Subject: Homebuilt CO2 help *** READ THIS! ***
Jay/all,
I have built two CO2 systems in the last couple of months.
First,
1. RUNNING CO2 WILL NOT ROT OUT YOUR RIMS AND TIRES. CO2 has the same thermal expansion as air, and has no more water content than the outside air. As amateer of fact, compressed air from a service station or your home air compressor has A LOT MORE water vapor than CO2. What confuses some people is the frost that develops on the OUTSIDE of the tank and fittings while using the system. The CO2 is stored under pressure as a liquid. As the CO2 is released from the tank, it absorbs thermal energy from the surrounding air, and becomes a gas. This cools the surrounding air, and the OUTSIDE of the tank, and the water vapor from the OUTSIDE AIR condenses and forms water and ice on the outside of the system. It's basic Chemestry. All matter exists in one of four states.
1. solid
2. liquid
3. gas
4. plasma
Energy is absorbed to go "up" (solid to liquid ...)to the next level, and energy is released to go "down" from one level to the next (gas to a liquid ...).
IT IS OK TO RUN YOUR AIRTOOLS ON CO2. Just remember to add a few drops of oil to the tool (as always, right?) before you start.
Second,
YES, some racers use DRY Nitrogen in their tires instead of CO2 for better wheel and tire balance at excessive speeds. You can buy "dry" Nitrogen. Dry Nitrogen is more expensive. CO2 WILL YIELD MORE GAS VOLUME THAN NITROGEN at a given pressure in the same size cylinder. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE AS FOUR WHEELERS WANT. This enables us to run air tools and fill up our large tires without running out of compressed air. Nitrogen expands at a higher rate than CO2 . . . Who cares?
As far as Jay's fitting question, Which regulator did you buy? If you bought one with guages (like those for welding), you spent extra cash. I have been using 100 PSI and 125 PSI single stage regulators that I get from a welding supply store that is preset at a given pressure. I paid $25.00 for each of them. I have heard that you can also find these regulators at party supply stores. They use them for filling up Helium balloons. They have a spring loaded valve that is preset at a certain pressure, and do not have guages.
I have not seen a regulator that has flared fittings. Most regulators have tapered pipe thread fittings (1/4" MNPT). Home Depot and most hardware stores will have reducers,adaptors, and couplings for what you need.
The extreme cold will not effect the quick disconnects. Make sure you have the same kind of quick disconnect for both the male and female pieces, otherwise you will have a leak. There are different profiles ot the rib on the end of the male connector. The easiest way I have found to match them up is on the Amflo brand of fitting, they have a groove machined on the end of the fitting by the knurled part. These fittings have either one or two grooves depending on the profile. A matched set of quick disconnects will have the same number of grooves.

Thanks John R. Actually, I just bought a new welder and am using CO2 as my shield. I bought a regulator that I could dial down to 10psi for welding and up to 125psi for airing up tires. This way it can double as both. And for those welding pros out there, yes, I realize CO2 is not as good a shield as CO2/Argon mix. But CO2 is adequate for what I weld and it can be doubled as a tire inflator. =)
Thanks again to John and all for the replys. I think I will start the hunting/trial-and-error method. Eventually I will get it right!

I have one that you can use... but it came from a standard TJ with D44. Do
you know how long you need the driveshaft to be? I can go out and measure
mine and we can see if it will work.

It's a fairly simple fix to box the brackets in 1/4" plate. OR Fab has done this on many TJ's in the group. Bill Mish could probably take care of it too.

After looking into it further, it looks like the holes in the
brackets that hold the lower arms to the frame are "egg" shaped
(oval). It appears as though the arms have been moving in these
brackets quite a bit.
Has anybody else had this problem?
I'm thinking that if I go to some shop and have them weld some
reinforcement peices to the brackets and get longer bolts, this might
solve the problem. I don't want this to be a temporary fix though.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Regarding what pressure to run at, it depends on your wheel width.. 12.50
tires mounted on 15 x 8's have to be run at a lower pressure than 12.50
tires mounted on 15 x 10, to get full tread width contact.

