NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Looks very similar... Even the bag is the same shape. http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/QIN0/MV50.oap?ck=Search_mv50_-1_3686&keyword=mv50

I haven't had it long, but the couple times I've used it it's done 2.5 and 3 rigs each.

No Shit!!! I made it all the way back to North Bend from Easton, stopping at every gas station, on 12psi.

 

Can't mount it in the bedside. Well, not without a lot of...

 

why mount it.... its called portable for a reason.. don't make it non portable.. put a dang strap around that sucker when wheeling either in your bed, box or roof rack... 70$ for a reason...

 

There's definitely something different between yours and @Yetimetchkangmi. Your tires need more air and seem to take 1/4 of the time

 

Board at work early this morning (mall crawlin)....... waiting on a couple guys to show up. Thought I would send out the "Bat-taco Call"

 

Even my little POS TJM compressor is faster than what @Yetimetchkangmi (what a name to type out) says his will do. I went from 8psi to 38psi when we were in the snow a month or so ago. Took about 5 minutes per tire. I would say about 2 minutes of that is from 30 to 38... It gets me up to 30psi pretty quick, then it falls on its face.

A friend of mine (granted this was probably 5 years ago) was having issues with his single ARB compressor and they just sent him a new one when he sent them pictures of the broken internal pieces... He fixed the old one for about $30 and retrofitted the two of them together with a little tank. That thing works VERY well. He was half way done with my 3rd tire when I finished my first. (That was from like 16psi to 38psi). I want to say he also bored out a hole, and upgraded some wires while he had them apart. I stopped listening when he told me how much a similar setup would cost.

 

Added those to my places to check out if I ever make it out there.

@polyanskiyalex I saw you on Tuesday as you turned from 405 South into the Renton Landing, I believe. It was about 1:20PM. Your bumper looked good if it was you. Very similar to @northwesttaco's

 

He's a member on here, but the only time I have seen him post was to sell stuff. I don't remember his username, but he's a really nice guy. Lives in Renton Highlands. I have his '11 OEM grill on my '06.

Edit: That was weird, as soon as I made this post, a thread he made yesterday was bumped in my feed:

@Metalnut I'm thinking about rolling up the north fork road today and shooting some guns. What are you up to?

 

Just got done putting some new shoes on. I'm about to take the dog to the dog park, though, so I'm not sure I'll be able to join you.

 

Hey Jim, what size tires are you running, I'm curious how your deflate times would compare to 315/75's. The route I'm considering mostly lines up with what you did. It just eliminates adjusting each tire on the second walk around. The OBA system would control deflation with a solenoid type relief valve. I figured it would be a laid back way to air down.

 

Is anyone in this group going to the North West Overland Rally in Plain this year?
June 23rd-26th.

Looking forward to meeting up on the west side for some more trail runs and camping.

 

235/85r16... The hose I used is 1/4", so bigger tires would take quite a while longer. And regardless of hose size, you're restricted by the quick disconnect, which is even smaller than the 1/4 hose.

 

Planning on it.

 

ah, good point about the quick disconnect

 

Good.
I am looking forward to it. Already have the time off!
Need to work out a hot water/shower system. Wish I could have a custom rack fabricated by this time, but I doubt it.

 

Are you looking for someone to fab it up or do it yourself?

 

On my Xcab '87 I had 4" dual tube bumpers front and rear. Air in the front, water in the back. Used the air to power the water with QCs and an air hose. Worked ok if you like coldish showers. Was great for post surf wash off.

 

If next year is anything like last year, im sure they'll appreciate a cold shower.. I can't make it since I leave for Alaska the last day of it
