Viair constant duty onboard air system any my eventual solution

[BigJ]

Cool deal. If I ever go with a CO2 setup, I'll have to get with you on the location of that shop.

Fixed the pic (I hope)

It is of a really expensive compressor. Unlike what Dan was looking at it does not run off of a belt. I tend to prefer electrical as opposed to hydraulic or mechanical systems as they work when your engine does not...

You can use it with a tank, but it puts out enough air that you can run a small impact without one...

Basically if you air down you will be about to tire 20 before it goes into protect mode (again assuming it takes you 20 seconds to get from wheel to wheel). Or to put it another way... all y'all non-driving fools would be able to air back up in 30 or so mins.

Dan you've found a shop that will actually fill your 10# tank on the spot while you wait? Not just swap for a new tank, or send your tank off for inspection and fill (usually resulting in a 7 day turn around time)? I believe there's a local (to me) fire prevention company that will do it for 5# tanks, but nothing larger.

Andy, where do you go to get your tank refilled? While you wait type deal or do they trade?

As for speed... unless all yer buddies fill up as fast as you do, whats the hurry? Gonna be waiting on them no matter what, eh? With a compressor, you can help 'em thereby speeding up the whole process... and not worry about running out of air for yourself

Jason, my buddy up in San Jose has a Power Tank and he goes to a local shop (3 minutes from him) that fills tanks for soda (carbonics) and they charge $15 to fill his 10# tank while he waits. If you want the info I can get it for you.

I'm not saying a tank is better than a compressor/tank solution or it's not. I do think it's a great solution and I love the idea of being able to add 20 psi to a tire in about 30 seconds. :thumbsup:

Oh and WHAT TRUCK did you drive on the track at the Las Vegas event??? Oh yeah, that's right you kept your truck in the parking lot afraid it was going to break.

Oh wait, and who was the guy who engineered some gay ass magnetic sheeting so your "GARAGE QUEEN" wouldn't get scratched on the mojave road. (it wasn't me)

Check your own thread Sandman....http://www.svtoffroad.com/showthrea...Afton-Canyon-Rasor-OHV-Area-2010-09-18-amp-19

See that blue one there, yeah that's at the top of the hill.



That is MY truck AT THE TOP with the rest of you.

It wasn't luck, the rest of you guys kept driving UP the hill to turn around in the sand.

FACT: you were the one to get your XXXL drawers in a hissy fit and started whining about "I'm so mad at Brian for leading us up this hill, blah blah blah" and wanting to go home early from the trip because you sweated too much from digging your truck out (actually it was Brian who did most of the work!)

I don't know what Viper Alley has to do with any of this, nor do I see the amusement in bringing my wife into this conversation or alleging I cheated on her when it's obvious the quote I made is from a movie.

FACT: you didn't drive forward because you watched us do it and get stuck.

I guess you feel like I peed in your Cheerios as I can only assume you're upset because I mentioned your wife. I meant no disrespect to her - if you re-read it you'll see I was responding to your claim about you being a winner because you didn't get stuck and winners "go home and **** the prom queen."

So you called me out for not driving my Raptor on the track in Vegas because I was driving Ford's 6.2 and riding in the VORE truck, etc. You said I'm afraid of "breaking my truck" - when you go on a 3-day Jeep trip over rock waterfalls in Death Valley, let me know. I have a black Raptor with scratches and scrapes in places I couldn't protect while I worked hard to save the finish with a costly, creative, and time-consuming solution that you call "gay".

And for the rest of this, my size, my "hissy fit", my "whining" and "Brian doing most of the work", me talking about not staying over Saturday night, etc., let's end this here as no good will come from this.

FACT: I didn't drive forward because there was a ****ing drop off in front of us. Oh and don't forget I WAS THE ONE WHO SPOTTED YOUR ASS DOWN THE SAND BERM WHILE YOU REVERSED SO YOU DIDN'T GET STUCK AGAIN!!! LOL, such short term memory!!

Haha, you are a total joke Dan. You are just butthurt you got stuck in the sand. Me think you protest too much!

Hear that everyone, that's Dan's ego shattering.

There was NO REASON to mention my wife period, nor was there any reason to joke about me cheating on her. Joke or no joke that is chicken**** regardless of how many smiley faces you put in a post. Capiche?

You have mentioned on more than one occasion that my truck is a garage queen. The difference between my truck and yours is that mine isn't damaged from running it on a jeep excursion or by pilot error! It still has an exhaust, working windows and an intact windshield. LOL

A garage queen wouldn't go off road, nor would it jump a track in Vegas (I would have used the dealer's trucks like you did if I was afraid to damage my truck....I guess that speaks volumes)...but....it did! Yours did not.

Oh, mine didn't get stuck in sand either....yours did....GET OVER IT!

I wouldn't go on a 3 day "JEEP" trip running over rock waterfalls with my Raptor because frankly it's just something it's not designed to do. That's why, in your words, it's a JEEP trip. You damaged your truck. If you think its cool to have a $46,000 truck with a sawed off hack job exhaust, more power to you!

You "worked hard" to save your Raptor's finish??? Ok, well I work JUST as hard for my "garage queen"!

As for your hissy fit, I must have hit a nerve because YOU were ready to pack it in early because of the sand trap incident.

Remember you are the one who cast this stone first, not me.

Oh and the next time you and your better half wonder why my wife won't go on these trips with me....well I guess you've got your answer! She reads these threads too!!

Those York (and the IMHO better Tecumseh) compressors are available by the thousands in auto junk yards. They were used for A/C compressors on many cars and trucks. They make great air compressors. I rigged one up to an electric motor and made a nice quiet home air compressor out of "junk" parts years ago. The only PITA was the clutch runs on 12v, not 110v.

Someone could use a 12v motor and make a good 12v electric compressor fairly cheap if you really want to... you'd need a pretty beefy motor but they are not impossible to find.

Damn, nice meltdown you two! Is there something else you guys aren't talking about that happened up on Brokeback Mtn?

Thanks Dan. Yeah if you don't mind, shoot me a PM with the info.

Dan... Tim... enough. These forums are not here to play host to your war. Last time I checked, you both get along really well in person. What is it about a screen and a keyboard?

You both have enormous personalities. And you both are very proud men. Rightfully so.

But, gentlemen, you also both occasionally struggle with interpreting the written word. Try to remember there's no way to convey meaning, other than what is written; there's no eye contact, no body language, no voice inflection, no contextual timing... all of these contribute to "communication" and help someone understand what you mean, not just what you said.
