The Frankenstein Build! LT/Expo/Trail rig..and BS

As long as the tank is secured good way I don't see a problem with leaving it out

 

Just some shots form this weekend. Nothing crazy..just pretty..

 

hahaha dude the .gif made me laugh so hard!! hahahaha

i know, i have been whoring them out a bit..they turned out as good shots!

 

Hahahaha those are some damn nice pics to monte, i suppose i dint mind seeing them one or twice.

 

Still can't believe you rolled it. Looking good though.

 

Me either..obviously haha

Did it have a sign that just said, please close gate? I woulda just gone through if so..unless its posted as private we just open and then close them behind us down here..

 

Me too actually..hard to believe that it didn't even have a body on it 2 months ago..haha

thanks though man!

 

ahhh gotcha. Then yea. i wouldn't have gone through either.

weren't you going to go to compressor trail??

 

just kidding!

 

Might take a little time to find a tank for cheap but it's worth it. As you've found lots of places only want to do tank exchanges. Most of the regular CO2 places are that way. I got my first tank from a buddy that owns a convenience store. He had an extra beverage tank. I've had that tank for years now. Just recently picked up a second tank from a local Dry Ice supplier. Also a beverage tank. He charged me $50 for a full tank that is less than a year old.

As for the regulator, I prefer the adjustable ones just because they are more versatile. I got a used regulator from a local CO2 place for $40. When I just had the one tank I would need to remove the regulator frequently as I changed from on-board CO2 on the truck to useing it with my welder. Peice of cake to swap regulators.

If you find a tank and it doesn't have some kind of handle or protection for the valve/regulator, you can look at Powertank (but they are crazy expensive for just about anything), or The Source. I got my powertank style handle from The Source.

As for filling the tanks, it will typically cost you between $15-25 to fill a 20# tank. If I'm only filling tires it will last me almost a full year. Using it on the welder will obviously make it run out quicker.

 

Thanks for the help, would you know if anyone has a regulator with 2 QD hose fittings? Or if you're running an air locker do you have to disconnect it when you want to fill tires?

 

Jonathan and Monte, .... An option.

Edit: nvrmnd, you already found it.

 

just make one. Pretty simple to do

 

Did you ever get around to installing those led bars in your bed?

 

no i haven't

I won't install them offically till i clean up my bed rack and repaint it and rebuild the roof part.

I will get you photos though! Hopefully soon. I just keep forgetting to grab them on my way out.

 

Haha it's all good! I appreciate it!

 

congrats on the ttora rig of the month

 

Congratz on that man!! Your truck is pretty darn fine.