Subject: Not enough time...
All,
Sounds like everyone had a good time this weekend. Its nice to get out and
enjoy the outdoors. I wanted to let you all know how the website
enhancements were coming and what I've been doing lately that's keeping me
off the trails.
The website: Things have been progressing a little slow. I've been wrapped
up learning new technologies (VisualStudio.Net) and haven't had alot of time
to work on it. However things are slowing down a bit, so hopefully I'll get
alot of the changes done and uploaded so that you all may take advantage of
their functionality. (Product/Vendor reviews/comments, Classifieds, Tech
section, etc...) Meanwhile, it has come to my attention that we have
duplicate profiles. If anyone wishes to have a duplicate profile removed,
just let me know.
What I've been up to: We'll I've been busy working on my Jeep, which is why
it hasn't been on any trails recently. First I added a 1 1/4" body lift,
that was pretty easy. Next I lifted the engine 1", which took some time, as
I had to modify the custom motor mounts that my dad originally built. Next
I clocked the transfercase so that it sits more level, and then raised the
tranny/transfercase up about 1/2" from where it was. This allows me to run
a skid plate that is almost flat, the only part that hangs down is the 1
1/2" cross member and the transfercase (also 1 1/2") I've just about
completed the cross member, and will be working out how the skid plate will
tie in. I figure on adding angled "runners" to strengthen the skid plate
and help lift the Jeep over rocks so that it doesn't get hung up on the
cross member. I hope to have everything back together after next weekend.
I also trimmed the rear fenders so that I can fit 35" tires under it (anyone
have some for sale? CHEAP?) :) I'm also playing in an adult Hockey league
(C - Intermediate), which my team just played and won their first game last
night (5-4); I even got a goal, and completely screened the goalie on
another goal.
Later,
- Mike

Thunderbird cylinder in Phoenix near the airport. They supply all the welding supply stores in the valley. You may not get any better price on tanks and refills, but they are the MAIN storage yard for all the cylinders the welding stores get. You will almost always be able to get a new or near new aluminum CO2 cylinder for the normal exchange price ($8.00 for 10 lb CO2).
They are in the business white pages, or the yellow pages under gas.

Well, I was down at OR-Fab this morning getting some input on trussing up my
front D30. They weld an I-Beam (for lack of a better term) along the top of
it. I believe they can do it for the D35 as well. Give Wayne or Mark a
call @ 602-749-0558 for a quick answer (OK....so with Wayne, there is no
such thing as a quick answer....and that is why I keep going back!)

I have taken my kids several times into Mexico without problems. They are 2

Subject: Homebuilt CO2 help *** READ THIS! ***
Jay/all,
I have built two CO2 systems in the last couple of months.
First,
1. RUNNING CO2 WILL NOT ROT OUT YOUR RIMS AND TIRES. CO2 has the same thermal expansion as air, and has no more water content than the outside air. As amateer of fact, compressed air from a service station or your home air compressor has A LOT MORE water vapor than CO2. What confuses some people is the frost that develops on the OUTSIDE of the tank and fittings while using the system. The CO2 is stored under pressure as a liquid. As the CO2 is released from the tank, it absorbs thermal energy from the surrounding air, and becomes a gas. This cools the surrounding air, and the OUTSIDE of the tank, and the water vapor from the OUTSIDE AIR condenses and forms water and ice on the outside of the system. It's basic Chemestry. All matter exists in one of four states.
1. solid
2. liquid
3. gas
4. plasma
Energy is absorbed to go "up" (solid to liquid ...)to the next level, and energy is released to go "down" from one level to the next (gas to a liquid ...).
IT IS OK TO RUN YOUR AIRTOOLS ON CO2. Just remember to add a few drops of oil to the tool (as always, right?) before you start.
Second,
YES, some racers use DRY Nitrogen in their tires instead of CO2 for better wheel and tire balance at excessive speeds. You can buy "dry" Nitrogen. Dry Nitrogen is more expensive. CO2 WILL YIELD MORE GAS VOLUME THAN NITROGEN at a given pressure in the same size cylinder. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE AS FOUR WHEELERS WANT. This enables us to run air tools and fill up our large tires without running out of compressed air. Nitrogen expands at a higher rate than CO2 . . . Who cares?
As far as Jay's fitting question, Which regulator did you buy? If you bought one with guages (like those for welding), you spent extra cash. I have been using 100 PSI and 125 PSI single stage regulators that I get from a welding supply store that is preset at a given pressure. I paid $25.00 for each of them. I have heard that you can also find these regulators at party supply stores. They use them for filling up Helium balloons. They have a spring loaded valve that is preset at a certain pressure, and do not have guages.
I have not seen a regulator that has flared fittings. Most regulators have tapered pipe thread fittings (1/4" MNPT). Home Depot and most hardware stores will have reducers,adaptors, and couplings for what you need.
The extreme cold will not effect the quick disconnects. Make sure you have the same kind of quick disconnect for both the male and female pieces, otherwise you will have a leak. There are different profiles ot the rib on the end of the male connector. The easiest way I have found to match them up is on the Amflo brand of fitting, they have a groove machined on the end of the fitting by the knurled part. These fittings have either one or two grooves depending on the profile. A matched set of quick disconnects will have the same number of grooves.

Thanks John R. Actually, I just bought a new welder and am using CO2 as my shield. I bought a regulator that I could dial down to 10psi for welding and up to 125psi for airing up tires. This way it can double as both. And for those welding pros out there, yes, I realize CO2 is not as good a shield as CO2/Argon mix. But CO2 is adequate for what I weld and it can be doubled as a tire inflator. =)
Thanks again to John and all for the replys. I think I will start the hunting/trial-and-error method. Eventually I will get it right!

