NW WA Meet / BS Thread

You can just remove sway bar entirely.. I’m able to just disconnect upper arm from spindle and pull it

 

Sway bar is in the garage

 

I don't have one on my truck but I don't like to assume it's been removed from every truck on TW. If I say remove just outer TRE and there's still a sway bar they will still have a problem.

Even easier then, one but for the TRE, 3 at the top on the coilover and one at the bottom. Loosen the coilover bolts while it's still on 4 wheels, then jack the front end and the coilover will drop right out

 

My 10mm has more kills than any other gun i own except my shotguns

 

What suspension are you running?

 

Not sure if anyone answered yet, just now seeing this. Been gone all weekend for my bachelor party.

This is similar to the one I have. I got it from a guy who was advertising on here as Instant Air Supply but it sounds like he isn't doing it anymore.

$63 GTC Direct Gentec 227C-150 Flow Regulator for Light Duty Applications

The fixed pressure regulator keeps it nice and simple for our application. 150 might be a little much if you want to run air tools but most should be able to handle it for limited use.

Also I snapped a picture of the mount I have. When the tank is in there I have it setup with the regulator pointing toward the side so I can access it just fine with the bed fully loaded. Having it at the front of the bed means my 12ft hose can reach all 4 tires from that location as well.

Any reason you dont adjust the driver side preload to compensate for lean?

 

Mule said adjusted it to the point that any mow may.adversely affect the handling. Plus, more preload equals less down travel if I'm correct.

 

I forgot how much fun these were to drive. I detailed my brother's 340i Msport this weekend. Feels fast as my modded C55 AMG and his is bone stock. With just a tune it'll be running low 12s.

One thing the Harrop does it unlocks when you come to a stop and go in reverse but will quickly lock again

 

I've seen a few rattlesnakes in E. Washington. They're very shy, had to look under bushes to find them.

Monthly meet is this Saturday!! Hope to see y'all there!

 

Exactly why I run a ARB.

 

I've never noticed that I had that occur and have used it in similar circumstances to what I've heard can cause that to happen. I think the times when that happening would cause a problem are so rare that it's not really worth worrying about. I find the downsides of an air locker are more of a cause for concern, real hard to trail repair an air line.

 

Airlines are easy to repair, anything internal not so much. That being said, installation is critical! I haven't had an issue with either of my air lockers in the 4-5 years I've been running them. I'm just not a fan of Harrop, and I get some people aren't fans of ARB's. That's ok!

 

No Jon, it's not okay. This is the internet, and we don't take kindly to dissenting opinions around these here parts. The correct response is to talk to anyone who doesn't agree with you as if they are an idiot, and then insult something about them that has nothing to do with the topic.

 

I agree which is why I went with it. Tried and true down under where they do wheel their rigs hard, not baby them like most here in the US.
I installed mine myself and I use CO2 for tires instead of a compressor so the Eaton/Harrop locker made more sense for me but I wouldn’t say it’s better than ARB. Just a little cheaper, in my case, and simpler to set up

 

Random question about the ARB locker (or any air lockers in general I guess): when locked, does it require constant air pressure to stay that way, or does it just need a single burst of air to lock, then another another burst to "turn it off"?

 

Needs constant pneumatic pressure
