209 TACOS - B/S and shenanigans

LOL, I've never even heard of beads until just now. Had to look it up. so, probably balanced.

 

Beads don't help with balance til about 40 mph. They don't work too well at slow speeds.

 

@TOP TACO @foxrcing07

Should I order the Axle seal with the ECGS Bushing? Also is the U-bolt flip kit something that I should be looking at?

Edit: Also also am I going to need to replace the factory bumpstops?

 

Get the seal just in case it gets damaged upon removal. I was able to re-use mine. But its recommended to replace it.

 

Haven't done the flip kit yet, so cant speak to it. I think you have to replace the rear bump stops if you do flip...the fronts I believe should be fine with your lift...Can someone else confirm? never dealt with FOX personally

 

Ok ECGS bushing ordered.

I was looking at this:

 

Fuck it! Might as well while everything is apart.

 

It's only money right?

 

Can't take it with you when you kick the bucket!

 

I did the U-bolt flip, just helps with ground clearance




but... it's also easy to do down the road later no jack or anything special required to install

 

I've been screwing around with this the last couple days. I'm trying to convert and old soda keg into a shower/pressurized water supply for camping. I plati dipped it yesterday and rigged up a schrader valve with hose clamps to the gas in line so I can pressurize it with a bike pump. Running a test today to see how hot it gets in the sun. So far the water went in at 8:50 and 52 degrees from the hose. Last check at 10:50 it was 67 degrees. Still trying to figure out what to do with the output valve as the water flow leaves a lot to be desired.

 

You will never get good flow. The dip tube in a corny keg is too small.

 

I was thinking of replacing the whole valve and dip tube with something a little more robust.

 

Looking like Sunday might be my best chance to get the winch installed.

Bumps are only required if you do the ubolt flip, you run stock bumps if needed. The ubolt flip is not really needed unless you want more clearance at the ubolt location on the axle.


Edit: they are nice since stock blows ass.

 

I’ll trade you a 1/2 barrel keg for that corney keg. Might get better flow? Also 15 gallons

 

Thanks, but I have a few already. I thought about using one, but they are just too big to lug around. I have two 10 gallon corny's as well but those are too precious to use for something like this. Like 10 years ago or so I bought an older guys entire home brewing set up, got an amazing 3 keggle stand that he had built him self with a built in counterflow chiller and water filter, 15 or so 5 gallon corny's, 2 10 gallon corny's, 3 half barrels that he had used for fermenting a load of regulators and all kinds of misc. equipment. I moved a few times to places I couldn't bring it with me so it sat in storage, and then when I finally got a place where I could use it I had to take some medication that I couldn't drink while I was on .

 

I have been thinking about modifying a corny keg as well. We shall see. Basically indestructible. I thought about drilling a lid and adding a straight 3/8" downtube.

 

So do you still have all that stuff? Sounds like a pretty good set up.

I’m finally moving out of my tiny house to a bigger place and I want to start expanding a little on my Homebrew set up. I currently do BIAB and now I want to build an electric RIM system for it. Should be and fun project.

 

Most of it yeah, I think I may have lost a box of parts in a move but nothing too expensive. I really need to get it cleaned up and back in working order.

Heres the brew stand before the last time it got moved.

 

Just finished charging my sway-a-ways
@CalTacoma09 setup is functional

The tank was from an AC contractor even came with 1000PSI
