NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I ordered this guy, cheap, read a review that it works very good for low pressure:

This one is also on my wishlist right now:

$103 Moroso - 89574 TIRE GAUGE, 0-15 PSI, DIGITAL,BACKLIT

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005V294OU...TF8&colid=2KGUDUL886CG0&coliid=I3HM6TCA6WRC0C

I don't really need a 0-200psi gauge on my inflation gun so why not just replace it with a 0-60?

 

Yeah i wouldn't sipe a mud terrain, but if you do make sure they go really shallow. Had my last set siped and they did it too deep and all the off-roading and gravel roads just ripped chunks off at a time.

 

@Greddy is this what you've been waiting for? Msrp is $553! Ouch.

 

Yes! but that's a lot for plastic....

 

$499 at wheelers

 

Awk... that thing looks bloated, just like the price tag.

 

We can have a gauge-off!

 

... $80+ time...

 

Well, if I'm gonna keep running with you people... Guess I better get a CB, huh?

So, it'll be here tomorrow. Isn't one day Amazon Prime cool?

 

Is there still room for 1 more? I think I have a buddy that would like to join us.

EDIT: Would definitely like to join us.

 

I might be up for joining too. Mark me as a maybe. Im trying to work some overtime so not sure if ill be working or not.

Which CB did ya get?

 

$90 Midland 75-822 Handheld CB Radio & Mobile CB Radio – Walkie Talkie with 40 Channels, NOAA Weather Alerts, Long Range, Compatible with CB Antennas

Interesting. Im curious how well itll work

 

I also have an antenna coming for it. Idea is to have a decent mobile in the truck and a portable when I get out. Never find out if you don't try, eh? Anyone have one of those fancy swr meters?

 

I do have a SWR meter. I know a couple other people do as well.

Ive actually wanted to try the portable ones out and see how they do. If it works well I might pick up one or two to have when "caravaning" with friends/parents

 

I have one of these tucked away but I have never been able to tune my set-up to a level where I am happy with it. I have very little experience with radio equipment though.

I've always just used radios from work, so this whole cb thing is new to me. Kinda sounds like a 5w radio is a 5w radio... The things that make a difference are antenna tuning and placement. If that's the case with this thing, then win!

 

That looks dang similar to the one i have.

 

The snow run will be Saturday since the Seahawks play Sunday, hoping they still play next week.. Sorry @twalchlii1 but ill correct it back to Sunday if a tragedy happens this weekend. @JimSnell what vehicle does your buddy have?
