Calling all Virginians (Tidewater area)

If you look at Map 27 of the MVUM, Shoe Creek is Forest Road 263 and it runs into Meadow Lane. From there you turn left onto RT56, follow that through Montebello and jump on RT608 and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Down on your left there will be a turn off to Forest Road 162 (which is the Big Levels Trails) that you can take through to Coal Road. Only problem is Forest Road 162 has a seasonal restriction and closes 01/10 until 04/01.

 

Anything else nearby to add on that'll be open in January?

 

I'll take a look! I am putting all the trails on the MVUM into Backcountry Navigator just for the purpose of trip planning. My intention is to share it once complete; but I am only 13 of 59 maps complete at this point.

 

Take em wit u. I'll get there like 6:30... unless you're staggering... I mean walking!

 

I'll be there this evening!!

Matt is now our spotter for trails down in Jogia.

 

spelt it wrong, its JAWGA lol!

 

I'll be there, a little late but there... i get off at 7pm FTL

 

ARB compressor died this morning. I recall asking people not to all air up at once with it and then everybody airing up with it. Not the fuse either.

Guess it's time for a dual compressor and tank.

This is why I like wheeling with TW guys, nobody just assumes that they're going to use someone else's shit.

 

Are they not rebuildable?

Only 50% duty cycle too...argh. How many trucks you refill?!?!?

 

What kind is it . High capacity or the twin setup

 

I wouldn't go with an ARB compressor...if your planning a tank anyways. Lots more room for improvement for the same cost threshold. Just a more involved install...not so plug and play.

I'm hiding all my shit in the bedside.

Check Skygears thread...

shit i know i bummed off linwoods at flagpole. did his, mine and i think half of one other guy and it overheated iirc

 

Arb I'm assuming Single or dual?

 

You sure it's dead? Btnewman and I are both running that same

$350 CKMA12 On-Board Air Compressor High Performance 12 Volt for Air Locker Differentials and Tire Inflation

CKMA12 compressor and we have abused the hell of them with no issues yet. When you run them too hot they will shut off until they cool back down and once they do they kick back on. In Moab 2012, Ben aired up like 6 guys with his. We ran it til it shut itself off and then waited for it to kick back on and ran it til it shut off again and waited til it kicked back on and were able to air the last guy up before it shut off the 3rd time.

As AaronArf said, a tank is pointless on an ARB compressor since they can only run up to 90 psi. Personally I think a tank is pointless on any OBA setup unless it is huge or you have a valve to close off the tank once it is empty. After doing some math, even a 5 gallon tank at 200 psi won't do more than 2 tires, if you are on 35's I think it will barely do one tire. After it is drained, you are now filling up the tire and the tank at the same time which can add a couple minutes or more to each tire fill time.

 

i believe his in a single with a 1 gal tank have to ask him to make sure

and what he said^^^ thats the compressor slim has and that what we did, waited for it to cool and kept it going

 

I got to say I really like my co2 setup. Still going to install the

$350 ckma12 on-board air compressor high performance 12 volt for air locker differentials and tire inflation

ckma12 arb high capacity. Problem with the co2 after filling up 4 35s the regulator freezes a bit. Got to wait a couple of minutes

 

didnt it do that to you at flagpole with your 33s?
