tonered's Weaksauce Taco Build and BS Thread A.K.A I'm supposed to be content, dammit!

I'd send you one if I have any left over. Lemme look when I get home?

It was extra bits from a float setup for my kayak.

 

Here's what I have leftover.

The shorty has a sewn in loop. Would it be long enough?

Otherwise, I could stitch a handle in the other one that has the buckles on it?

 

i think the shorty would probably be perfect!

 

Schweet!

I'll melt a hole in it and get it out to you.

PM me your addy.

 

My very similar version of @Shellshock 's deflator / inflator (two-wheel at a time option):

I deviated slightly because I just enjoy this tool:
https://www.wirecare.com/category/t...4-3-4-stainless-steel-aluminum-tool-w-wingnut

It makes sweet little wire clamps out of baling wire, safety wire, or whatever. The HF Diablo hoses were both cheap and easy to mod for this. I already had a 25ft'er for getting air from my tank in the bed mount to all four wheels.

I used this inflator, since the one the @Shellshock linked was in the $90 region when I was looking:

$23 AstroAI Digital Tire Pressure Gauge with Inflator(3-250 PSI 0.1 for Display Resolution), Heavy Duty Air Chuck and Compressor Accessories with Rubber Hose and Quick Connect Coupler Car Accessories

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07528LFCT

It reports to 0.1psi and has 1/4 NPT on both ends. You don't need to touch anything to get a reading, just apply air pressure to the end, same as a dial gauge.

I would say to not deviate from those killer air chucks. They make for fast work and no air loss putting them on or yanking them off.

I did redo this connection to point the tee inward for better packing:


Only scuba for me:







I also realized that I needed a presta connection for our bikes. The HF Diablo hose was the same ID / OD as my handpump, so:

 

Bed D rings and SB Bed Mat cut to fit:



Updated to a LB mat thanks to a kind swap with @mark_tga . Thanks! It was great chatting with you and your wife.

A 3in hole saw made for wrist snapping cuts that were just the right size:


All loaded up:


Thanks @Bertw192 for tossing out the idea.

 

Going to do that but with serious security tie downs magically attached to frame.

 

That's what I call shit security!

 

What's going on up in this bitch?

 

Nothing amazing.


Mainly, I get tired of searching for old pics, so this is just easy storage.

 

I'll hang around then.

 

Welcome in!

 

You got new lamin-x i see.

 

Yes. I had them for a little while. The smoked was too dark and dimmed the stock bulbs. The yellows with LEDs slice through the fog like a champ.

 

Are those LEDs plug and play? Because i was thinking to increase the output of those bad boys for more yellow.

 

Yes. They do have a modulator box or whatever. But, they plugged right up. I don't know the brand as they were given to me.

 

Finished up the Faux Pro intake.

The Intake Accelerator is bigger in real life than I expected.

 

Yes it is quite big haha. I noticed more whistling noise when i installed mine.

 

Nice! I'm looking forward to it. It will probably be Saturday afternoon until I get to test it out.
