    I installed my ARB Compressor. I swung by Sierra Expeditions where a i picked it up and talked to Wil. He said not to mess with the harness that it comes with because I'm mounting it under the hood and go straight to the battery. It turned out great and it is super fast compared to my old portable one. I aired down one of my 35s to 15 PSI and got it back to 37 PSI in 2 Min 30 Sec. All in all super happy.

    I noticed some folks here talking about the ARQ 270* Awning. I've had mine for about 4 weeks. I actually had the first one shipped here to the states. There are a few of us that ordered through aidenjamescustoms. Scott has his already mounted as does at least one other person. One of the guys (Sean) in the group made a quick drone video today...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExxHnLHjjnc

    I'm still working on my softopper rack for solar panel and this awning to be mounted.
    Here's the link to the awnings he carries...http://aidenjamescustoms.com/t/awnings

    So DHL trashed mine but it's a GREAT PRODUCT for the price!! You really can't beat it.
    Be prepared to fab up your own mounting brackets until aidenjamescustoms comes out with their line.

    Super high quality/thick cover!

    Extremely lightweight!!

    Once it's mounted, it obviously becomes much more rigid and stable!

    Nice man! Love the photos you take haha.

    Do you have a pressurized jerry can there? I just bought one on Amazon and was going to do the same thing now that I have a holder. I'm thinking I'm gonna just mount my two rotos to my roof instead and throw the can in this carrier I just got.

    Nice. I'm thinking of still just making a presurizeable water can for a low budged shower right now. Maybe someday I'll upgrade like that!

    Makes sense! Thanks man.

    I just want an easy way to do dishes. I have that camp shower you linked and it works. I got the can for 10 bucks so I'll probably mess with it anyway since I'm not feeling putting a pump in any time soon. Looks super solid though. Worst case scenario I'll just do what I do now and just pour water on the dishes without pressure. Would be cool to have it pressurized though! I know guys who have that road shower as well. Didn't want to pay over 100 bucks for it if I could try to make it myself haha. Was going to try out a bike pump as well since that is what a lot of guys use on the road shower.
