Many hotel/motels very close by, many more within approx. 15 - 20 mile, several campgrounds, and cottages for rent. Great family fun environment. I almost always stay at the Silver Sands http://www.silversandsresort.net/. Links to check out whaaazz up: http://www.silverlakesanddunes.com/ and http://www.silverlakesanddunes.net/ rhill, you are mucho welcome. I strongly suggest you make the trip, if you can't make it when a group goes, do it when you can. Always let us know when you plan to go, there are lots of folks on the forum that may like to hook up for some sand action! BTW the drive up the west side of MI is much better than the I-75 parking lot up the middle.

thanks doc olds, i appreciate the offer and input. if my schedule permits, i would love to join some of you degenerates on a trip to the dunes. i've been there on a couple occasions, never drove my own vehicle before though. i worried about the 20 inch rims and how they would react on the sand. it makes sense that they would not react as well as the stocks since the rims are much larger. maybe i should purchase some stocks just in case. i'm sure some if you guys know of some websites where i can purchase some stocks. so where can i get a mod for the flag? just curious.

Tires at 13-15psi, turn OFF the StabiliTrack (do not use in sand), 4 hi lock, let the trans do its thing in D, get a little monentum ....20-25mph should be pleanty, and as soon as you start to go up, mash the gas WOT and hold it until just before the peak, roll over the top in the throttle just enough (may have to feather) to keep moving and avoid a high center until clear, stab the brakes, take in the view.

for the life of me i cannot figure out how to turn off StabiliTrack with a automatic transmission. the only way i cant get it to turn off is to switch to 4 low, then the screen says stabilitrack off. as soon as i select 4 hi on the transfer case, it comes back on.
