So I took it up to Silver Lake today, which if you are ever in western Michigan give it a go, it's the only ORV sand dune area east of the Mississippi river, and its pretty fun.



Anyway, the car did alright, if I was keeping it there are definitely some things I would change, to start with I'd be putting pinned castle nuts on the control arms...

Fortunately it wasn't real busy out there today, and I was able to walk my tracks until I found the nut.



I moved it before I took this picture as I didn't want to lose it forever. It was buried in the sand about 4 inches to the left of the tire track, with just one facet of the hex exposed.



I didn't have any tools on the dunes with me, left everything in my truck in the parking lot, so I threaded it on as tight as I could with my fingers and drove slowly and with as few turns as possible off the dunes. I had to stop once along the way to get out and tighten it again, but we made it. Now I just need to vacuum about 50 pounds of sand out of the thing.
