2wd BS and SoCal meet ups and Tacoma fun

Heard that one wheel drive engage towards the end. Locker time...

 

Yeah I think there is a free one floating around somewhere.....

 

Looks more like half way, and you would have made it with a locker

Looks like a cool place! I've heard about rowher but never been.

 

It is a cool place, just don't want to fall off your bike there. Very unforgiving terrain.

 

Yes I was aired down to 21 lb in the rear and 27 in the front. I could have kept trying, but again why try to grenade the diff or tax the random new engine that hard. Gave it a couple of good tries.maybe something that will come with more experience.

 

If I recall you are also on all seasons, right?

 

No the wrangler AT's with kevlar

 

Oh I remember you saying something about Firestones at the Ramona run maybe you had those before.

 

Yup was running those firestones in JT and realized I needed those off asap. I found the wranglers here on the forum for 250 and had them put on before the Ramona run.

 

I thought about it, but a rookie mistake and apparently not enough desire to get to the top without peer pressure

 

What kind of tire inflators are you guys using? I'm seeing a lot about a brand called viair.

 

I have the viair 88 works great upto 32 inch tire

 

I use an IAS tank (Instant Air Supply). It's a Co2 tank, so it's a limited supply, but much faster than an air compressor. But it needs to be refilled, so that's a downside compared to a compressor.

 

I was looking at this model also seems to be just right and not too bad on price.

Yeah I remember you were filling from a tank at Ramona, looked like a fast fill. What kind was it?

They are a vendor here on TW

 

Cool thanks, looks like I need to do some reading.

 

I prefer the portable viair over the co2 tank. I have one of those too, just don't really like the fact of a pressurized tank in the bed to come loose and break the valve on top. Plus you have to have refilled, granted it may not be all the time, but it does add to the extra cost of a trip once in a while plus it eats up time in the planning of a trip for me. So having the little air pump is best for me as its always ready and doesn't run out of air. I also have my kid who enjoys running and playing while I air down and up so time is not of the essence.

 

Yeah I'm thinking a Viair would be good to just have with you all the time.

I also ran across this:

$158 DEWALT Air Compressor, 135-PSI Max, 1 Gallon Tank, 2.6 Amp (D55140)

https://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-D55140-1-Gallon-Trim-Compressor/dp/B000HZJMFM

2.6 amp draw might run off the inverter (if you have it), but not sure how well it would work to reinflate 15-20psi on 4 tires since it's a small tank. Any thoughts?

 

It's a tad bulky. The viair fits perfectly behind the rear seat in the cubby. That Dewalt seems nice of you wanted to use an air tool, but again bulky and the viair is cheaper plus does the job

$75 VIAIR 88P - 00088 Tire Inflator Portable Onroad/Offroad Air Compressor for Car, Truck, SUV & RV | 12V On/Off Road Tire Pump Air Compressor Portable Heavy Duty 120 PSI, Alligator Clips, Twist Chuck

Saw this last night too. Pretty nice to have all that flat space for camping.
