Colinb17's kinda sorta build thread - now with 4-link and long travel

you're going to LOVE CO2. i'm going to buy a second tank actually. ran the first tank empty yesterday morning filling up. with 35s, it looks like you can fill about 1 set of 4 tires per pound of CO2. i have a 10 lb tank, and got about 10 air-ups out of it, if my memory is working properly this fine monday morning

20 lbs combined, and the extra redundancy of having two sets of gauges/regulators, vs a single 20 lb tank will be nice.

 

I think that arb is the one David had. For some reason it confused the heck out of me. His dad ended up showing me how to use it.

 

yeah, a little more work than the "set it and forget it" deflators, but it's quick, and very nice to be able to read pressure in real time, instead of having to trust that you tuned the deflators properly, and that temperature changes haven't thrown off the spring constants.

 

almost time for a new winch line. this is the worst spot, so it still has some life left, but i'll be starting the search for a replacement. my default (if i can't find something i like more), is to have steve make one for me at SE Overland. i have a couple of his products and have really enjoyed using them, and their quality.

i'll cut up the old winch line and make some extensions out of it. i really want to make 2 equal length extensions (15+ foot range) to be used as a bridal for when pulling someone from a single off-center attachment point is not ideal.

 

Had to stop on the drive back to Houston to remove the DS from Jetlander's truck. started vibrating after about 45 minutes on the highway due to some nice dents he encountered the day before

 

Welcome to the club

 

Psh, don't welcome me to the club, my driveshaft is doing just fine. I pick the right lines most of the time

 

I wasn't talking to you

 

The video from this weekend is complete. Saving it to the file now and will upload soon. I usually try and keep my videos down to five minutes, but this one stretched to seventeen.

 

any plans to break into the feature film market?

you get a shot of jonathan's truck chucking that mini boulder at you?

 

I sure did. I also got Matt on 2 wheels!

I dubbed in a lot of music as the gopro was in the waterproof housing. All you hear are the creaks and groans from the suspension.

 

i had to mute it while watching my videos. especially the ones from the rear bumper. right next to the leaf springs and loud as hell.

is the matt bicycle part when he dropped into that washout and almost went over?

 

Yup, that's the one. I had the camera on just in time to see him come up on two wheels. That segment is right after your.. um.. cameo.

 

oh no......

any chance you added in some nice love makin music for that part

 

Miley Cyrus, "We Can't Stop"

 

You're dead to me.

 

Send me a link to that dash cam.

1080p should be available shortly. The video took forever to upload and youtube takes forever to allow all of the resolutions to be available.
