knew how to attach a photo I would show you a picture of my manx and in the back ground bomb isl...

Re: 2016 Calendar Photo Credits

That's a great story Timothy! Tanya and I had a similar experience, but I'll save my story for September. This month's credit goes out to Jon Bickford, an avid collector and competitor. Somehow we both seem to find the same interest in buggies, but he usually wins out on the purchase. Lol.

Re: Scarlett Gets A Makeover!

Finally firmed up a date with the cage builder. Right now, she's supposed to get dropped off on May 8th, but it's our third attempt at scheduling. He's an avid rail buggy builder, who has a full machine shop at his house, and I've seen a bunch of his work. He actually bought the 4 seater sandrail I ...

Re: Scarlett Gets A Makeover!

And before you ask, I have absolutely no idea of why I purchased it, except that it appealed to me in a big way. For now, it resides in the trailer, as there is absolutely zero room anywhere else for it.
