Also, suggest we meet at a local restaurant versus BYOB. Less preparation and planning. I have previously coordinated a monthly breakfast for another car club at the City Grill in Manassas. Lots of parking.

I like the idea but 7am is a bit early. How about 9am?

Got a little carried away but love the result.

Nice setup!

Agree. LED lights have tremendous light output at very low wattage so I would be astonished that your light would draw that much power. I have a 50” LED lightbar with a 26,000 lumen output (252W) using 10ga wire connected to a 30amp fuse on my sPOD controller. Did all the wiring myself. sPod...

Great questions! I'm using a Smittybilt 10lb aluminum tank with the control valves, air hose, handle, and carrying case that come bundled with their tank. Here is a link: The bundle has a carry bag that holds the hose and tank which makes it completely portable. You can order a bracket from...

I’m surprised that no one brought up using a CO2 tank. It fills tires much faster, is more reliable, doesn’t require downtime, is portable, doesn’t drain your battery, it takes up about as much space as a compressor with a tank, has brackets that enable it to mount on toll bars, and very...

Well done! Virtually undetectable yet functional when needed.

Like the others here I don't recommend the solution that you are considering. It doesn't appear to be robust enough for the job at hand. You might want to consider a trailer hitch mounted winch though. The idea is that you could have an appropriately sized winch attached to a portable winch...

Excellent points! That being said, I'm not sure that we can expect to know the strength of the factory tie-down points of all the various vehicles that we may be called upon to help tow. I do however have an experience where a tow truck driver used the lower control arms to tie down my car...

Nice set-ups!

I use a Stihl.

A pair of lightly used J W Speaker LED round fog lights with black bezels that fit the Jeep JK OEM bumper or aftermarket bumpers that accommodate Jeep JK OEM fog lights such as a Smittybilt XRC M.O.D bumper with crawler end-caps. HUGE improvement in brightness and coverage over OEM fogs. Located...

A pair of lightly used Smittybilt XRC M.O.D Crawler end-caps (AKA end-plates) part #76830. Short black end crawler-style end caps that are designed to hold the OEM fog lights with no modifications. Simply bolts on to the ends of a Smittybilt XRC M.O.D bumper. Mounting hardware included. Price...

Sabjku - sweet rig!! Would love to check it out when we meet next. I would prefer Saturdays if possible.
