I'm switching my status to 'maybe' and I just want to say for the record, that I dont think its a great idea to go there mem. weekend from what I hear. I may still go, but I'm undecided for the time being.

if someone can suggest a better date go ahead, we can start a list for both and see which has a better turn out. I just started this one to get the ball rolling

Ah you'll be fine stock. Come out and wheel with us...you'll have more fun showing up than sitting at home!! Don't let tires be the deciding factor...

and if you really dont want to drive out there Im sure someone will have room in the back seat

Stumpjumper09, I know from personal experence stock tires (worn) will do fine!! You will need to lower tire press. like every one else to around 8psi, to get around in the sand. :wink:

Last time I was there, there were a lot of stock trucks and jeeps driveing on stock tires going up some big dunes !!!

stumpjumper_09 · **Posted:** Thu Mar 19, 2009 8:58 am

I'm thinking I'll probably be there. You guys are right I would rather go get stuck than be stuck at home. Gonna be kinda like 4 wheelin back home minus the mud, trees, hills, ok its gonna be totally different.......

I could have been told wrong or it may have changed but I was told you can get them at the entrance of the park. I'm sure its on the web somewhere for some quick clarification...

jerbacher · **Posted:** Thu Mar 19, 2009 11:02 am

heres some info. i dont have time to read it right now though... im at work :wink:

Looks like you need a state park permit which is $29 annual for non resident available at the park entrance. Also an ORV sticker that is $16.25 available at large sporting goods stores, ATV sales, and online. If you don't want to take your jeep on the dunes you do not need the ORV sticker.
(Not very likely that anyone is gonna do that)

Found this site, lays out all the rules and requirements for park/dunes entry. Thought it might be helpful for those planning on coming.

geez, that seems like a lot of different permits/passes. anyone know where I can get a dune flag around here? i have one, but it mounts on the back and is triangular (because its a bicycle flag :lol:

)

You can pick up a flag pretty much anywhere in Silver Lake. Flags need to mounted in front. If you don't have a front mount, there are a couple of shops that can install one. I had mine hooked up to the passenger side tow hook.

well, i'd like to come up with my own nifty mount before hand, but need to know how the flag will attach if i'm to get one at silver lake. maybe i'll just pop in a local 4x4 shop here and see whats what

This old thread might give you some ideas: flag mounts

stumpjumper_09 · **Posted:** Sun Mar 22, 2009 8:10 pm

Good and bad news for me about the trip. I was worried about tires. Well I had a blow while moving to Michigan. The good news is that my wife to be's uncle works for a very large tire company and thinks that he has some BFG AT KO's used that I can get for little to no cost!!!!! How awesome is that????????????
