    Magnus Rising!

    Looking forward to following this build! I saw you have vinyl wrap to protect the paint, EMBRACE THE ARIZONA PIN STRIPES!! We have to wear them as a badge of honor around these parts! :laughing:

    Another "Where Do I Start" thread!

    I just ordered one of the $10 ones they used in that video from amazon. Since I'm ok with airing up one tire at a time for now, the $10 seems reasonable. I'm just going to replace the existing connector on my compressor hose. For the full four tire setup they made, I was surprised that almost...

    Another "Where Do I Start" thread!

    Interesting setup, but I'm looking at all that hose and thinking "how in the hell would I ever find space for that?". I love those quick connections though! I'm gonna pick one up and ditch the tedious screw on connector currently on my compressor hose

    Another "Where Do I Start" thread!

    I connect my compressor and then set it in the passenger footwell. By stringing the hose across seats and out various doors i can reach all tires without moving the compressor. Of course I'm in a Jeep JKU, so my wheelbase is a couple feet shorter than a Power Wagon, but there's slack in the...

    Things are going well, but this heat is giving me cabin fever. How about you?

    Another "Where Do I Start" thread!

    Buying a compressor was one of the first things I did. Smoothing out the ride does wonders for convincing the wife to continue joining the adventures ;) I run my 32" tires at a max of 35PSI and have a SuperFlow MV50 ($75) that I love. Almost everybody I run with uses the same one, unless they...

    Thanks! It's been slow and steady progress, only trying to upgrade/modify as we run into a sufficient need

    I could be wrong, but I believe this feature is only available for members who also become Supporters or Benefactors

    Arizona Overlanders

    Separate and unaffiliated with Overland Bound, there is an Arizona Overlanders meetup group here: https://www.meetup.com/AZ-Overlanders/ There are no parking lot meetups on the calendar at the moment because it's just too hot, but @1Louder has posted a social gathering happy hour event coming...

    Homemade Solar Shower

    I just remembered that only the female ends hold pressure while disconnected, so we would have to just swap the male connector on the tank with one of the female connectors on the hose and be good to go. Probably don't want water trapped inside the hose anyway, so with one male and one female...

    Yeah, once it gets closer to reality we can make a Rally Point event for it

    Homemade Solar Shower

    @SirWilliam man, your thread has got my brain going into overtime thinking about this now, hah! I just remembered that I have this RinseKit shower that I used to use for post-surf parking lot showers. It has a quick release hose connector on the outlet hose so that you can also use it for...

    Homemade Solar Shower

    Just had more thoughts on this, with clever mounting location of the outlet connection, you could have the clunk pickup line directly at the rear end of the tube. as long as you are always at a slight angle when you park, that will be the lowest spot so the hose should stay submerged until the...

    Homemade Solar Shower

    I love this idea! I might try to do this as well some day. Have you considered adding a weighted line to the outlet on the inside of the tank? Here's a quick sketch of what I mean: This should allow you to get rid of the need for the 45deg angle at the back as well and you'll have more room...

    Yeah, I definitely plan on overnighting two nights on El Camino. I was also thinking of maybe starting south of Sierra Vista and adding another few days by taking Montezuma Canyon Road > Lochiel Rd > Duquense Rd > Nogales then up to Ruby Rd and then some still-to-be-researched route towards Ajo...
