I reserved a beach spot at A-basin next month for my gfs birthday. I think I'm going to bring up a grill with a full sized propane take. Are there any considerations ya'll can think of that I need to keep in mind bringing that setup from Denver to elevation/cold temps/etc?

 

Don't forget the bourbon to warm you up!

 

Yes, bring a big enough bucket that can hold some warm water to set the tank in.

If you don’t want to go that far with preventative measures, just make sure you bring something to set the tank onto that insulated it from the cold ground. Maybe even a blanket to wrap around the tank.

I had problems cooking from a full size tank when I was in Ouray a few years ago. The pressure in the tank was varying and seemed that it was spitting out bursts of liquid fuel which made little flame bursts come out of the stove.

 

Reflectix would probably work great for this

 

If it's true overlanding, you'll need a custom Pendleton blanket to wrap around the reflectix on the outside...

 

hahaha! Diesel heater to keep it at 60 degrees for maximum insta-points

 

*ARB update*
So I've been dealing with a tech named Jacob with my leafspring issue. (the same one that told me repeatedly that my reverse arc was normal).
Today here is the email I was sent.

If you were in my shoes what would you do? I called ARB and asked to speak with the warranty dept supervisor/manager and was told they don't have one. After a short run around I asked to speak with whom ever tech/warranty reported to at which point they finally transferred me to the voicemail for "Casey". I'm waiting for a call back but as I predicted from the tone of Jacob on our first call . I think they have no intention of handling this based on the communication this far. Oh and the weird bow in the center on me leaf pack "designed that way".
Please repost.

 

Buy the entire Alcan company and make your own leafs... you could probably get it for the same price as a deaver pack. haha

 

Height argument aside, the S curve of the spring in the pic you posted is a worn out/failure condition

 

best pic I could find but these are what my Alcans look like after 8+ years of abuse

 

your alcans are leaking.

 

This is my argument, the settling/ride height is what drew my attention and caused me the inspect the springs, they keep focusing on ride height when that's just a symptom of the condition. I even offer to reinstall my factory leaf pack and rear bumper to give them a base line just to appease their "measurement request" and their attitude is everything is fine. The manager/supervisor "Casey" went so far to say that the leaf pack is designed to have that s-curve. I asked for him to send me a email stating that.
Looking for anyone with a OME leaf packs to please post pictures along with age/mileage here, I want to get a broad sample of OEM leaf packs to compare to as this is probably the only way to dispute their decision.

 

I think that's where my blinker fluid has been going

 

Probably need to change your spark tube

 

mmmmmm reflectix

 

IMO, OME leaf packs are junk.

Even if you get it replaced, you'll be in the same situation soon.

Buy a quality leaf pack and move on.
