The Lair

I have a fan theory that Jaime is actually Superman in disguise.

 

His voice did have that Clark Kent'esq sound to it.

 

Rob remember right down the road if you need something

 

This is true

 

Thank you Jim, I appreciate it so much Brother!

 

Managed to snag a lightly used MSS off eBay for $139 shipped. Intermediate bag is a little dirty on the outside of the head area but that’s it. My wife got issued one and I used it on a couple winter trips last winter and I was sold. Next weekend will be mid 30s up at aoaa so I wanted to get one for myself, since she had to turn her hers back in.

 

You happen to have any pics or measurements for the lower shock mounts ?

 

And so it begins...first hard freeze of the season. Time to make cleaning the garage out a priority!

 

Randall assisted "design"

 

Boujee as fuck

 

Why CO2 though?

 

Because he wants to exchange his time waiting for his tires to fill for his time going to Roberts Oxygen.

 

If I average one trip per month, I’ll save 2 hours and 15 min per year in airing up. With a 15 lb tank I’ll need to fill it twice per year. Each trip maybe 30-40 min so overall I’ll still be saving time DAVE

 

But to answer your question, saves time while airing up. 45 seconds with CO2 vs 3:30 with the dual arb. Less draw on the electrical system. Can reseat a bead with ease and if I really want to, run air tools.

 

Well today I will be picking up a fortuner. It is a toyota. I wanted the Surf or Hylux but will settle on a mini suv.

 

At the cost of being reliant on an outside source....you run out of co2 and you’re bumming a ride or asking to use a compressor.

 

Make your own DirtLife on youtube did a comparison and has links for the parts needed to make your own for a few hundred. Now those powertanks are sweet! I've used CO2 once and it was awesome. I would keep a small compressor though just in case.

 

Randall.......I ran across this the other night.

Could say the same for any compressor, as there’s a chance for failure in many aspects. At least with CO2 I will know exactly how much I have left in the tank before a trip. I’d argue that it’s more reliable than an air compressor, so long as you ensure you have enough CO2 before a trip.

 

I’ll admit I didn’t watch the comparison, but the main reason I didn’t want to make my own set up is the regulator. The cheaper ones can freeze over before you’re done with all 4 tires, and you’re sitting there waiting for it to thaw before you can continue. They also just don’t pump as much volume. The regulator I’ll have does like 42 CFM or something ridiculous. That’s the most expensive part of the kit. The tank itself was actually cheaper than buying one from Roberts oxygen surprisingly.
