Glamis - Huge Dune Roosting with the SxSs and Sand Cars

[swamp2]

Hit Glamis yesterday with my son. Have been about a half dozen times with multiple rigs and have also rented SxSs there. Joined by my buddy in his F-150 Raptor.

Ran 11 psi. Probably just a hair soft for the high speed stuff.

Finally getting full, tuned (FP Tune) power as I ran some ethanol blend to get above our crappy 91 octane.

That's right near the lip of a huge steep dune face. You'd feel like rolling should you lose momentum and slow or stop. It's always a challenge to capture the scale of things out there.

Made it out to the famous swing set (the long and hard way through some huge, sketchy dunes)

There were precisely zero street trucks out there. Just too much for most.

My twinsie.

About 2 feet of travel anyone???

With a side of blown V8??

My buddy bottomed hard on a flat to climb transition at speed and despite it being just soft sand, if completely grabbed, tore and folded his factory skid plate in half.

The full berm shot. My buddy jumped out of the way thinking I was going to absolutely take him out.

Freaking awesome! Thanks for sharing - living in NY, I’ll have to live vicariously through through your pics & vid!

Looks like a great time

That video was sick… better captures the scale and made the raptor look like a toy truck

Love Glamis, but have never taken my Bronco or Raptor there. Just X3s, dirt bikes and quads. Great pics, thanks for sharing.

Made it out there this weekend too, had to call it quits early though because we discovered the passenger rear shock was loose, tightened it back up as best we could but likely under factory spec still. But prior to that my Wildtrack was ripping through dunes with ease, I can only imagine how easy that Braptor held its own.

Nice. I'm going to be there in February just before KOH as part of a long road trip. Getting very excited!

Is that 11 PSI with beadlocks? I have wondered how low I can go in the Braptor without messing with the beadlock rings.

Yes, KMC beadlocks. These can't be run with beauty rings .

My buddy with beauty rings ran 12R, 14F.

Awesome shots, looks like so much fun!
