I think the carrier pigeon I sent got intercepted by the government.

Well, found snow.  Had a good time.  Goodyear Kevlar mtrs were not as good as I hoped for.

Little birdie told me you didn't air down enough 

[BigBluePile]

Had them down to 15 and then about 12 ish.  Still didn't even look like they were even bled out.  Guess I'll let all the air out next time....lolz

mine hook up at 8psi in the snow 

[BigBluePile]

Nice.  Well, I'll try it lower next time.  For the most part they did ok and as long as I had the momentum, I chugged along.

You want to be at 2 to 3 psi for that type of snow.

[BigBluePile]

Interesting.   Had a good time and being prepared made for shenanigans always makes the day smoother. 

We got pretty dang far though!

My buddy is buddies with one of the guys you went with. He was showing me pictures of them up there and I immediately saw your truck.

My buddie's name is Brian. He drives a long travel 2nd gen Tacoma. Don't know who his buddy is. Probably a guy with a Tacoma.

Hmmmm....no idea.  Anywho, it was a lot of fun.  I haven't been in that much snow in a very long time

So, I did some electrical troubleshooting the other day.  Looks like I have about and 1/8 amp draw.  May not sound like enough but it's enough.  Once I located the three main drains I still had a draw.  I cannot seem to zero out the flow however.....

Haven't had a chance to install my new hawse factor 55 fairlead.  I also picked up a 30' synthetic winch rope extension and synthetic shackles.

How are you measureing the draw. Meter I assume, but from where to where. Just Checking......
Max draw spec is 50 milliamps for any vehicle.
I can help You. I know a bit about amps, Ohms, and Oh Yeh..... Volts.
Why have have you never wheeled with us before?

Two part question....

First part, 10amp DC on my multimeter.  Then I did a voltage drop check on every fuse in my rig.  Then it started raining and I stopped at that point.  What I assumed was that I could get the reading down to zero.....

Second part, I'm selfish .

Happy snow shut everything down because people in WA can't handle the snow day.....

With the capability of the drivers around here it's honestly best if they shut everything down. I had fun driving around this morning before everything turned to slush.

Went to replace my roller fairlead with my new Factor55 hawse one and it won't work.....without a little modification.   Of course.   So, know I have to pull the winch, modify the bumper and bore out the mounting holes on the fairlead a smidgen.

Maybe give some additional info?
Looks like you broke down at a
rest stop?

Blew the rear end on the way to work.  Now, I have an excuse to build my high pinion elocker for the front.

Got most the parts I should need to build my HP front elocker.  Justdifferentials.com was awesome and super quick plus free shipping!   Went ahead and ordered 29 spline stuff.  Apparently, that's a thing.  I'm excited to install this and see my driveline angles. 

Also, ordered a ~$20 headlight relay conversion harness and installed it.  Super quick and plugged right in.

So did you break on the bridge or pull over before crossing?

I was heading south over the bridge, pulled over to check on things.  I was hearing a suspect noise.  Went to leave and that's when it went boom.
