What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

Take a look at a Milton Valve. It is a valve stem remover/bypass air chuck. I sort of disagree with another member that it drastically increases your fill rate of your tire. Does it go faster but not a lot. Yes the valve stem reduces the inlet volume but we are talking seconds not minutes. Here is the link and there is a guy on YouTube that timed it and he only gained 15 seconds with the Milton valve.

The test starts around the 26 minute mark.

Tested out the new dual hose, and they work fantastic! Cut down on filling time by a lot! Usually I'm last to fill (since I'm on 38x13.5x17), but I finished earlier than everyone last time we went wheeling. Very happy with my setup.

Did you change the hose and fitting sizes? I still want to tap out to 1/4. I purchased a premade 4 tire hose and I’m thinking that was a mistake. Yeah I think I will be last to fill up with 35x11x20s until I dial it in. The first test was not good hence my questioning the fitting/hose size. So much for “on the cheap.”

Yeah, went to 1/4 from 3/8 and didn't seem to affect the flow at all.
 
Not today but first time I had a chance to get pics. RotoPax/Jerry Can mounts. I chose to go with RotoPax but Jerry Can was an option. @crossbridges_overland

Removed the basket and all the associated containers from the Collie so my wife can see out the back window. Looks so naked now.

First mod. Flip the spare and add nearly all the gear from the Collie boxes.

Everything fits with the floor cover back in place.

Built a rack for my fridge box on the trailer, and mounted a dewalt box I had laying around up there for some weatherproof storage.

I also installed a port on the side of the trailer so that I can use the diesel heater without putting the ducting to the window.

I did some vehicle maintenance this last weekend, 4 of the 7 offroad lights on my rig had moisture behind the lenses, and my air filter needed cleaned, I also added a phone mount, and some decals to my rig my brother made for me.
