    Are these the plates on top of the strut tower you're talking about?

    Have you made any progress on the reinforcement to the sides of the strut tower?


    I just ordered the plates, right now, btw... the above post reminded me lol.

    Bought a tank for on board air. I’ll fill it with an sanden a/c compressor. Still need to pick up the fittings from the compressor to tank. Came with a gauge and a 90-120psi switch.

    Hopefully free up some space in the rig! No need to carry a portable electric compressor.

    That's a pretty cool little air tank.
    I like that a lot better than the much bigger tanks people put under the spare tire area.

    Where are you gonna mount it?
