Send me info for the contractor!

 

You need concrete @Coop68 ?

 

Yeah i been looking at putting in a side walk to the back yard roughly 3-4’ wide.

 

What did you go with? I have seen a few that looked cool on youtube (but I know nothing about welding but hoping to change that soon).

 

Yeah, some of them are huge! Who makes it?

 

I think it's about time for me to buy an air compressor. Not looking too big (ARB) yet. Does anyone have any recommendations on a cheaper one they like? I see this

$91 Viair 88P Portable Compressor Kit (12V, 120 Psi, Forup to 33" Tires)

Viair 88P in the discussed section below that looks pretty appealing but for all I know people added it to the thread based off a bad experience

 

Trail report from Webster Pass/ Red Cone

 

It's not the size that matters...



This is what @Sub-Zero uses for his 37s....I will never get tired of reposting this pic.

 

I've had a masterflow tsunami (the popular red one that goes by another name as well) and it's been great for years but is struggling now that I've jumped to 35s

 

I use my $30 one from Harbor Freight for now. Works well enough, gets hot as well.

 

There are some good deals a few times a year on ARB otherwise the others work and with duty cycle (should rest it after each tire) get very hot but otherwise will get you the air you need. Everyone gets burnt on those little guys, Heck I never owned one and both myself & Barley got burnt on buddies

 

Does he just setup camp and stay the night while he waits? He does have supabig tires after all

 

I went with a VIAIR 450P for the 100% duty cycle for my tires (have a separate antique ARB for the lockers). Yep, it's pricey but not ARB dual compressor pricey. This replaced one of those MasterFlow red air compressors which were (are?) so popular. That lasted about 10 years, I think, before dying. Decided to dig a bit deeper into the wallet for a nicer one... but I can't stomach the price of the dual ARB, even if it is all that and a bag of chips.

 

Love mine, I have a fab-block, couple wings, and some fab-squares from them.

 

Sick of the jack wagon idiots on I25! This asshat at 4:15 am in the construction zone decided to swerve right in front of me to pass a truck. What sucks is he overshot and kicked a rock up the size between a marble and ping pong ball smack dab in the windshield in my line of sight. To top it off I went two friggin miles with him doing the same speed as the 18wheeler. Cars were backed up behind us way back.

Needless to say he got the “you’re number 1” sign from me and several others.

Now I have to get a kit and fix the damn chip.

At least it’s the weekend and will work on some electrical wiring for lights and stuff....

 

Thanks to USAA!

Windshield will be repaired tomorrow morning!!!!!

 

Ok..... decision made.

Not going 37s...sticking with 35s. Sorry @MO Tacoma but we have no need yet.

Now the long research continues.....

 

The one nice thing is you'll be going to 5.29s which sets you up for 37s in the future. Haha! Those 2" require a lot more cutting to fit. It's a good choice. Count me in for helping with the installation.

 

I've only used that thing that one time lol. Oba is on the list
