they remind me of mountain bike lights.. cool!

 

yup. just bigger (2 x 2 x 3 inch)

 

got a little frame for my compressor made up



propane tanks have a rating of about 300 psi, and a relief valve at ~280, so i've got a cheap source of air tanks



and the (temporary) electrical hookup

 

excellent re-purposing. another good choice is a pancake type tank from cheaper portable compressors. the motors on those units are cheap and generally burn out really quickly but the tanks are solidly build and come with pressure valves and dials (often can be found really cheap on craigslist).

anyway, nice work!

 

Very cool on the lights... And Compressor Mod

Those lights are pretty bright, eh?

 

thanks! and you actually guessed my next mod with the compressor. i want to fine one, but there's a problem. they are cheap, so when they go bad, they're thrown out all-together instead of listed. i can find them on ebay, but shipping is a ditch. i'm keeping my eyes open, though
each is as bright as a single high-beam

 

i'm up at rausch creek this weekend, an i'm the only toyota here... sigh

 

I wish i was joining you.

 

Not to worry man I will be joining you shortly!

Wowow... That's bright! lol...

Cool on the trip... can't wait for the pics...you'll be like a diamond in the rough out there amongst the Non-Yotatechies! lol.

 

 

Nice, how are the new camping arrangements?

 

about the same, just a bit nicer. they're still trucking in dirt. i'll get pics later.

 

Wish I was there. Have fun.

 

I concur!

 

Hows the compressor working?

 

too much rain to try it out on anything bigger than my stock tires this morning, but it works awesome! it took more time to set it up than to inflate all 4 tires. it's quick and smooth. with larger tanks, it shouldn't run as long.

pics incoming...

 

mmm... flex...
