spike Member Registered: 28/12/00 Posts: 318 Loc: North Bend, OR	I was playing in the dunes last night with some friends and I ended up with all four tires off the ground a few times. Is there anything, mechanically, that I should be worried about? I'll be getting new shocks in a month or so, but anything other than that? ------------------ '01 SE Just Blue 4x4 -PNWX member- _________________________ '01 SE Just Blue 4x4 -PNWX member-

irsa76 Member Registered: 02/04/01 Posts: 163 Loc: Queanbeyan Australia	Watch the airbags! Toyota made the mistake of having airbags in the Rav when they lauched them here years ago and every car equipped with one popped them when low level flying. This was at the media release. The Toyota motorsport guy, a mate of mine, told me some journos where getting 6' under the Ravs on the dunes. The total damage was out of 15 cars, 6 with airbags, 5 burst tires, 10 blown airbags, 1 lunched engine, 4 blown trannies and 2 totaled cars. ------------------ wish I could get an X here! _________________________ Datsun 720, Grandaddy of the Xterra!
