Installed my waterport, finally almost having this thing where I want it to be as far as organization and storage goes.

My household Harbor Freight air compressor died on me after 4 years. I had to use my Bronco's on-board air compressor to top off the Wife's Jaguar tires after this cold rainy front came through. I guess I'll be on the hunt for a good quality air compressor for the garage.

Anybody have experience with California Air Tools? I'm looking for something quieter than a Cummins powered garbage truck this time around.

ha. I end up doing that same thing quite often. It's just more convenient than pulling out my craftsman compressor from the back of the garage.

Capacity and is it pressurized?

Capacity and is it pressurized?

This one is 5 gallon and can be pressurized through your hose, a compressor or with the pump cap. I haven't filled it yet with the whole hose setup yet (they include a regulator that limits it to 30 psi) but plan on trying it this weekend. My other setup is a 5 gal jerry can with an electric pump which also works well but i didn't want to run a standard 5 gal on this truck because of how difficult it is to package.

I have this specifically for tires & sports equipment, works awesome, and shares batteries & chargers with my other Makita tools.

This spring my Cambell Hausfeld, I’ve owned since the 90’s, decided it was time to let go of the bearings inside the electric motor, started squealing like a stuck pig. I killed the breaker and broke the news to my wife that we need a new compressor. She responded with “Can’t you fix it???? You fix everything”. I replied with if the parts are available I can try.

Of course, as it turned out, the only thing discontinued was the motor. I found a vendor that listed the motor specs. Found one that fit the bill and purchased it. Compressor has been running like a top ever since. Motor was a couple of hundred bucks, a new compressor, same as my old one…….. about a grand. I was glad she talked me into it.

I keep fixing the free HF compressor a friend had given me roughly 8 years ago at this point. (honestly not sure how long he had it before he gave it to me either) I have only changed the compressor switch (a couple times now) the motor oil, and the capacitors once. Got maybe $100 into the compressor at this point. My hope is that when it does finally give up the ghost is that whatever I replace it with will be significantly quieter. (workshop is a residential 2 car here)

We built our house, shop, and chicken coop with this one. Bought it in late 2017. Will run most tools and is portable. Had a 5 gal. Campbell Hausfeld for 15 years before this one.

Installed overhead molle from Turn Off-Road as a place to mount my Starlink mini a little while ago, they also make a nice place for my recovery boards.

Sweet Heritage Bronco Roadster patch that you have. Shame that it is hidden under the panels.

Took a much needed camping trip, explored a couple state parks and game roads, and enjoyed the peace and quiet.

Installed the Baja Designs S2 Pro ditch lights.

I am considering the BluMak3D housing for the ditch lights. Any issues with performance or whistling at high speed?

No issues whatsoever. I'd absolutely recommend them.
