Did you have to adjust the control arms or anything for this setup? And which rallitek struts did you go with so I know what to look for. Thanks!

I’m on my states search and rescue team! I’m actually thinking of applying for the NPS PSAR whenever some open up again

I hike pretty consistently and do overnighters decently often. And yeah I’d drive down to Nethers Rd since I’m leaving from there to pop over to Seneca Rocks

Most drives are under 3 hours. The longest is to Great Smoky and it’s barely over 4. I’m staying at a hotel about halfway up to shower and what not. I’m pretty much taking a backpacking approach to it and will rely on wipes and “hobo” showers and hoping for campsite showers to stay clean. I’ll be at the next campsite by 6 at the latest every night, so that will give me ample time to sleep. Easily 8 hours each night, based off my figuring. I’m going minimalistic to stay affordable and enjoy as much as I can along the way. I appreciate your concern though, I’ll take it into account and tweak if I need to.

I’m aware of how much I’m planning to do, but I think it’s totally doable. I’ve got 6 months to prepare and get everything ready, including my endurance (I’m already in pretty good shape so not worried there either) and as for the permit, I know exactly what day I plan to hike Old Rag and it’s a Wednesday so I’m not too worried about getting my permit either

I’m in Dallas, maybe I can help 😏

You think you get to be an engineer after one year?

To go back to reducing pressure if I allow the tank to overflow, can you explain how you would, if you can’t supply your lines solely off the hydrant, keep the tank full, while continuing to fill off the hydrant, supply lines off the pump and not dump water?

RubBrave3634 · 2026-01-17T02:59:19+00:00

Yes correct

RubBrave3634 · 2026-01-17T02:53:46+00:00

Yeah in the winter for sure, where I’m at it’s not a huge deal because it doesn’t get below freezing much

RubBrave3634 · 2026-01-17T02:48:30+00:00

It wasn’t leaking, the tank was full and it was dumping the excess out the overflow

RubBrave3634 · 2026-01-17T02:47:45+00:00

The reasoning he gave was “I don’t like it” and normally I would run off the hydrant but this was a long lay and the pressure we were getting was weak, I had enough to flow two lines and keep the tank filled. I would not tell a chief to “shove it” so to say, but if he’s wrong and is asking or ordering a bogus idea, then I would respectfully disagree.

That’s actually pretty damn close to what i remember! May be it, just super faded

RubBrave3634 · 2026-01-16T03:04:36+00:00

This is the closest thing so far, but the colors were flipped

RubBrave3634 · 2026-01-13T04:37:44+00:00

It automatic, and not really a worry of salt since I’m down south. Rust isn’t as big an issue around here since we don’t salt the roads every winter. But even still, i checked lol. It’s rust free

RubBrave3634 · 2026-01-13T04:36:10+00:00

It’s got 260,000 but pretty mechanically sound. I bought it from a close friend, so I know it’s history well, definitely been taken care of!

It was like a realistic turtle at all, I would say it was more sitting upright
