Figured I'd pick it up and give it a try. So far quite like it.

 

You dinnit even "like" his post...if I were him I'd tell ya to self flagellate and score meself a hot deal on a hi-lift

But that's just me, and prolly why you dinnit involve me on the transaction. Shame really, cuz I drive past both your houses twice a week, and you would have had it in your greasy fish slime scaled hands right now...as long as you liked my post.

Otherwise...YOINK!

 

If I like your post can I have it?

 

I dont have it...

Kid Bruke playing coy. He knows there's stipulations when asking favours...

Id wager that he does not have possession either. I'd propose honkonbobo with an offer t'wer I you. If you're successful, I'd hump it to GTA for you...for a like

 

I fucked up didnt I

 

Damn i forgot about that this year. I hear it's a good event.
Rays place is pretty fun too, but u can do all the trails in a couple hours. Scotch line is like 5 min away though so you don't even need to air up.

 

Anyone interested in a Bancroft Fall Colour Run on Saturday September 28th? Full day route of mainly forest access roads and powerline trails. Very little pavement. Easy enough for stock vehicles but with enough 4 low trails to keep it interesting.


Start location will be Trudys Place, which a gas/convenience stop, on hwy 62 and the St Ola Rd. This is about 1/2 way between Madoc and Bancroft. And about 3 hours from Toronto and Ottawa.

Start time will be 10 am.

Note: Be gassed up and bring a lunch with you. Neither will be available once we get going.

I've cross posted this to the Ontario Overland FB page.

 

might be too early for a fall colours run. thats only next week no?
I know its a little further but there is 0 colour change in the kawarthas this weekend.

 

Could be a tad early for peak colours but there is always some change. And it does look nice. And with Ardbeg the following weekend and Thanksgiving after that we're into late October.

 

I saw that in the flyer and dismissed it as “not good enough” or “too slow” without actually considering the ACTUAL output.....blah blah blah.....so far so good eh? Abouts how long to “air up”?

 

The leaves are starting to change colours around my area and some are already dropping from the birch tree on my front lawn.

 

Greasy, slimey, smiley, scum sucking, maybe. But scaley? I expected more outa you, that puts me on a whole different level not even kid brock can compare to and he is a straight savege, trust me I know. Ill forget about it this time because well.... you have pictures

No bidding wars please. If all you wanted was a like you should have told me, @honkonbobo will get my likes in person when I see him in Ard of Beg, but because someone doesnt want to share campfire stories with the rest of us hes gonna have to come over for a bbq n drink to get any likes outa me.
Good day

 

Given comparison, the

$91 viair 88p portable compressor kit (12V, 120 psi, forup to 33" tires)

viair 88p that a lot of people get outputs 1.47 cfm and runs about $110 CAD.
I havent given it a full test through on them but i'll do it later today to "air down" to about 25 psi (i need to calibrate the pegs i got from a jeep meet a year back) and back up to 40, all timed.

Build quality feels like chinesium for some parts, but the hoses feel alright (i put floors down so i use some better quality hoses - nothing feels "great" to me). The hose stretches far but i've never been a fan of the precoiled hoses as a lot of length is usually lost, but fits in the box it came with, so i wont complain too much. comes with an extra fuse for the in-line fuse and a couple of add ons for pumping soccor balls and some other stuff.

What i like about it so far is it's reasonably quiet (compared to my Makita compressor) and it has an auto shut-off system to it. Where it reaches whatever psi i set it to and well - turns off. The tpms actually matched what the compressor outputed and the other 2 guages were +/- 1 or 2 psi around it.

 

Saw a set on marketplace for 700 today

 

I'm interested in going, going to see if my dad has the weekend off to drag him along the trails so he can see what it is we do in trucks as compared to him on an ATV. if he's game to go i'll be able to head up then.

 

@Joe23 @Therby

Looks like the trail ratings for VMUTS have been put up on OF4WD

I am seeing lots of 3's

OH LOOK A 4

BUT VMUTS DOES NOT HAVE 4's?

 

Love it!

 

wonder who did the rating....



from @Tridet167 word - it’s all like ardberg entrance road, which is 2 at max.


I believe you have 4s when I see this.



and this is 3s

 

Of4wd will have some maps so we will be able to go and explore?

@llamasmurf when does the trail close for sledding? Nov?

Edit: just checked. All the trails appear to be 1’s and 2’s.
Edit #2 there is 3’s and 4’a my bad.Here all all the trails under the VMUTS
