NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I did indeed

 

How long are those valve covers going to stay white?

 

Found your missing socket and solved that annoying unknown rattle for you.

 

Long gone....hope someone else is enjoying it as much as I did

 

3 maybe 4 days. They came off a junkyard rig and were pretty gnarly and corroded looking from sitting. I put a junk yard valve cover on my 3rz thinking the pitted looking white shit would get hot, flake off and kinda go away. It did a little but I’ve always wished I did something with it before I put it on.

 

Deal. I'll let you know

 

Gold standard, a bit expensive for how little I'll use it tho

 

If you have 32s (or smaller tires) I would just get the single and call it a day.

 

I have the single w/ skinny 33s and it is still fine, just have to wait a bit longer when airing back up.

 

Totally. I think with the smaller tires you are saving maybe 30 seconds per tire using the double over the single. That number will increase (maybe exponentially) the bigger the tires are. There are people running the singles with 35s.

 

Pro Tool Supply in parkland, wa is going out of business 40% off entire store

 

Most of the reviews Ive seen really show the dual taking twice as long as the single.

But honestly the best thing I've done....grab a 1/4" npt inlet/outlet regulator, and lock-on or " no loss" chuck and a hose to go between the two. (add a valve too if you want) Set the regulator to what you want ahead of time. Hook it up and turn the compressor on till the compressor turns off via the pressure switch. No more baby sitting it just once its off you swap to the next tire

 

Yeah, I didn't know if you/your buddy/ another bystander who happened to be there was flying the drone, so I intentionally didn't make a directed comment. I wondered about the other photo myself, it did seem to have an almost unbelievable balance between foreground and background exposure. I dabble in photography myself so I know how hard that is. Or they were using super-dim lights for just that reason. I didn't look to see if the contest had any restrictions on compositing entries. Some cameras do have a high dynamic range mode where multiple exposures are taken and composited in the body (my 5D-III will do that), so I thought that might be a possibility. 2nd photo is nice as well, surprised it didn't make the cut. Would have voted for that one. At any rate, meant to wish you luck in the contest! I sure miss my '98, but she's having a good life with the new owner.

 

Mind snapping a pic of your setup. I would like to do something like that as well.

 

have any of you guys ever installed bolt on sliders? I've drilled 4 out of the 40 holes and im already done. Dulled out 2 bits already lol just going to weld it this weekend

 

yea, Mobtown. Why are you drilling for bolt on sliders? What do you have?

 

they're just cheap trail gear ones. they want you to turn your frame to swiss cheese but forget that

 

I dont have a picture of mine but something like this

I have the single mounted in a bed cubby and have it run to the regulator in there with the QD on it. Then just use the ARB orange air hose with a "locking" chuck end.

 

shoot..if they want you to drill
holes..forget that. Bolt-on sliders, mean ...well, bolt on.

 

Nice. Gonna pick up a regulator right now!
