A few weeks ago I extended my trip to pick up my son from college and we were able to fit in 4 days at Moab. Over the last year I have built up my rig and wanted to take it on some more difficult trails. We ended up running Fins and Things, Dome Plateau, Seven Mile Rim, and the first part of...
I notice it mostly on a specific set of speed bumps I drive over every day in my neighborhood. They are longer speed bumps that you can take around 15mph- so they aren't a harsh bump, but the do cause the truck to compress and rebound in a way that I can feel my tail wiggle a bit left and...
Nope, we ended up spending 4 days in Moab and ran a few trails there- Fins and Things, Dome Plateau, Seven Mile Rim, and the beginning section of Rose Garden Hill (we didn't attempt the climb). The cruiser did great!
Running all of the BDRs is still on my list but I didn't feel comfortable...
Just a quick update- it looks like we're going to stay for a few days longer in Colorado (west of denver) and in Moab and hit some of the trails there (Fins and Things, Dome Plateau) and will decide after those trails if we need to get home more quickly (through SLC) or meander further west and...
Sounds good to me! Have you run it before or offer any suggestions on which segments are better than others?
Leaning towards starting in Tonopah and going north, still working on the dates.
I'm passing through Nevada May 15-18 on my way back to Seattle and was thinking of hitting one of the Nevada BDR segments on our way back home. I was thinking of segments 1, 2 or jump on segments 3 and 4. Probably just 2 days on the trails (Camping for 2-3 nights).
I've driven most of the WA...
A couple of years ago I installed BP-51 with 2723 rear springs and with this modest lift, I noticed the both the tail-wag and the rear axle was shifted to the passenger side by about 0.75in. I installed a Dobinson adjustable panhard to re-center the rear axle. (The tail wag was still noticeable...
Also, here's a thread about the "wiggle" that the 80 folks have fixed with a bracket and explains how that helps. (Check it out if you haven't seen it yet.) And the embedded youtube video is really good and helping visualize the issues with the geometry...
I'm interested in what you find out, too. I have also not yet found nirvana with my BP-51 setup. It all started with the bouncy/floaty rear end and that side to side motion that was noticeable enough to me to try and fix. Here's some of my experiences with the BP-51 in case it helps you or...
Well, I may have answered my own question, looks like android boots from ROM (and may then transfer to an Embedded MultiMediaCard (eMMC) built in (and not simply stored on a removable/user serviceable/cloneable SDcard). (Plus many devices have integrity checking on boot up, image validation...
Cool, thanks! From Nifty City website it looks like they support more apps than EC Offroad and I suspect it's because Android 9 (vs 8). Which makes me wonder... I'm curious if you cloned the boot up SDCard of the nifty city unit if it would work in the EC Offroad unit... (I am guessing the...
I also have the EC offroad unit so am curious on the Android version of this one. (It looks like you may have posted it in a photo but then deleted it for security reasons (or it's just not showing on my pc)). Could you (re)list the android version that is included with the Nifty City model?)...
I am exploring this extension with a local shop as well. I'm running a modest lift with the BP51 setup and the "wag" (good description!) is very noticeable to me. Earlier on in my journey to solve it, I swapped out the stock panhard bar for for an adjustable bar, but the wag is still there and...
Lots of options, for sure. Sharing what I did and am pretty happy with. I used the slee mounting bracket for the compressor and installed the tank further front behind the grill. Installed quick connect air couplings fore and aft. I am pretty happy with the results. Plus there is a bit of room...
Thanks for the detailed answers to some of our questions- we're all very excited to try out the new unit. Curious, though, what is the "Radio Area Setting"? Is there some sort of tuner access via the new unit interface or is that for some sort of RDS decoding?
Thanks for adding /reminding me to this thread. Ran tahuya with Avants Offroad last year (And Naches trail) and would love to get out with other local LC folks. And just see how you've all configured your rigs.
Nice to meet you, and looking forward to perhaps seeing you on an outing or sharing notes. Love the brown/black combo, but I might be biased.
p.s. I must have missed the message about the roo bar ;)
I'll chime in here as well. The Carlinkit works amazing so far. As far as I can tell it is a bypass of the zlink software the ships with the EC Offroad unit. There are a number of different versions of the carlinkkit so be sure to get the wireless one, the one greynolds linked above. I drove...
