Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

I saw a military H1 on 880 yesterday pulling a trailer. Both rigs were painted camo and followed by a Unimog or something like it. Way cool looking!

 

Going to Northstar the 26th-27th

 

You guys may have heard already. If you fill up with 10 gallons of gas at Shell you get buy one get one free lift ticket voucher for Sierra, Squaw, China Peek and I think one other resort.

BTW my name is Evan. Pretty new to the forums but its good to see there is such an active thread for Norcal.

 

Whattup man. Didn't know they still had that promotion. I remember about five years ago using it so my two buddies could get cheaper lift tickets. Season pass alldayyyy

 

A fellow X-Runner owners dad has one of those (you can kinda see it in the background)... We used it to tow the ski boat at a X-Runner meet

 

Yeah I have one....

Jerry has one???

 

Jason...

 

Been seeing this truck at fort funston.

 

Anyone want a free OEM air filter? Just picked up a K&N. Im just gonna throw it away if no one wants it. It has about 4000 miles on the filter.

Pulled it out of my 2nd gen 6cyl.

 

Just a word of warning. If you don't properly clean & oil the filter, you will get dust and or filter oil that passes through the filter and ends up on the MAF...so get a can of MAF cleaner and be prepared to take care of that every second time you clean the filter.

 

Does anyone in Sacramento have a set of wheel spacers for sale?

I need 6x5.5 bolt pattern.

1.25-2.00" and Hub-centric needed.

I would like to pick up in the AM tomorrow! Thanks peeps...

I am supposed to go wheeling tomorrow in Sly Park but need to get some spacers first.

BTW if anyone wants to roll to Sly Park with some T4R's tomorrow AM pm or text me.

 

Thanks for the heads up! How often are you guys cleaning your filter? I will probably check it when I change my oil. I was thinking every two or three oil changes yea? I know it will probably fluctuate based on the conditions you drive in.

 

I check mine every oil change. But if I've been to a dusty place, I will check when I get home. I usually clean it every other month at least.

I have been thinking about going back to the paper filter. Why? First is the additional effort to clean the MAF. It's hard to see in a photo but there can be a fair amount of filter oil on the wires. Second, cleaning the filter is messy and takes time-you need to clean the filter and allow it to dry before re-oiling and replacing it. In the summer, it's not that big a deal but in the winter it takes forever to dry. Last, based on the crap that builds up on the MAF, I'm not convinced it's doing as good a job filtering the air as a paper filter does.

 

Anyone heard from jberry lately? Havent seen him in hear in a while.

Can anyone explain to me what this does?

With my dual setup I was just going to leave the second battery there, with the first one to power everything oem. With the second I would wire a fuse box and have my lights, light, a few more lights, maybe a compressor?, a cb? iono i would just like the aftermarket parts isolated.

 

Let's say you do that. When you start the truck or run the accessories, they'll run off of both batteries regardless of which battery they're connected to.

If you use an isolator, you can separate the batteries so running the winch (for example) doesn't drain both batteries. You can isolate using a simple switch or something more complex. Some systems allow you to leave both batteries connected and when one drains, the system isolates the other so you don't end up without power-lots of options to choose from.
