How are you wired up on this? Do you have to pop the hood and hit the switch or is there a switch in the cab?
I have to pop the hood at the moment. I have a switch coming for my Lightforce facia that will work it from the cab after that. At that point I will mount a rear connection port and possibly a 1 gallon tank so I won’t have to raise the hood.

Got my compressor mounted tonight. It's run from a switch inside the cab.

Next step is to run a braided steel air line back to the bed. I'd like to put a 3 gallon tank under the bed somewhere, but for now, I have the compressor setup without having to remember to bring it with me (had the compressor in a box before).

I thought I might like black lug nuts on my truck, and wanted to get rid of the 2 piece nuts that come from the factory, so I bought some and put them on last night. Now that I have them on, I'm not so sure I like them as much as the chrome ones.

I'll give them a few days, but will probably go back to the factory nuts, or buy some one piece chrome ones.
I like the look of the black lugs, but I am biased!

Added Eibach front adjustable coil overs up front. Side by side with the tremor coils and 1 inch spacer they looked the same. The Eibachs gave me an extra inch after install. After adding a winch I was back to 2 inch rake. Could have went the 2 inch spacer but wanted the ability to adjust them. Alignment next week.

Installed the Auxbeam fuse box, 8 switch controller, 2x 9in lights, and 2x 4 inch ditch lights. Decent bit of work but very worth it.

keep the black and stay as far as you can from the factory ones they tend to swell especially if you get a lot of moisture in them

Not light! I had to switch the front struts from fox 2.0 to OME heavy duty to account for the weight of the bumper and winch. Worth every penny so far.

At first, I thought Johnny 5 or Wall-E might be hiding in your garage.

philanderer, good move! I did the same thing a couple days ago. I bought a nice used pouch off of eBay for 12 bucks.

And today I installed the chrome tip on the exhaust pipe and put the new engine cover on. :)

i took it with me when i traded in my raptor. if ford wont give me one for my ranger then the new raptor owner will have to do without. i did put one of these in the raptor glovebox so i wouldnt be all guilt ridden.
