    It isn't wheelin' season when you put the truck up on jackstands and start tearing it apart. Only place that closes is URE from mid Dec to April 1st or is it march. Doesn't matter everything else is open and going. Most people hang it up during the winter. I like it a little more only the most hardcore and crazies go out. Less traffic!

    I usually wheel in the fall and winter it seems. I guess it will be whatever the climate control situation is in the garage in the house I have not yet bought is. Cold I'm fine down to well below what you guys get here, heat I'm tapped out in april around here LOL.

    My garage is insulated so it stays around 55F during the coldest of days. Summer is another story, shit sucks cause humidity. A window AC or mini split would be awesome, but not needed if we aren’t going to be here much longer.

    Lmao swamp cooler?!?!?! What are we in Arizona now? I was at one of my shops in vegas at my old job and they were asking me if we used swamp coolers in Illinois, I just laughed at him.

    0% effective in humidity west of the Rockies.

    I don't know I never worked in an air conditioned or shop with one all we had were fans to move the hot air around.

    I wish I had a window in the garage at my old house for an AC unit. I would do my vehicle PMs in may then in September so I didnt have to be in there in the extreme cold, and humidity in the summer. Cold I could deal with, its was the wet soup of road salt and shit on the garage floor that sucked in the winter.

    I’ve got the windows for a 8-10k unit, but hopefully we’re moving next spring/summer. Plus I’m selling my shit and going back to mostly stock.

    It basically blows air over falling water or a water drum, so you need crazy dry air for it to work. Ineffecitive east of the Rockies.

    I thought swap coolers blow air over a big block of ice? Or is that only the DIY versions that do that?

    Oh cool, I’m on the South Blvd side. Have you been to the auto pour at Seneca Place? I think I’ve seen your truck there.

    Typically not bad. I'd recommend getting there about 90 minutes early. There seems to be a decent amount of people Monday morning flying out when I've flown early Monday mornings. It'll give you time to park, go through security, etc.

    Shouldnt be bad. I fly out of CLT early like that and as @Archangel said, 90 should be plenty. Especially right now with air traffic being down.
