CAROLINA RELIC RUN 2022 - APRIL 6-10th - OFFICIAL INFO THREAD - SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!

[Hokie LX]

Did you change the master cylinder? If you did, make sure to remove any residual valves in the front circuit of the master. As far as the booster goes, I had the opposite issue when I swapped the original booster for a 2nd gen 4runner booster. It would not hold pressure. Turns out the 4runner booster did not have the provision for a check valve from the vacuum line...only a nipple off the booster. I found an inline check valve from a wrecked Lexus car in a junk yard. Installed that and my brakes have been fantastic ever since.

I'll message you so we don't clutter up this thread lol

@jamesurq am I the only one not able to see the campground map or did the image not load?

 

[jamesurq]

It’s there for me, but it could be that it’s just cashed.

Here’s the screen scrape of it

I was never able to see it, thought it was just my security system. Where is the pool? Also, the woods camping area does go way back to cool sites

I loaded my radio with the frequencies from:

So after lots of discussion, a little testing with @GLTHFJ60 and @JohnVee , and a lot of help from @emorth I think we have a plan.

Simple version is ONSC will move from recommending you have a CB to GMRS just like a lot of other clubs and organizations starting at Relic Run 2022. Many of us will have ham radio to supplement/back up the GMRS but communication within the groups will be GMRS.

If you have an older FRS/GMRS handheld that should work fine. If you want to pick up a new radio Midland seems to have some really good options and be ready to go. Motorola and Baofeng/other Chinese radios (new GMRS models) should work too but may need codes turned off or something simple to hear each other.
Short version any GMRS radio should be good including/especially the new higher power mobile options. We're looking forward to testing range on those.

Older Baofeng radios can transmit on GMRS frequencies. There's an FCC type rule your breaking but it happens all the time.
I've attached a Chirp file if you have the programing cable and want to try it. .csc and a .dxf that needs to be renamed .img Website won't let me attach the correct file type.
If you have a Baofeng and no cable there will be a few of us with laptops at Relic Run that can fix you up.

CCLC Motorola radios have the GMRS channels programed in with a code/tone on by default. The chirp file includes those as CLCC 1, CLCC 2, etc. A Midland can talk to those just fine by turning on the code/tone in the chart from post #95. If I understand correctly the Motorolas can also turn off the code/tone with a button on the side and talk to all radios with no tone set.

Relic Run will be the first event trying GMRS and seeing how all the radios work together and what range we get so we'll look forward to seeing how it all goes.

60 is back in action after swapping the stock booster back on so it'll make the trip tomorrow! Still working with City Racer on why the one I was sent isn't working after doing exhaustive adjusting and troubleshooting. Hopefully a replacement will be sent.

Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Bring bug spray. We hope the rain and cooler temps will hold them off, but they were absolutely nuts in camp tonight. All different sizes and kinds.

[roflbox]

On the way from Appalachian State University I’m gonna be hanging out with my buddies but I’ll see y’all at the relic run on Saturday, probably on the trails before then aswell. Can’t wait to ride with y’all

Bedouin blanket fixed 99% of the soft top flapping noise
