That's how you know you chose good ones

Hi Alex! You should come up my way and kayak Pleasant with me one of these days!

I had them (drums and pads) done at Break Masters before I moved, so however much I drive in the past 5ish months. I'll text you some pics

 

Holly, not the 600 so its like every other Holly out there.

I think I found the air/fuel screws. It almost doesn't idol on its own right now so I'm working on it as best as I can. I did open it up and clean it out as much as possible. It fired right up which is a first, just idol's like total hell.

 

do you guys fish or just yak around?
i love kayaking but i normally hit the salt.. im kind of lazy so i like the water to push me

 

I don't fish, I just take obscene amounts of pictures and tan, but we've got good fishing up here. I've done the Salt many times, but it's hard to get another person to drive vehicle #2...

 

nice nice
i live right by the salt, literally #1 is 15 minutes from my house. ALL of my friends have kayaks too, im talking like 20 of us. during the summer we always go on nights that have a full moon, its SO AWESOME! you dont even need a light or anything. i cant wait for the water level to come back up. i want to do part of the verde that flows into fon d sutton! that is flowing right now

im always down to be vehicle #2. during the summer time we usually hit the salt 2-3 times a week. some of my friends hit it like 5 times a week. haha but thats too much for me.

 

Where do you live? My parents live over off McDowell and ellsworth. The last neighborhood on the right. I've been out of there for a few years now but I liked living over there

 

Sounds cold but I'm down!

 

We hit the lower salt a few times over the summer

 

i live inbetween university and brown right off ellsworth basically!
i love living over here. ill always be in this general area haha. close to all the out door activities

 

I hate how Mesa lights are not timed. I live at Sossaman and the 60, so getting onto the 202 and taking that to University is out of the question. Timed it the other day, and it takes almost 20 minutes to get from Baseline and Sossaman to McKellips and Ellsworth. That's 7 miles. I take that route a lot too and dread it everytime. I take Baseline to Ellsworth and Ellsworth across.

 

All this wheel talk and differences makes me think imma need spacers to clear my 285s on sequoias. Blah haha

 

i know exactly what your saying brian. theres freeways everywhere right here but depending on where you want to go, you cant take them because of the interchanges, pisses me off as well. lol but i still love it.

 

depending on where your rubbing, wheel spacers could make the rubbing way worse. FYI

 

Power has relatively timed lights, but you only get green lights all the way when there is no traffic.

 

Heck yeah let me know when! I have never done a night paddle, sounds like a blast. I don't know anyone else that kayaks other than Alex ^ (hi Alex, hi Teal) so I usually hit the lakes since I go alone. When will the Salt be back to yakin' level you think?

 

I guess I'll just have to put everything on and check then. I understand everything about my rig except how offset and back spacing works on rims. I'm going from a 16x8 4 bs with -12 offset to a 17x7.5 4.5-5 bs with like a +15 offset. So different

 

sounds good to me! night paddles are always the most interesting, especially with my redneck friends haha!
i dont think the salt will be back to yakkin level till like the end of feburary
its been a while, and i need some water time in!

yeah i havent even tried to learn back spacing and stuff like that..... haha.

if your tires are rubbing while you are turning, putting spacers on will make it worse. why: because spacers push out your wheels from the point your tires turn at, thus making your tire travel a longer distance while turning than not having a spacer, does that make sense?

i wanted to put spacers on my truck years ago to get that "cooler look" and i rubbed a little bit on the pinch weld before and i didnt even think of it. put the spacers on and i couldnt even get out of my driveway. took them right back off. haha.
but if your tires are rubbing on your upper control arm or something like that, then yes spacers will help.

 

Yes that makes perfect sense! I would rub my bumper when I turned and was flexed at all so we chopped my bumper a little. I'm expecting the new wheels to suck in more than what I have now. So I'm expecting to rub my upper control arm.

 

nice there ya go! nothing a BFH cant fix!

 

Yeah I lived over there for like 10 years and loved it. But when I chose where I could live I moved west so I could be closer to work and just more central in general.

Driving in east mesa is a breeze compared to driving in tempe or scottsdale area. You get snow birds pretty bad but usually the roads aren't even busy enough for it to matter. Although generally the farthest west I ever went was ellsworth
