April 21st - Official CJA Open Run

[specialk]

There is always the possibility of damage to by our jeep when taking it off road.

As buki said, this will be an easy run and the odds are that you won't even get a scratch.  If you are concerned or unsure of what to do or how to handle a stretch of trail, stop and ask.  There will be some very experienced drivers out there who will be more than happy to assist.

I refuse to get inside a Jeep without scratches... Jeep born to have scratches!

Yes. It seems like it'll be a good day.  BUT nobody is showing any interest in a wienie roast. I'd buy the hot dogs, but I need to know how many to buy and who maybe could spring for buns? And who could bring wood/stoves?  You know the basics.  Come on guys post up only one week away.

I Can bring buns.

Hey this may be a rookie question but do you guys air down your tires ? If so how much?

[specialk]

You bet...  how much really depends on your rims (width too) and tires and who you can bribe to help fill up them up at the end of the run.   Looks like you have some pretty large rims for 33's.  I would say try 16-20 psi with that set up?   Anyone else got some insight? 

I would go down 12-15 psi with 16" rims (10 wide) on 35's.  With beadlocks, 4 psi is the bomb :-)

Okay that what I figured, is there devices you can buy to air dont before a rin? If so are they expensive?  And do alot of ppl carry on bord compressors? And I have nitrogen in my tires right now

You don't need any special tools to air down your tires; just a gauge. Airing them back up is the harder part! Small 12v compressors can be had for cheap but are designed more for emergencies as they'd take a long time to fully refill all 4 tires. I would love to take a look at some more serious OBA setups if some members have something installed. Pretty cool, but overkill for me.
Unfortunately I doubt you're going to able to refill with nitrogen if you air down, but mixing in some atmospheric air shouldn't really be a dealbreaker

75% of the air we breath is Nitrogen

[Bowser]

Okay I will one of those up then, and maby look into OBA in the future as well
