CSC December Meeting Agenda 12.20.2013

[Cdaniel]

FYI in the spirit of complete accuracy, the engine driven compressor was a Harrison R4. Not a York. A York Would have probably performed better.

The York was the faster without question but also the most costly to set up on an 80. More then $500 based on threads on MUD Also noted the engine powering the York was at idle. Raising the engine RPM will increase the performance even more This set-up is FAST!

The Extreme air was a little faster then the PUMA and being waterproof gives you a lot of mounting options. The Extreme air set up is also more then $500

The PUMA although slower then the others it is clearly the best value at under $300 set up. The PUMA requires the least amount of work and installation challenges to get a working set up. YMMV

As for air up times by second, typical CSC fashion the data and test condition was not 100% perfect. The entertainment value watching the testing unfold was high.

In closing they all will air up your tires in under ~10min and have solid history for performance and reliability. Each has there pros and cons picking what works best is a choice each person needs to make based on there needs and ability to set up.

Side note: I will admit after seeing the speed of the York I wanted one! If someone offered a York bolt-in kit for $500 I would be all in but after a couple hours of reading Yorks in 80 threads the Puma will continue to be my choice.

Would you pay $500 for a York bolt-in kit after seeing it perform?

Very fast indeed.

I really like the waterproof and out of site model but the price was more than double the Puma price.

Thanks Don for making your show truck the test mule.

No stir intended, merely looking for a report for those who do not attend. Just seen a few items on the agenda not in the report.

Asking for attendance ratio to total number of members is not the same as merely looking for a report for those who do not attend.

In summary
Tony didn't see the results. I had no way to know Tony didn't see the results. I asked why he needed that info. Tony clarified the results didn't come out in his computer. Tony finally saw results when quoted . Just a big misunderstanding .
If you cant see results, just ask where they are posted.
Merry Christmas all. get out , wheel, friends family, and most of all be safe and happy

Well said Don. If you can't see results, just ask where they are posted.

Jackson, now that I see the meeting minutes did you have a ratio of members at the meet?

The owners first comment was I thought I was the only one with one of these

Well of course, he's driving a WHITE one...

We had 18 vehicles at the meeting despite of the rain at the beginning of the meeting. The break down is:

• FJ40 - 1
• FJ62 – 1
• FJ80/FZJ80 – 14
• FJC - 2

  I move that 80s need to be sub-categorized:
  
  Color;
  Snorkel;
  Lockers;
  Etc.

I move that 80s need to be sub-categorized:

Agreed. Two of those 80s were 3FEs.
