Flemster's 2000 SR5 Sport

Here is the Powertank setup.

This is Powertank's REG-7000 SuperFlow HPX Regulator Kit designed for being put on your own CO2 tank, kind of a cheaper way to do the whole thing. Quadratec currently has the best deal on these as Poly Performance has better pricing but always out of stock. Quadtratec has them drop shipped from Powertank and it took about 2 weeks for mine to show up.

I then picked up this digital gauge from Amazon because it had promising reviews and was dirt cheap. Hoping it holds up over time, so far works great.

It is an Astro AI digital inflator

I picked up a 20lbs tank from a local Hydroponics shop called Way to Grow for $80 filled which was a steal, they also offer $5 tank swaps as refills. Amazing deal as General Air charges $170 for a tank and $25 for swaps.
 
Dude, that's a great idea! Growers use lots of CO2, and it sounds like competition is strong for CO2 business.

There are many options for Co2 regulators. I ran a regular similar to this one for years, and it worked great. Then you can buy just the Powertank handle for $70 if you want a handle. You'll save right at $100+ minus the air hose.

Hydroponics place was a steal, definitely the way to go.

Hey man what camera do you use and do you edit the photos? They look so good!
Thanks, it is all shot on a Canon 7dmkii and edited in Lightroom by me.

There are, poly performance makes a regulator and power tank has lower quality versions for cheaper but hard to find in stock. The adjustable one definitely costs more and (that I know of) Powertank is the only one who sells an adjustable regulator with dual gauges as a kit unless you pieced everything together yourself which I never looked into.

The one I linked is an adjustable dual gauge regular with better specs than the Powertank brand. It has a higher CFM (45 vs 31), and higher max PSI (250 vs 200). The main difference is you're not paying for the anodizing, and colored gauges. As far as I know those are the only adjustable dual gauge regulars on the market. You can find plenty of fixed regulators, but the market is slim for the adjustable.

Powertank has actually bought out the other company's that had adjustable ones.

I managed to not see your link in the earlier post, thats a screaming deal. Sounds like [MENTION=107971]derpiful[/MENTION] is going to replace his poly regulator for this one so we will be able to compare them head to head. Looks like a great kit for the price. Can't beat pretty anodizing though... especially when it was a present :)

Congratz man, that tank setup is killer. Feeling a little jealous right now and might have to steal your idea... or just force you to air up my tires all the time.
 
Not much crazy stuff going on with the truck recently, been really busy with Rocky Mountain Racks and not thinking about going back to school. Over break, we've done a few local wheeling trips and been out to Steamboat a couple times to ski.

I swapped in Amber dash lights which is something I have wanted to do for a while, ordered everything through Superbrightleds.com which was cool.

Here are some pics from Steamboat.

YEPPPERS
 
School and RMRacks are keeping me busy as per usual so my free time is usually spent working on the runner or using it and not so much writing about it.

So a little update :)

First thing, the FJ Fox 2.0's bit the dust once again (4th time now). Over it.
Picked up some Bilstien 5100's for the 4th Gen. Just about 9" extended so similar travel to the fox's and will honestly probably hold up better. Super cheap as well.

Ill get some pictures of the Fox to throw in here too because I did not take any.

Also installed some Element LED amber Canons and damn are they bright. Probably should not use these on the road haha.

Here are some pictures of the most recent snow run out of Fort Collins. It was deep and it was awesome.

Super rad day, days like these make me pray for snow every year. This year hasn't been to bad and hopefully that leads into a pretty wet summer. No fire bans or wildfires!

MOAB PREP BEGINS NOW!
 
Love the snow wheeling pics, we didn't get any snow again this winter down here. We'll be waiting for the Moab pics!
 
Utah 2019
Pt.1
Well my most recent trip was out to Utah for 8 days. The first 3 of which was spent in Moab. Hung out with the OG Foco crew which is always a freakin blast and love hanging out with everyone. Wish [MENTION=82211]TCMach[/MENTION] could have made it out this year but.... sadly no. Hung with [MENTION=107971]derpiful[/MENTION], [MENTION=78892]Fishwerks[/MENTION], [MENTION=94888]EatonKyleH[/MENTION], [MENTION=88391]NateMob[/MENTION], [MENTION=122219]Twenman4[/MENTION] and a few others.

Showed up in Moab at about 10:30 after an almost 10-hour drive from Fort Collins thanks to traffic. Hung out a little and went to bed as we had to be through River Road by like 8 am because of some marathon. In town by 8 we were on the trail by about 9 which is pretty rare for us. We decided to run Steel Bender.

[MENTION=77671]KyleE[/MENTION]atonH dropping down the bypass for 'The Fall'. I went up this last year and it was sketchy... going down it... extra sketchy. Most people through a strap on the high side and pull it down but we just went for it. Nobody died.

After a great day on the trail, [MENTION=107971]derpiful[/MENTION]'s motor mount had failed once more. But this time it got interesting. As we drove back into town, his truck started making a terrible clunking sound that matched wheel speed. OO he blew a diff. damn. So we thought. We washed his truck and went to start tinkering in the O'Reilly parking lot. Come to find his motor mount actually fell out and jammed itself into the CV axle and the little cutouts for the puller where smashing into the body mount. Got it out, strapped his motor and headed back to camp!

Utah 2019 continued...
Pt.2

The next day we had a bit of a lazy start. We headed into town not really sure what our plan was. Bouncing between Moab Rim and a couple of other trails but everyone settled on Hells Revenge. I've done this trail about 4 times now, but it is always a great time. [MENTION=121903]Black798[/MENTION] and a couple of other Yota guys joined in on the fun.

The first obstacle we had blown up a tire.

This trip was mostly spent shooting video so expect that to be fun! Some other things will need to be updated about this trail run but that will come later.

After this run, i heard the familiar sound of my fan hitting my fan shroud under heavy torque. I was in denial but driver side motor mount let go, just like [MENTION=107971]derpiful[/MENTION]. Great. After strapping that we went to head into town and my steering was alll over the place. Once we got to Milts, I found my Dbushing clamp was completely broken and pried away from the rack. Put a ratchet strap on that as well and sent it for another 6 days in the desert.

Photos look good dude. You and [MENTION=107971]derpiful[/MENTION] will have your trucks covered in ratchet straps from front to back pretty soon.

No kidding! Thankfully Hayden's truck is back together and better than before. Mine, however, is still held together by straps. Getting after it this week, I wanna go camping again haha. Hopefully yours is making progress as well.
