I agree.

Not so much regarding the obvious potential handling issues, but the heating and tire damage. Every time your tire sidewall flexes on the bottom of the rotation, the rubber builds heat. This heat can build pretty high and eventually damage the tire up to and including potential complete failure.

Usually if you run lower than normal street pressures offroad, you are normally running much slower with frequent stop and go cooling opportunities.

 

I wasn't trying to scare 'em, I'm just saying know your limits, especially when you're wheeling in a place without cell service solo.

Plenty of people run 10-15psi. But, if the worst case does happen, do you have a backup?

 

Fair enough.

Common sense is the first tool anyone should pull out and use when going off road. If common sense is deployed before a situation arises, failures due to bad decisions will be fewer and farther between.

Before leaving the pavement, when rolling solo:
-Know your limits personally and vehicularly, and don't exceed them without careful deduction.
-If you have limited to no cell service or SAT access, take your time and plan appropriately before making your next step.

Before leaving the pavement, understand:
-That even the most carefully thought out plan can go south when a perfectly healthy vehicle has an unexpected failure.
(sensor, hose, nut/bolt, fuse, etc)
-That even the most carefully thought out plan can go south when a perfectly healthy person has an unexpected failure.
(heart, appendix, eye, nerve, muscle, etc)

This is reality, and a risk we all take.
-Airing down your tires is not rocket science.
-Knowing when, where, why, and how to properly air down and drive on aired down tires takes some basic understanding. This comes with trial and error, and patience.

Get out there and have fun!

 

Order from here... https://www.oregonproducts.com/en/consumer-products/outdoor-power-equipment/40-volt/c/40volt-c

Use p4employee for discount

 

323.86 is what the total comes out for the saw and 6.0 battery with charger. It cost 20 bucks to ship. If you use that code that @ST77 posted

 

That is awesome! Thank you. The 6.0ah option is sold out. I’ll check again later.

 

I have to 4.0ah's and have used it on one battery all day and it wore me out and never dipped to (2bars) half... I think the 6.0 is overkill but your choice. Since you're ordering with a discount I purchased the bag, extra bar and extra chain.

 

Suspensions installed and I'm LOVING it!
Before & after..

 

Looks good!

 

Nice! How’s the ride compared to stock?

I couldn’t wait for shipping so I drove down and picked mine up today lol. Just not going up have time to install until next weekend.

 

Make sure to take pre lift measurements!
Good choice on the long bed too.

 

I forgot to do this... But I didn't install myself

 

Ooooh man, it's a huge difference from stock to me. Feels much more planted/grounded. It takes bumps like they're nothing. I feel much more in control. Going to go offroading tomorrow morning to check how things go there, but I'm certain it'll be outstanding.

 

Try 40volt.com. Same employee code.

 

Yours looks like it turned out good. How do you like how it sits?

 

Thank you!
I also got an employee pricing for another company also, so I’m comparing. Ultimately my 6 year old decided she wants to pick out the saw for me. So we shall see....it’s down to only a few options at least.

 

Sits perfect

 

Okay. So long as @C41n is okay with this. How many would be up for a Bennett Pass Rd run next Saturday the 24th? Weather looks promising.
If there is enough interest we can coordinate a time and place to meet.

 

Will do. Plan on pictures, measurements. Plenty of cussing and bloody knuckles

I have next Friday off and plan on installing my lift that day. If I can get all finished up, count me in for Saturday.

 

Looks familiar.....
