Thank you to the SAS directors, volunteers, and sponsors for a great event! What a fun week in the San Juans. We are looking forward to next year.

We have some really cool things starting to show up here at SAS headquarters. Can't wait to see all of you Knucklheads again.

Casey, do you have any more of those beer glasses available?

Oddball diesel question.

At altitude do you expect a 1HZ 40 with altitude comp on the IP to have trouble/smoke excessively?

Jayp2: what results did you end up having at altitude? Did you get smoke? My 1HDT smokes like crazy at altitude when not under load. I would love to solve this issue if you have any suggestions.

I havent yet.....hoping to get the re-rebuild of my 40 done in time to drag it out to SAS10

The question was proactive/trying to guage expectations

Pretty common to get smoke at altitude with older Toyota diesels. My understanding is that direct injection and mechanical fuel pumps with no load are still fueling for the current RPM, but with no air introduced combustion does not happen, and that is why you see the white/blue smoke when going downhill using engine braking. Once you add air/throttle to the mix the combustion cycle happens and black smoke comes out again possibly with a soothing backfire!

That's weird that ya'll were having all these smokey diesel problems. Mine wasn't smoking at all.

Timing is too retarded.

 

[sogncab]

To be fair. I wasn't quite up to operating temp here either.

I seem to recall a nice smoke screen laid down on some jeeps on imogene.

That’s why we put Ben and Travis in the back. To keep the jeeps away

That's a Big Negative GhostRider! They were only available in camp accompanied by some tasty suds compliments of Gamiviti @nakman .

I actually prefer being at the back. I'm not responsible for anyone behind me. I'm slower than a pup poopin' bent up roofing nails as well. So it truly is my proper place in the universe.

Chris and I were contemplating the would be joys of having twenty four inches of suspension. 40's on beadlocks at about 7psi, and 600hp. Screw you guys, I'm going home.

For those of you who are anxious about next year's dates, please relax some. KOA is giving us access to the whole campground for registration up to a certain date that will be several months away. You won't miss out or be denied a spot at KOA Ouray as long as they are available. Something like 190+ campsites are there. Having a reservation doesn't guarantee SAS 9 registration.
Those of us who organize this annually are enjoying a little downtime and discussing plans for SAS 9.
That being said next years Solid Axle Summit will be August 4-8 2025.
There will be an announcement and hints for #9 registration on this thread sometime after the new year. So be watching as usual.
Enjoy the rest of your summer folks and keep sharing cool content from your time at SAS 8.

[reddog90]

Just to confirm, we can't actually book at the KOA until after we register for SAS9 early next year?

 

[Mesa Woman]

I will post how this will be handled by the KOA as soon as we are ready to. I will post on this thread in the next few days.
Thanks for your patience.

That's a Big Negative Ghostwriter! They were only available in camp accompanied by some tasty suds compliments of Gamiviti @nakman .

I somehow lost custody of my beer glass by the end of the week. Thanks for bringing those, Tim! Think that was the first time I pumped a keg since like '91. Sunny times.

USPS () makes us ask for all our PTO at the beginning of the year, so this is helpful. Thank ya’, sir!
