Playa Bug (Beach Set-Up)

MDK - 4-7-2012 at 11:45 AM

I finally got the beach set-up sorted out, now it’s in the shop being fitted for a rack to mount to the back of my Durango!
Can’t wait to hit the beach in a few weeks! :wee:

Looks like a work of art to me. Fantastic. :thumbup:

Awesome looking bug! I'm sure there are 100 dibs on it by now but if 100 fail and you ever sell I will step up to the plate for being the 101th offer to buy.

Love all that shine on Popeye's creations! plus the red white and blue on the 4th doesn't hurt the pics today.

Same here, but my very first thought was how Mikey is going to be able to ride the side of the dunes now...:bigok:

When are you going to enter your ride in the custom hot rod show? :lol:
Stay out of the icky stuff, the mud guard looks a bit skinny.
But you will look good, even with icky allover your face. Keep your mouth closed while riding so we can see your pearly whites when you come back to base camp.:bigok:

BEC, Im sorry but I purchased an extra plot next to my grave for this bug :)
heh the pic was taken at Bills machine shop where he is building a transport rack for me, that space would be nice to have (less all the crap :) )
Jim, I found some dunes over here to practice on (Weiser Sand Dunes) I will get some pics, pretty cool place.
Carl, I love the TSG it worked well at sunset beach even though it was make shift with the barrow set-up, it fits alot better with the Beach set-up :)
Jeff, great idea about the Hot Rod show, I might try that :)

Thanks for all the great comments!
