**OHIO WHEELIN' & MEET-UP THREAD**

No sir...hopefully this is the last meet before I do the lift. I didn't feel comfortable tackling the lift myself and getting stuck partway through the install, so I've put it off. If I cleared enough room in the garage to park the truck I'd be all over it but I'm worried I'll leave it incapacitated and not being to put the garage door down.

At this point I'm probably waiting for weather to warm up!

 

If the 3rd gen has the same frame. Then you don't have zerks on your u-joints

 

This forecast is getting shittier though....

 

From the local news:

January 7, 2016

It is all a matter of timing….a sunny day with temperatures in the mid-40s in January is celebrated – but if this were May we were be quite angry. Mild weather persists until falling temperatures on Sunday. Next week will be the coldest week of the winter by far lasting much of the week. About .25” of rain will fall on Friday, with a second round Saturday night into Sunday morning. There could be a very brief period where the rain freezes on roads north of I-70 about daybreak for an hour before temperatures rise tomorrow, so be on the alert for that. Brief wet snow would be the main concern by mid-day Sunday but roads would only be wet with that.

Tonight Clouding over 32
Tomorrow Showers beginning at daybreak, milder 46
Saturday Cloudy and mild with night rain 42/50
Sunday Falling temperatures with brief wet snow 38/34

 

Even more of a reason to go Sunday

 

I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I have a small 120/12v air pump in the truck. I'm thinking lower air pressure may be needed, ha ha.

 

Question is, do you have a deflator to deflate said tires?

 

My pressure guage does.. it's just reeeaaal slow.

 

Whoever wants to deflate can use my ARB.

Note: I doubt I'll be deflating.

 

I have deflators and a pump mounted under the hood. Its just a MV50 and it is typically pretty tired after airing up my 295s. I can bring an electric one along if someone has stock tires...and about 20 minutes to kill, lol

Unless someone had Powertanks or something, most could just air down slightly, or maybe go to Pep Boys and buy a Masterflow for ~$50

 

This is what I do, it's slow but not ridiculous. What slows you down is that you can only do one tire at a time. The deflators are just as slow per tire, but if you're doing 4 at the same time obviously you get done a lot sooner.

I went the pepboys route and am glad that I did. The MasterFlow certainly gets pretty hot airing up 4 33s, but it gets the job done. I have even used it as an air gun with great success. Popped all the pistons outa my new brake calipers no problem!

 

Wait, we are on a new page. Is there anything going on this weekend? What are you guys up to?

 

El oh el MF!

Says the one who posted

 

We can make an exception for year old weather forecasts.

 

Is it big enough to fit 33s??

 

I did. I had to do minor trimming on the cab mount but that's about it. Which that's normal as well for any lift
