When I think cooper I don't think cheap

 

They were the cheapest I could find other than off brand when I was looking at 31s for my old truck

 

Yeah Coopers were never a "cheap" tire

But you say old truck so I take it some years back?

 

about 3-4 years ago they were downright affordable, but they've been acquired now so things have changed.

 

Oh they've always been affordable, they've just always been a bit more than other popular tire brands. At least for all terrains in my experience.

 

It was for my 98. I guess it was only 2.5 years ago though.

 

damn how did that little 12v outlet air compressor do with those tires, imagine it would burn up after just one and take all day

Get yourself a

$91 Viair 88p Portable Compressor Kit (12V, 120 Psi, Forup to 33" Tires)

Viair 88p or 300/400p

 

Bought some enchiladas at Stater Bros for lunch today, didn't realize they say they can only be cooked in an oven. Decided F it, nuke 'em for 8 minutes


now I have rock hard rubber toy enchiladas

 

gotta do like half power for time like that lol

 

Sorry for laughing at your misfortune but that is quite a hilarious visual

 

Told him that, he shined it off

 

I did cause that's how the Amy's ones get cooked from the frozen section that I'm used to, but these must be extra fresh or something and not friendly with microwaves lol

 

chew toy for Dexter now

 

Oh I'm still eating them, they are OK once you get to the middle

Just had to drill some holes in the air jack's base since it had none.

With the massive overhang though I thought it smarter to just add angle towards the rear of the base as a larger platform.



Welded her up and it's ready to go.



Matched the front hole for centering purposes and aesthetics.



That actuator you linked/posted yesterday...was wondering why there were wires coming from it? And is it a sort of 'toggle' or?..

I had already ordered that foot switch when I posted but it won't get here until tomorrow anyway.

Always open to ideas.

Here I had just removed the hand switch and have it ready for when I install the foot pedal to the crossmember.

 

How many licks does it take to get to the center?

 

Looks good to me, I like the foot switch idea. the further you can keep your hands away from that while using it the better.

 

Yea that thing was horrible lol, I think it was meant for inflating soccer balls and bike tires

 

I'd do a cage, but I don't expect to do anything that isn't flat steel.

 

Also, will be getting back to TIG welding since this just arrived.
