Hello all... I dont know if it is just me, but I have seen a TON of new posts about the Baja Dune 150 popping up lately, especially since the introduction of the new model by BMS... So.... This is just an attempt to see how many Baja Dune 150's are on here!!!!

Sound off if you have a Dune 150, please try to include a PIC ---year--- and mods if applicable!

I'll start:

Mods in sig and keep growing!!!

You know I don't have one, but you should check out the post of with the Poll Question about which buggy you own.. That may tell you what you're after.. Or you can just go the lazy way and ask the question over again...

I know what you're thinking... Hey here's a way to compile all the contact info for the fellow BJ 150 owners...

I bet you end up with a lot more in 6 months....

i did check that... a bunch of people asking q's arent registered on that thread!!! So I figure, hey, make it a new post and see who answers the call!!! hehehe

Yep still got it:



Mods I can recall:
Arctic Cat shocks in front
Blaster shocks in rear
Stock carb with several mods including plunger primer
Uni filter, Outerwears prefilter, "redneck" intake pipe
Koso variator, 9gm rollers
HiT clutch
39 tooth sprocket
1500 torque spring
Reverse housing strut
Twister aluminum silencer
22x11x8 Mudlites rear on Douglas Red Label aluminum wheels
Warn 1500 winch & Amsteel synthetic rope
Fenders (Rubbermaid)
Mirror
4-point harnesses
EBC sintered brake pads
LED taillight bar
Gauges: Speedo, tach, volts
GPS mount
Longacre padded aluminum buggy steering wheel

One problem with that poll is you can only vote once. I'm still listed as having the Yerf.

You're an admin, you can't "fix" it? That means the YDog has been counted twice, because I voted as well. So you can only post one buggy... I guess it keeps people from cheating.

guy, what bag is that you have on your rear rack? I've been looking for a bag to go on my buggy and have had a hard time finding one that will fit as I don't have a full rack like most of the buggies. Looks like the dune has about the same amount of space as mine does.

Not to be a stinker racemybuick but the Costco kart is not a Dune 150 it is a Reaction 150. My owner's manual says so and here is an email from Karl at Baja:

It’s the new version of the Reaction. Its basically an early release of the product.

I had been emailing back and forth with Karl for a couple of weeks questioniong him about this kart before I committed to buying it as it did not look like any of the karts on their website. I didn't want to be stuck with something I wasn't going to be able to get parts for. He assured me that it would not be an issue.

I do believe, though, that the Dune 150 is a design that should be improved upon as it looks like a devilville of a nice kart. A beefier long travel front suspension would be the ticket. The new Reaction 150 has a nice front suspension but it is limited by poor brake master cylinder placement which required bars that are located between the driver's side a-arms. I am already trying to think of a way to relocate the master cylinder in order to remove the offending bars which would then allow the suspension the freedom to be a long travel suspension.

That's how it looked the day before I left for BuggyBash06. This is how it looked the next day:
