It truely is sad to see a car club that I knew in the PNW back in '98 /'99 go to shit with people like you and all your east coast cloanies. Now i see why some of the "original" crew have left the scene. Looks like a bunch of DEMONIC WHOREDs who run nothing but there fucking mouth in the DCI now........... - Euro2.0

i got one of the high output ones i think it was from volvo if i remember correctly.  i didn't check your links but i'm sure one of them is the one i got my info from that spells it out for you directly which cars to get them from.  since i sold the land cruiser i sorta put the project in a cardboard box in a cold dark and damp place but, i do consider putting it in my commuter car.  i work construction so, shit it'd be handy.  and i float rivers daily during the summer here so that'd be nice for inflation of the tubes and crap. 

but then part of me just says buy the cheap master flow tsunami compressors that everybody praises that are at costcos (!!!) currently for 45 bucks.    those are interesting, seen them in action and it's really quite impressive. 

still it ain't no york.

or just go big jess and buy the warn powerplant downtown

i do.  still do.  i'm just planning on moving a couple states away end of this year and to get the cruiser to where i want it, i'd have to put her down for a good long time to do it all.  i don't have the time to do it before i move, it's a large item to move, and it was stock enough to where i didn't feel guilty selling it cause i know i can pick one up damn near identicle to it in california once i get there. 

done worry i be back.

I should be getting one of these in the next couple of days. It's the q-maxx compressor for $49 at costco. Thinking about getting a small tank made and then utilize the quick disconnects just incase I need to move it from the FJ.

I said in the next couple of days. I was told NOT to buy it or the Fiskars axe either. Basically I should be getting them in a couple of days/week.

The only gerber axe i've seen was about the size of a hatchet. too small, but it would go nice with the shovel!

also...
