So much for the dual compressor “kit”.



need to pick up a switch, in-line fuse and some hose fittings. Should have it buttoned up tomorrow and more than capable of airing up the 37’s

 

Anyone in need of what's listed on the Colorado Toyota FB group?

 

That 62 looks like it needs some love but damn.... 3500 would make it a great crawler.

 

Padric is a good guy. Met him a couple of times last year while I was living just south of Durango in Farmington, NM.

 

3.5 min from dead flat to road psi for one tire. Pretty sure that’s quicker than my compressor in my garage will do. And a lot quieter.

 

This Bush fire that's burning is bad. Burned 64,000 acres with 0 containment.

 

I used to run with a Jeep guy that plumbed a compressor connection to each tire, then made customer length hoses. He would hook up all 4 tires and sit back while they filled. I think he had an auto shut off for a certain PSI, when all the tires were balanced, it shut off. It was a cool setup.

 

I thought about running a fitting to each wheel well but that’s too fancy for me. That Jeep setup sounds sweet other than having to carry the 4 hoses and connectors. But I’m sure he had them packaged nicely in a carrying case or something.

 

Wait, 4 peaks is on fire?!

 

It was 4 hoses at about 36" long, didn't take up much room. 90º auto locking and quick disconnects. It was fancy, but he hooked them up, climbed in his seat and hung out until it was done. Or walked around and chatted with us lowlifes doing one tire at a time.

 

Yep, over 64k acres, doubles the last few nights. Sunflower is evacuating, Tonto Basin is preparing to evacuate. 0% contained, high winds and no rain in the forecast.

 

that sucks so much....

 

what really pisses me off is it was human caused. They’re going to lock us all back up if we can’t behave. First covid. Then riots and looting. Now burning down the damn state. This shit needs to stop.

 

I heard it was a car fire on the 87 that started it.

 

This is what i read but only checked one source. Awful either way

 

My bed rack finally shipped. But now I can’t find the awning I want in stock lol. Hoping TAV in Albuquerque has one. I’ll drive up next week and use it as an excuse to camp.

 

What awning you getting and why? I’ve been thinking an awning would be a nice addition to my setup

 

alu-cab shadow 270. Because I’m lazy and it seems like a solid choice for a standard 270 awning. Heavier than some of the new ones but seems sturdy

 

Twinning at work

 

I love the Gila forest.
