Hahaha well welcome and thanks for watching! That's awesome. I couldn't imagine living that close to Dumont. And I thought we were spoiled being only 2 hrs away.

@LiveLikePete Hell yeah, no prob!!! Man I miss those days!! Now days its hard to do anything with this stupid lung disease I have. Would love to get on a 2 stroke and blast around the dunes again 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks!

Thank you! I'm loving it.

🤣 that would never happen

Thanks!

Thanks man!

I appreciate that. Yeah it was crazy cloudy and stormy that weekend. Not great for showing the new car so much 😄 but great for running the dunes and reading the terrain.

Thank you. I appreciate the feedback. It's motivation to keep posting new content. 🤟

@@LiveLikePete hell yeah i found ur channel a few months ago as soon as the St anthony dune life ended lol, but i binged watched ton of ur old videos, me and my dad used to go duning in our san rail but sadly we had to move and sold it, so its nostalgia watching these vids

Thanks! Most of these cars are at least that old. They're dinosaurs but still dune better than a sxs, IMO. 🤟

Thanks. Yeah I guess it was a bit overdue. I just haven't had the time and motivation to create any new content lately. I'm slowly starting to feel it again though. 👍

Thank you Jim. I'll try to keep it going! 👊

Much appreciated!

Thanks! I'm pretty stoked about it.

Thanks bud! Yeah, you're slacking too. 😂 You need to come link up with us at Dumont. We're having an end of season Buggy Roundup Easter weekend. You in?

Would love to but doesn’t look like we can. We’ve got a big trip out of the country mid April. If it looks doable I’ll hit you up.

@@TheOffRoadAdventureChannel ok sounds good. We're also probably going the first weekend in March. Will know in a few weeks for sure. Welcome to join us that weekend as well. 👍

Thank you Vic. 👊

Really appreciate that! I will try to take less of a break next time. 😄 I'm loving the new car and plan to make some more videos.

I already do that. It's still way too wide.

Thank you!

They're both full size cars. 😄 Or do you mean 2 seaters? But both 2 seat DD & well set up Tech 3s are pretty rare to find these days. They go quick too when they go up for sale.

I knew they were normal size on the width but figured they were alot less in length. basically no LS v8 and 4 seats would seem to be alot shorter. They are very rare , last tech 3 i found for sale was in 2020 i believe. 1/2 our group has both sxs and sand car. The SCU honda powered is only one that never breaks , even the brand new tatum w/ 1400 hp destroyed his tranny in nov.

Thanks!

Nice! Have a great trip. 🤟

When you coming back out to join us??

Thanks. Check out some other ones on my channel. I just threw this one together pretty quickly.

Hey Randy! I always loved Wade's DD car. How's he doing? I haven't seen him at Dumont in a while...or you for that matter!

he got old in the last year. he just visited me in kingman 2 days ago. he hasn't been to dumont in 3 years. we did go to st anthony a year n a half ago. i will see if i can get him to go soon.

when i moved it took all i had to git out of calipornia. i had no time or money. i got my 4000 sq ft shop built, and have recovered since. you'll see me there soon, i hope.

@@randywellman6784 it would be great to see you guys. Come out Easter weekend for our next buggy roundup. We're all getting old. 😄 Gotta make the most out of our time. 👍

@@randywellman6784 good to hear you gut out. I couldn't imagine living in CA! 😂

For sure! I'd love to update it with a full dash along with something like that and get rid of the whole console.

💯 Thanks buddy

I really doubt it but thanks!!

No

No not yet. I actually tried but totally messed up and had it on photo mode instead of video. So it didn't even record anything. 🤦‍♂️🤣 It requires a lot of time, effort and patience which I have had zero of lately. 😄 I do want to see it for myself so I'll try to get some next trip out.

Cooling system? Aluminum radiator with two fans. No intercooler if that's what you mean. I plan to probably add one eventually though. Cheap, and easy horsepower.

@LiveLikePete Is the radiator is directly behind the seat under that panel?

@@thebinderbuilder yes, both the radiator and gas tank are under there.

J35 (3.5L)

@@LiveLikePete thanks

Not sure I know what you mean by stand alone ECU. The fuel enrichment on my Tech 3 was a little different setup with a separate module and additional injectors. This car was set up by Karl at VTech with an FMU.

@@LiveLikePete Sounds like both cars are a modified stock ECU. A Stand alone ECU is aftermarket ECU that can run any engine like a link, AEM stinger ect. With a stand alone ECU it manages the fuel and timing (no FMU) and can be dyno tuned. The FMU setup works but its not the best and generally makes the timing pretty advanced, however racegas protects the engine and Stand alone you can probably run alittle less octane. I say if it ain't broke don't fix it. Pour some race gas in the tank and dune!!

@@Thriver106 ahh gotcha. Yeah, I don't mess with any of that. This car and my old Tech 3 are simple, old-school setups that have been run like that since the 2000's. They make 400+ HP and always run on race gas. They are dependable, great running machines. Thanks for the clarification. So many different terms are always being thrown around. I never know what people are referring to. lol

Nah, not those. They were robbing HP. 😂
