Deuce in the sand (pix)

[redjordan]

So I went out to Pismo Beach to the dunes, and met YellowBronc but did not get to spend much time with him.

I aired the deuce down, 15 pounds sucked, so I dropped the back to 3-5 pounds and front at 15 or so, and it mashed up over down around literally anything except for steep dunes.

Didnt get much video or too many pix, but I thought I would share some. Did some intense night time recoveries of drunk fools that buried their trucks.

The black truck with the gay rims was a group of mexicans that got burried in a dune and then blew the radiator or something. winched him out and dragged him to hard sand. his rims were so big even airing down didnt help him with those rubber band tires.

The duece kicks ass. **** yes.

Glad you and Yellowbronc got a chance to hook up. "Gay" doesn't even begin to describe the rims on the black truck. Glad you had a good time. Did you happen to get over to Brad's, downtown Pismo? Did you have any sunshine?

How do you happen to be flying the good ole Confederate flag on your truck?
Didn't know they had migrated that far west.

We keep the southern spirit alive out here, redneck to the max haha. I should post up the rest of the pix without the deuce.

Jonathan, we really did not get a chance to go anywhere, ended up cooking at our campsite, and mobbed pretty much non stop. The duece was running pretty much the whole trip except for the 7 or so hours that we slept.

I broke the battery terminal, so ended up running all day sunday with no batteries or lift pump, and she still ran great. Gotta love the old mechanical diesels.

Cool pics..thanks for sharing. BTW how did you air up before leaving?

 

[redjordan]

I aired up with the onboard air, used a glad hand hose from my buddys peterbuilt. Did not take as long as I expected, left the rpms up around 1500 and went to town, aired up just as fast as a real truck would, my compressor works pretty well.

Nice pics!..

thats awesome!!

You say 3-5 PSI in the rear tires? Just curious how the truck drove. Sounds like you had some great traction. I am collecting data and ideas for my deuce, when I can ever pick it up.

Reason I dont go below 15psi is fear of sending the snap ring flying off.

Looked like good times! Camp Dirtbag is coming soon, looks like you guy's would fit in well.

a chevy being towed go figure

just sayin, no need to air down below 15 #s, under that it is chancy. and that is extreme... NICE PICS!!!!!

Just 1 more reason for me to find a set of the beadlock inserts for my hemmt wheels and 1600's! Awesome pics, wish they let us on the beach around here!

Nice pics!

My father has 20's on his new Silverado. How big is allowed before it's gay?

PHD, I typed stuff about three times, before I decided to be nice, and give him a pass on that one.

 

[redjordan]

yeah, id say 17s are pushing gay on a truck...

at 15psi in the back i was getting crazy wheel hop, at 5, the tires literally were not even half as saggy at the front, from looking at it you could not tell they were aired down in the back, there is so little weight back there. Nowhere near risking the rings flying off in soft sand like this. I would not go this low in mud or other places.

and I am a ford guy, I have ford trucks and a mustang, so needless to say that pic of pulling out the chevy will be posted on other forums too
