NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Scored a free Co2 tank

What are people doing for hold downs?

 

Score. And i totally forgot to ask my buddy what size spanner wrench his ADS C/O's use

 

No worries I used a punch, worked great.

 

Nice, what size?

I made a steel bracket that attaches to the cargo rails and has 2 large quickfist mounts on it. Can be a bit of a pain to get the quickfists tight but once they are there it isn't going anywhere.

 

Depending on the size, look at fire extinguisher mounts.

 

Anyone have a gps track for the Whipsaw trail in BC they can share? Either GPX or KML file type will work.

 

That’s a trail i need to do

 

I was thinking maybe 4th of July next year or late summer/early fall trying to plan a trip up to Whipsaw. Looks like it would be fun to make like a slow 2-3 day journey out of it. I haven't been able to find a whole lot of info other than a couple maps and a few picture threads of it though.

 

20lb

Going to find a lockable hold down if such a thing exists

 

Thanks! I'll pass the info onto my coworker.

 

Ahh yeah mine is a 10lb bottle, a 20lb would be a little tougher to mount as easily. Just remember that if you can't mount it vertically you will have to pull it off and set it vertical for a couple minutes before you try to use it, otherwise the liquid CO2 will be at the valve and get into your regulator which at best will foul it up but could cause a major failure and serious injury/damage.

 

do you have any recommendation on a decent regulator and sturdy air line?

 

Either of you guys running a Harrop front locked diff?

 

No

 

I'll get with you on this tonight. I'm about to do a regulator for mine too.

 

I like the looks of the one wheeler offers but it’s over $100

I might just get the set regulator at 150psi. Give my air tools a little more zip

 

I have a quick fist that will fit if you want it

 

Where were you an hour ago before i ordered the wheelers mount?

 

It’s larger than i though It’d be, 315’s for size comparison.

 

dude! I want a nitro bottle that size!
