Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining.
I just did Death Valley a few weeks ago and took Steele Pass from the Dunes, then up Lippencott, then Hunter Pass, it was fine but like mentioned the Washboard at the top and bottom of Lippencott is more brutal than I've seen out there and I actually broke an OME rear shock eye clean off. I was hoping to go fast enough to "float" over it but there was no floating over that lolView attachment 864994
Wow! The snow levels must be very low if Hunter Mt. is clear.

I had the same question - had planned to use flexible lines , but have seen most installs use copper hard lines. Are there specific reasons for the hard lines?
So, after much research, if you use properly rated hose, UL 21CGA, with 3/8" ID for enough BTUs, you'll be fine. So, thats what I am going to do. I'll mount the regulator in a hobby box that can be sealed off from the elements, and a QD on the outside, and that should be good.

Great info, thanks!

Curious how aired down were you and what tire load rating were you running. I had a terrible drive on Hole in the Rock Road last year with my icon shocks turned totally soft and my E rated tires at like 22-24, which is about as low as I like to go on non sandy surfaces. Usually can speed plane over the washboards, with my set up and it helped a bit, but not that much, course not much helps for REALLY bad washboards. I shoulda slowed waaaaay down, but it was a very long road . . .

I have C rated 31.5 tires and was aired down to 25. It was just to rough to tame with any setup probably. Maybe a trophy truck could get over 20mph w/o drama lol

It’s about a 20 mile stretch through Saline Valley that is really bad. I’m on E-rated Falken Wildpeaks, aired down to 19psi. I have a combination of Ironman struts, Icon RXT leaf springs and Fox 2.0 shocks. Slowing down to 5-7mph was the only thing that didn’t rip my truck and camper completely apart
