Topic: What have you done for your Rig lately.

[RBduffer]

Randy, the OBA is great and all, but I'm WAY more impressed that you took pictures and wrote words about those pictures!

Somebody mark this day!

Thanks Steve, your right, that was the toughest part for me.  I don't know how you all have the patience to do it, but I've always appreciated it, and decided to pay it forward in my own humble way

I haven't tried a field test yet, but with the 5 liter tank set to 80# shut off, I have about 30 seconds to get from tire to tire with out a restart.  I can preload the tank to 115 lbs from my home compressor and save a little time there too.

And yes that is my PA horn, I will probably move it soon but for now it'll stay cuz some idiot glued it in place.

Thanks for all the kind words and let me know if you want to try this.


Total cost:
3 year old Tsunami       Kinda free by now

New Tsunami              $50.

Aluminum Tank             40.  Ebay

Pressure sw/manifold     12.

Gauge & check vaulve   17.

Fittings and stuff          40.

Total                       $159.

25 hours in my shop... {Priceless}

For those of us that don't use our back seats, this location is the best!

Didn't do anything to my truck, but I did do a little bit of work on the wife's car. Threw on some wheels and dropped it about 1.5".

That looks great Rick, the 1.5" lowering and wheels fit just right.

4WheelParts finally sent me my Trasharoo and shackles for the rear bumper! I should have some finished photos up soon.

Thanks, I'm past my "slamming" days. Ha-ha

Awesome! Prior to the Mojave Rd. we should meet up and I can use my programming CD to give you all the presets I have. Many are for down this way but we can always put in whatever you want for where you live literally in minutes. You are going to love that radio, super capable and versatile.

After I bought my FT-8800 I learned that it transmits at 50 watts for 2 meter
and 35 watts tops for 70 cm
and I learned that the FT-2900while only 2 meter(probably only use I'll do ) puts out a whopping 75 watts of transmit power.

Whhoo  hhhoooo!!  Lucky you.

Dust lights

Amber, full time
Red, stop
White, reverse

Very nice,
It's a comfort seeing rear lights on the vehicle in front of you, when barreling through the Mojave Dust

[Alex]

Those lights look great Toro, compact but still very visible when in use; are those the Solarblast light units (Lamphus I think)? Did you wire them right to the rear lights?

[Toro]

Close.
    They are Abrams flashers fixed to steady on mode. I went with these over conventional lights because of the torch mode and their size. The brightness was an added bonus.
  They are pretty bright.

[Celt]

Super nice addition!
