Colorado B.S. Thread

I passed by there twice this afternoon. Usually I can spot your truck from a block away. I must be off my game today.

 

I've always wanted to see cake in concert. They seem like they'd put on a good show.

 

This was a free show. And they were epic. They had 80+ bands on 6 stages Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

 

Hanging out. I dont live that far away from there

 

It was about 3:45pm. You were waiting at the light. I was turning left onto Bowles from the street in front of Tipsys. Just stocked up for a few months. You got the light first.

 

I've seen them three times. Awesome every time!! I was going to go to FoCo to see them this weekend but ended up in Breck instead.

 

Does anyone else think this reads like a "missed connections" ad?
....I stared at you all night but you were playing hard to get.

 

Just got back from 4 days of exploring Tin Cup Pass, Pomeroy Lakes, Hancock Lakes, Baldwin Lakes, St Elmo, and hiking to the Alpine Tunnel.

Oh and soaking in Cottonwood Hot Springs for the first time since 1997. A lot has changed there.

 

Holy shit...don't get on here in a month and 1000 posts later...sup Colorado!

 

Did you just assume my state?

 

Maybe...

 

Okay... in the vein of "which gear oil to use?" and "what tires are best?" discussions.... I'm looking to upgrade to onboard air. After having to air up in torrential rain/hail for over 20 minutes yesterday (going from 18 psi to 35 psi), it's time to retire the MV-50 (which has served me well).

For my applications, first and foremost is airing up 31" tires. For shits and giggles let's say I upgrade to a metric equivalent of 32" tires down the road. Would prefer to have the ability to air up quickly.

I would like a super reliable compressor. One that I don't spend $100s on only to have it crap out after a few years.

I wheeled with @Squeaky Penguin and @Star-Lord and saw both of their set ups in action. Both seemed fine by me. The former having a Viair and the latter a Smittybuilt (don't know the models of either).

The more insults slung at the poster who suggests a different compressor/brand than you, the better.

Thanks.

 

I got nothing, I'm still using an MV-50. Interested to see where this goes since everyone usually suggests the $500 ARB before anything else...

 

I've never once been disappointed in the MV-50, honestly. Yesterday was just a "fuck this" moment. It would have been nice to cut that time in 1/4 to fill up my tires.

 

Viar 400 is the best bang for the the buck especially after the recent price drop. Fairly equivalent to the ARB single. Both are plenty for those size tires.

 

That's the one you have? When I go to their website it only lists it as "light duty, quarter duty, medium duty, etc" http://www.viaircorp.com/oba/

But I see in the descriptions it mentions 400C compressor. I assume that's what I'm going after.

I'm assuming I don't need a system with a tank either.

 

No matter what compressor you go to I dont think you'll see that much (4x) decrease in your air up time. For that you would probably want to look into bottled CO2.

 

Cool always wondered what that guy was about with the flag.

 

Definitely not going the CO2 route. Maybe not 4x difference but Old Brett's compressor filled up my tires a "helluva lot" faster than the MV-50. How's that for technical jargon?
