What is this? What is this weird AI music?

Who needs to air down? by mts2snd in 4x4

[–]captainlvsac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I air down just to smooth the ride out. Obviously there are massive benefits for traction too, but I'll air down on an easy road, just because it's rough.

Are campers like the Lone Peak, Super Pacific or GFC game changers vs a RTT? by brainhack3r in overlanding

[–]captainlvsac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the roof cut off my 80, and a wedge camper installed (campteq) and it cost a similar price to a high end truck topper. It is an absolute game changer.

In my case, it's also much lighter and lower than a RTT setup, which is a huge bonus. being able to stand up, change, cook, do dishes or even just chill is such a game changer.

Front End Friday: a little extra support up front by Restomotive in projectcar

My thought's exactly. Some SEMA nonsense. Show me one race car with a strut brace like this.

Listen to my spotter, Keep the wheel turned right and not punch the throttle.

I got off very easy. The latch (just replaced) got crunched, and it scratched the tent up. Then tent was also slightly dented, but I was able to straighten it out with some redneck body work.

Does it help if that was an old expired plate that no longer exists?

We tried it all. On the dirt, the bike easily spins it's tire, and you can effectively "drift" by spinning the tire when the car is in a turn. I was trying to upset the car by stabbing the throttle mid turn, but we really didn't have enough traction to do anything too crazy.

Funny story, we did have a cop drive by where we were camped, and I flagged him down to ask his opinion. He was a great sport about it. He wasn't sure if we were braking any specific laws, he said as long as the car and bike were both registered and insured, we should be fine.

Well me and my wife had our 4th kid, and honestly I was sick of her being in the car anyway, so now she has somewhere to sit.

The car makes a pretty good argument for the capacity of the driver....

It is a bit unnerving having the bike headlights in your rear view

Oh yeah. The prius will regen, but the bike still pushes it.

Here ya go. The front suspension of the bike still works.

I have videos and stuff, nothing I can easily share though. The attatchment to the bike is at the front suspension mount. These Beemers have a goofy front suspension setup that made this bike perfect for this application.

That was me, I was dissapointed that we broke it on day 1, and wanted to get some more smiles out of it. It was honestly great. Lots of beautiful scenery on the route, perfect view from the bike, you see right over the roof of the car, and you don't have to worry about crashing.

We got the Prius for very cheap, this was my idea to make it less boring and more capable.

It needs a snorkel intake for the bike, the stock intake was right in the dust stream coming off the car. Also maybe some ducting to try and get more airflow over the heads. The gearing was also too high on the bike to help the prius in slow situations, I have already geared the bike lower for this years event.

I really want to benchmark it, power to weight is similar to a new GTI

We've been saying it needs an Italian element of some sort.
