Colorado B.S. Thread

Twin is going to be faster for sure, but the single I think is fine for 33"ish tires.

 

Don’t forget the single is only 50% duty cycle or somthing like that

 

its a 1/4th flared fitting. only place I found stuff to work was mcguckins hardware in boulder I believe the hose is just a brake line hose if im not mistaken. I need a longer one as well I am assuming you are referring to the 90 degree elbow slee includes is a 3/8 to 1/4th flared fitting.

 

I've had it for a couple years now. Had to remove it for frame replacement and the way I routed it to the bumper it's a little taught. Worth it? mmmm yea

 

Yea I just want the same hose but a little longer.

 

Cool, going single then. And hey, if it's slow for my 33's you suckers just have to wait a little longer for me. Or maybe I will have one of you peeps with the EAF twin fill up my fourth tire

 

ok so I just called slee cause I was curious these are custom made hoses they are grade 4 he mentioned. do not use brake line hose! he told me these are kind of over kill for the application but they picked this hose due to the heat from the compressor and inside the engine bay. they cant order longer sizes due to the cost they custom order them that size and order lots of 100 due to cost. but he mention ARB just came out with some new fittings and hoses that are rated for the compressor and heat!

 

Between meetings but check this out. @CharlieCafe might be able to give you the part list before me.

Looks like ARB lists the CKMA12 at 50% duty cycle. They say the duty cycle time is 30 minutes. That should be enough time to do a full fill up on your own vehicle provided you run 35" tires or less. That is all I'm going to run, don't need the extra EAF points as I also run C02 for EAF bonus.

 

Thanks for the input, but I'm looking for a longer hose to go from the compressor to the quick disconnect I have on the front bumper.

 

Samesies, I've never had mine cut out on my 295s.

 

I've said this many times but I'm sure no one listens to it. We tested my little $40

$105 viair 88p portable compressor kit (12V, 120 psi, forup to 33" tires)

viair 88p against an arb twin. Both had 285/75/16, both from 15-36 psi. The arb was 20-30 seconds faster per wheel. If you don't have an air locker I don't see any reason to get one.

 

my $50 MV50 still fills tires pretty well for the cost.

Last time I was airing back up in a torrential rain which sucked ass and had me wishing that I owned an air compressor that would fill my 31s from 15 to 35 in less than a minute :/

 

I love my little mv50, but I have a air locker for the rear of the 4Runner now.

 

Well technically I don't have the air locker yet it arrives today and I don't have the 4runner yet either I pick it up tomorrow...

 

Figure the people who live there are the best to ask, but what trails do you recommend for a stock taco? I want to go out to colorado and do some camping in the mountains for our honeymoon and to get my wife-to-be talked into buying truck parts. If this is the wrong place to ask, I'll take this over to trails.

 

What time of year are you going to be coming out? That will largely determine the trail suggestions, as we run the gamut between trails that are available from say, May, to October, and others that are only available for 3 or 4 weeks in late summer. And obviously some of them can be run when they're snowy.

 

Late May, early June.

 

Current status:

 

Off the top of my head, I'd say:

- Webster Pass (you can do Red Cone Pass Trail too, but it can be much harder on a stock vehicle). Can be accessed from either Dillon, CO, or Grant, CO. Red Cone can be a bit... daunting if you're afraid of heights, on the descent.

- Bill Moore Lake, outside Empire, CO. Roads aren't too bad, there are bypasses if needed, and gives you an awesome view once you get up top. Snowpack will prevent you from making it all the way to the lake, but the majority of the trail will be melted and there are still tons of great areas to play around in.

- Yankee Hill outside Blackhawk, CO. You can go lose your money after you're done on the trail, at the casino. If you go here, take the "back way" in, on US-6, instead of I-70. It's a really pretty drive through some canyons with a river.
