Agreed. Hockey for the win. Going to the Stars game tomorrow!
Or you can spend $150 for a DIY co2 setup (tank, regulator, mount) and call it a day. Either way, mounting to rollbar like the pic wont work if one has a soft top.I’ll just wait until Powertank comes out with their Bronco rollbar mount, no loss of floor space, drilling or wiring and can leave the tank at home when not needed and can also move it from vehicle to vehicle. Used about every hard mounted air compressor available over the years and the Powertank handles 90% of what I’ve needed from filling up tires, running air tools, air mattresses, only downside is risk of it running empty so I always refill when it gets to <30%.
Lots of people have tanks hooked to their compressors so they have access to air without having to run the compressor nonstop. I usually see this when they have air lockers instead of the electronic lockers that you can get through Ford or if they are running air tools.
meaning you can't fold it all the way down? I don't see where this would interfere with just folding the first part back for open air. Which is what I'll mostly be doing, I haven't even taken out the windows in back yet, I want them in there to keep my nutty dog contained.
The large tank will get you about 12 35" tire fills from 15psi. So three trips. Local cost for me is about 24 bucks to fill up with CO2.
I love seeing ingenuity like this, but I'm a little concerned on that clearance. My hood bounces quite a lot off road. Excellent fabracobble skills and I think this guy could make a million bucks with this idea.
great info, thanks! Any trails I'd have to air down for are far from where I live, so a tank would be more than enough for my use for now. $24 is a bit surprisingly high, but for my use a no issue, one tank would probably last me all year. Seems a nice and very fast solution for now, maybe get a portable compressor down the road, never would need one mounted 24/7 unless I move, which is not likely any time soon.
Tanks are getting more popular for the rock crawling type.
that makes total sense, I also prefer redundancy, so having two of what ever is always better than one, options are good to have. I wish I'd live anywhere close to such adventures you mention!
Yeah. My Bronco isn't a daily driver.. it's a toy, really. I work at home, as much as you can call it work. I'm lucky in that regard. I'm building a slide out tailgate and mount for an overland fridge and at some point my air compressor controls will be moved up into the cargo area near my power control station and second battery. I haven't had my back seats up since I got this thing and will potentially remove them.
Found a home for the 1 gallon air tank, was hoping for a vertical mount for draining water from the tank, there's a nice protected spot in front of the gas tank for a horizonal installation. See post two in this thread. Haven't found a good space for a second tank. There's room where @Theherofails installed his compressor, but I'm not going to drill holes in the floor pan. Plus to even get the tank in there one would have to jack the body up to unload the rear axle to slide it in place. Not going proceed with a second tank for now.

With all that said, redundancy is paramount in overlanding and off roading in general. You'll do great with just a tank. They do take up a lot of room but that's more an issue for over Landing.
For the guys worried about 4 holes in the floor, you're gonna LOVE what I have coming up.
