I got an air compressor from my g/f's Dad's garage after he passed away several years ago. It's withstood a few moves, survived a couple of summers of farm duty.... and went south this morning. Started it up this morning to use an air gun, it ran for a couple of minutes, went <SNAP> while I was looking that direction and saw sparks coming out from under the motor cover. It tripped the fuse. I'm honestly not sure if it's worth even considering repairing it, it's a cheap Coleman Powermhttp://m.homedepot.com/p/Husky-60-Gal-Electric-Air-Compressor-VT6314/100083906/ate (fake) 5hp oilless compressor. Guess I should figure out if it's the pump that's seized, or the motor. I'm seriously thinking about a 60 gallon vertical 2 cyl/stage in the corner, and probably wouldn't even need this one. Probably keep the tank at least.

Jeff, this is the compressor I have. Bought it 5 years ago and it works flawlessly. The only thing it won't keep up with is my cut off wheel, which uses a ton of air.

My wife works for the State of Utah. The whole state just went from using a proprietary email to Gmail.

It's taking over everything and I wouldn't look at it as an indicator of scamishnes anymore.

Okay, $2000 rubi, no phone number and gmail = fishy smell of scam.




I've got a lot of parts listed on clist, I get emails all the time saying "still have this item". If that's all that's said I hit the spam button. They're just looking for active email accounts.

I think if its on Clist it's probably a scam.

With today being one of the few last days above 60° until probably March, I washed and waxed the XJ.

Except for the stuff I'm selling.

I see those clist ads all the time around here with low prices and only an email address. Jeeps especially and class c motor homes. I flagged that one posted earlier and almost always when I see them locally. I've emailed them before and it's definately a scam.

Who makes a lift for BMW X5?

The better question would be why?

 

[seanR]

Because it needs one
and 33 MTs
and a Cheesefab front bumper

Use stock leaves out of a Dakota pick up.

 

[DrMoab]

You bought a BMW?

Couldn't you have at least bought a cool one like an M5? Scratch that. There is no cool BMW.

I typed three questions to three different candidates and an observation on another one and I deleted them instead of posting them.
I guess my give-a-damn is broken....

All I can say is God help the BOD if a few of those jack asses get elected.....

Sorry to hear that Sean. Hope the broken GAD is temporary and nothing that a few days wheeling won't fix.

Speaking of that, when are you going to build another rig?

When I have money....
I do not know if I ever will build another one like I had, to impracticable around here.
If we lived out west I would be 'wheeling my junk still, can't justify having a rig that i only use once or twice a year.
We bought a boat and we have more fun with that than we ever had with the Jeep.
I will admit I have met life long friends here though.

I have another vehicle project in the works that will be a lot more practical than the Jeep was.

That's why I have never gotten outrageous with my builds. I don't own a trailer.

IMO: My wheeling rigs need to:
* Fit in a budget.
* Be very friendly on-road.
* Be functional and fun Off-Road with reasonable capabilities.
* Be dependable enough to drive across the country to the Trail, Do a number of Trails, and drive home again without having to perform major repairs before-during- or afterwards.

All of my Rigs have been Daily Drivers, or if "pampered" or garaged due to fuel prices - very capable of being one.

I'm sure you could do that. The trick is that one you build it, you drive it like you need to also drive it home again. I think that was the problem your last one
