    dot approved copper tubing between compressor to air tanks

    I wouldn't think steel would be very good at all coming right off the compressor. With all the moisture coming off the compressor, I'd think the inside of a steel line would rust right away and cause all sorts of problems with rust in the system. The stock line is copper. I'd say plastic DOT...

    dot approved copper tubing between compressor to air tanks

    Just the stuff in the plumbing section at the hardware store is about all you're going to find. It should work fine.

    A system to lift the bows and cover off

    To me, the bows aren't hard to deal with. The cover itself is a nightmare by yourself though. If you could just figure some way to lift the cover off would be a big help.

    Identify this generator

    I'm going to close the thread because it looks like it is becoming a classified ad. Ads aren't allowed in the open forum so the OP needs to start a classifieds ad if he wishes to sell it.

    Mods-clarification when actioning a thread/post

    I really don't understand your problem either. I don't see any locked classified ads. As a practice, mods don't lock classifieds ads. Seeing as how the thread starter is the only one that can post to the ads, we only delete them and even that is a rare occasion other than old ads where the...

    Torch Set Information Needed

    Can you get them filled when marked like that? I know our local welding supply is very picky about filling bottles that doesn't have their name on the collar.

    m936a2 rear drag line winch

    Yes, the rear wrecker winches are a pain to unspool (and just use in general). I've had quite a bit of experience with this winch and can't think of any practical way to add on a free spool, you would more or less have to custom make everything from the drive gear out. Are you winching...

    Locking air chuck suggestions?

    When dealing with these big tires and pressures involved you're never 100% safe. Standard practice in the industry is to use a cage and have the gauge either as a separate device or the gauge mounted close to the chuck. As Castle Bravo has stated, you're relatively safe adding air standing at...

    Locking air chuck suggestions?

    Are you saying you have a regulator on the line to fill tires? If so, remove the regulator and run full pressure on the line, your tires will fill up much faster that way.

    S-280 camper build

    My Buddy in the lighting business came through for me. He found the 24",24V LED tubes for $21 each. Although the shelter is wired for 10 of the florescent lights, I think just three of the LEDs will do me. I know I hotwired in some 120v just to see if the lights worked and half of the bulbs...

    S-280 camper build

    Well I've hit a roadblock on 24v 24" LED tube lights. I have found them in 48" but they want $65 each for them :shock:. I've got a call into my buddy that is in the lighting business but he hasn't came up with anything yet. Anybody know where I can find 24v 24" LED tubes? I have even...

    does anyone know if the govt ran out of surplus trucks to sell

    You do know GovPlanet is selling all the rolling stock now, right? GovPlanet has been selling a bunch of trucks lately.

    questions on buying a hummer?

    Let's keep it civil and steer away from HMMWV title questions. Any info about HMMWV title issues can be found in the sticky I linked to earlier.

    109 box camper conversion pics

    Like you, I'm in the beginning stages of my camper build. I'm using a S-280 shelter for mine. My first order of business is A/C. At least then I can go camping on a cot until I get the rest of it built and not sweat to death.

    questions on buying a hummer?

    I assume you are talking about a HMMWV instead of a Hummer. I'm not very familiar with the platform but I do know the axles are completely different from Chevy trucks. They are so expensive due to supply and demand. There have been a relatively small number released from the military. The...

    You think they'd have this figured out...

    I honestly don't think they purposely mislead people with the descriptions. I just don't think they care enough to make sure it's accurate.

    Stripping an Aluminum comm box

    Just be careful with any dust. Breathing CARC dust is bad. It's a pretty sizable job trying to remove CARC. Is there a reason you can't just paint over it?
