AZ BS Thread 4.2⁰

It was fun, especially when we decided to air down our front tire by 10psi. It was a night and day different going down the wash.

You miss Kermit?

 

yeah. parts were a lot cheaper. but he was underbuilt and over-abused. wouldn't mind building another one but it'd have to be a pure wheeler

 

You need to build a CO2 tank or get an compressor Bri Bri. Airing down is critical. You'll balloon those KO2s if you tag a rock at speed in a wash.

 

Orbital is in Chandler and Gilbert. Worked there for 5.5 years. Was a great company until the merger of ATK happened.

 

tell me about that please. They seem to be hiring like crazy and I know a few people that are there. How is it for IT guys like us?

 

I have a compressor. I usually air down.

 

Buy one of these:

Tire Inflator, Portable 12 Volt Air Pump, Air Compressor by MasterFlow for Inflating Full Size 4 x4, Truck, SUV and RV Tires

I've been using it for 5 years and it's never given me an issue. I still carry it in case I run out of CO2

 

Hey Guys, hope you had a decent weekend despite the heat. I got my mesh grill don on my Tacoma this weekend, was a pretty easy job actually although I had it sitting around for almost a year waiting for me to do the task.

So I have a pop-up shade thing that I use when out in the desert shooting or whatever, but thinking an awning attached to the rack on my truck might be good. The pop-up biggest flaw is it has to be staked down if any breeze comes up, then it takes up a good space in the bed once it is collapsed and stuffed back in the bag/case. Anyone have some info on specific models to get? I have a CVT roof top tent, I think they offer one, but open to suggestions as well as how they survive in breezy days.

 

Get the cvt batwing awning

 

For anyone who doesn't follow the weekly meet thread.. We are having a get together and trail run up Four Peaks on Tuesday the 26th. We'll be leaving from the Shell station off of Shea Blvd. in Fountain Hills at 6:00pm. Anyone and everyone are welcome to join in, please respond to the OP so we can add you to the list and know to expect you.

CVT is "out of stock" on the batwing awning at this time. Too bad there is not a group buy on these things! at $585 a lot of cash to replace my $79 pop-up... (just saying) Their standard awning is $325 for the 99" one.

 

The gb has been going on since feb. Im almost the last one still in. But yeah they arent cheap. Cvt does offer a 10% tw discount tho. Not a big difference but its something. But awnings tend to pop up pretty frequently

 

Thanks, I was thinking that but wasnt sure.
Lots of trails back there and it goes deep. Im sure one could get very lost.

 

I'm more than ready for AZ wheeling

 

When are you back in AZ?

 

August 13th-ish. California wheeling sucks. I almost did a night run last weekend that was an hour away. They started at 10 pm and didn't finish until 4am. Fuck that

 

Yeah i'm not about that, I like the night runs that have me in bed by midnight doing some netflix and chill.

 

Anyone have an idea how much it would cost to do a coilover rebuild on a set of Kings? I am thinking about getting these? https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/fs-king-coilovers-bilstein-rear-shocks-deaver-aal.442461/
Who in the valley area does rebuilding?