After looking into it further, it looks like the holes in the
brackets that hold the lower arms to the frame are "egg" shaped
(oval). It appears as though the arms have been moving in these
brackets quite a bit.
Has anybody else had this problem?
I'm thinking that if I go to some shop and have them weld some
reinforcement peices to the brackets and get longer bolts, this might
solve the problem. I don't want this to be a temporary fix though.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Regarding what pressure to run at, it depends on your wheel width.. 12.50
tires mounted on 15 x 8's have to be run at a lower pressure than 12.50

Subject: Not enough time...
All,
Sounds like everyone had a good time this weekend. Its nice to get out and
enjoy the outdoors. I wanted to let you all know how the website
enhancements were coming and what I've been doing lately that's keeping me
off the trails.
The website: Things have been progressing a little slow. I've been wrapped
up learning new technologies (VisualStudio.Net) and haven't had alot of time
to work on it. However things are slowing down a bit, so hopefully I'll get
alot of the changes done and uploaded so that you all may take advantage of
their functionality. (Product/Vendor reviews/comments, Classifieds, Tech
section, etc...) Meanwhile, it has come to my attention that we have
duplicate profiles. If anyone wishes to have a duplicate profile removed,
just let me know.
What I've been up to: We'll I've been busy working on my Jeep, which is why
it hasn't been on any trails recently. First I added a 1 1/4" body lift,
that was pretty easy. Next I lifted the engine 1", which took some time, as
I had to modify the custom motor mounts that my dad originally built. Next
I clocked the transfercase so that it sits more level, and then raised the
tranny/transfercase up about 1/2" from where it was. This allows me to run
a skid plate that is almost flat, the only part that hangs down is the 1
1/2" cross member and the transfercase (also 1 1/2") I've just about
completed the cross member, and will be working out how the skid plate will
tie in. I figure on adding angled "runners" to strengthen the skid plate
and help lift the Jeep over rocks so that it doesn't get hung up on the
cross member. I hope to have everything back together after next weekend.
I also trimmed the rear fenders so that I can fit 35" tires under it (anyone
have some for sale? CHEAP?) :) I'm also playing in an adult Hockey league
(C - Intermediate), which my team just played and won their first game last
night (5-4); I even got a goal, and completely screened the goalie on
another goal.
Later,
- Mike

Thunderbird cylinder in Phoenix near the airport. They supply all the welding supply stores in the valley. You may not get any better price on tanks and refills, but they are the MAIN storage yard for all the cylinders the welding stores get. You will almost always be able to get a new or near new aluminum CO2 cylinder for the normal exchange price ($8.00 for 10 lb CO2).
They are in the business white pages, or the yellow pages under gas.

grooves depending on the profile. A matched set of quick disconnects will
have the same number of grooves.

...so who is going to be in Rocky Point this weekend? I will be there
Friday to Monday, and will most likely be hanging out in front of the
Reef, or racing up the hill. Let me know who is going and what your
driving so I can say hello if I see you.

I run my 35" MT/Rs right at 27~28 PSI on the road. So far, so good....but
I've only had them on for two months so I can't say anything about how long
they will last at that pressure.

Subject: [az_vjc] FS Goodyear MT
I have recently upgraded to Goodyear Wrangler MT/R 35x12.5R15 and my
old spare is FS. It is a Goodyear Wrangler MT (old style) 33x12.5R15
in perfect condition (never been used). If any one wants it I am
willing to let it go for $25.
Also can anyone recommend a good air pressur to run my new tires at.
I have them at about 30 lbs right now and still dont have full tread
width contact with the ground.
Thanks,

Subject: Rocky Point question?
My wife and I are planning to go to Rocky Point this
weekend (F-M), but cannot get a sitter for our two
kids, 1yr and 6 yrs. Anyone know if it would be ok to
bring them along? We have never been to Rocky Point
before and I was just wondering if it is an OK place
for kids to be and if anyone else was bringing their
little ones? We are in Yuma and would have to drive
all the way to Phoenix for a sitter....long trip just
to drive back to the border! We are really looking
forward to getting away. Let me know your opinions
please.

Well, I was down at OR-Fab this morning getting some input on trussing up my
front D30. They weld an I-Beam (for lack of a better term) along the top of
it. I believe they can do it for the D35 as well. Give Wayne or Mark a
call @ 602-749-0558 for a quick answer (OK....so with Wayne, there is no
such thing as a quick answer....and that is why I keep going back!)

I have taken my kids several times into Mexico without problems. They are 2
and 4 1/2 years old now. I would bring along birth certificates and
passports and you shouldn't have any problems. As with taking your kids
anywhere just keep within arms reach. Rocky Point will be quite the
adventure for them I am sure, specially with the beach and sand. Take shade
and plenty sun block.

Go to Radio Shack, they have a 50' plug in cord that works great, I used one
of these when we were remodeling the room the putor is in, so I could keep
it on the dedicated phone line.
