Above is where I bought the plate. Took about 2 weeks from Australia.

I might mount like above and then get a waterproof relay for the master relay. This will be modular, meaning each piece can be replaced individually. That area stays dry, my compressor is there now, but is getting moved to the Decked ammo can.

I have played with the mounting, and as it sits, I can't get it all on top. Just not enough space. I might move the 40 amp breaker (for the compressor) somewhere else under the hood, but I like the idea of 'all in one place'.

Any reason to run such a large 40A breaker? Why not run a 40A fuse and call it a day. Takes up a lot of limited space.

that's a possibility. I like that the breaker is resettable. Not set on it, and may toy with using the fuse that's already on it. I have to extend the lines and wanted the least amount of splicing possible. I don't have a splice setup for 8 gauge wire, which is what I will be using to extend the compressor wiring. It's much easier to crimp eyelets on it.

Finished up with the clay bar and wax and before that rubbed out the sides with tar remover. Get the winter crud off of it. Paint feels smooth again.
Ford Nationals is a month away so I gotta start detailing.

id like one of those for the back of the driver seat.
If you don't transport rear passengers they are great, otherwise over-rated.

Now that I have a decked system added to my other exterior storage apparatus' I am ditching mine because they make the rear seat even less roomy than they already are.

I did not think of that but never have anyone in the back. most times its just me.

Full synthetic, and tires rotation. The cost if I do it myself is almost the same. Plus I had to take the old oil to a recycling.
I was going to do my first oil change on Soupie next week but a $79.95 full synthetic and we'll-pick-it-up-from-your-hause deal was too hard to resist.

I guess @AzScorpion was right. When I installed the damper and my Man Card was revoked, I had no idea I'd turn into this.

What I need is a nice load to bring to the dump, then I'll feel better!
