    Remove the tyre & throw a couple coats of paint on the inside of the rim, should stop the leaky's unless it's a rim leak.

    With it being too hot to work outside today, I worked in the basement, altering stuff. First was the air chuck setup:
    20240826_175805.jpg
    I replaced the PITA hose setup I had with the hard line and manifold...should be much better.

    Then, it was on to the compressor. After watching the video Cisco @Aztec120 put up, decided to see if performance could be improved. Unfortunately, the way my compressor is made, it would take serious mods to gain anything...more in depth than I want to go. It's not like the compressor is that bad to start with. So, I decided to just work with improving the electrical and make a harness to permanently mount under hood:
    20240826_173756.jpg
    10ga. wire, circuit breaker and Anderson plugs. Just need a couple of sheet metal screws to mount the breaker and connect the leads to my battery terminals and we'll be set.

    And for what you're doing, you'd only have to run 1 wire all of the way back, ground can be made to the frame in back.

    I was genuinely curious about it!

    This is the 4xe and it definitely takes getting used to, with its hybrid system. And boy howdy, the roofline whistles like all get out above 30mph.

    The street tires feel wrong, but they are smooth. Granted, the roads in Kentucky are glorious due to no frost heave.

    Other than that...I'm gonna go shower :rofl:

    Like when Andy was doing a terminal mod on his 4Runner and chopped the wrong cable and had to rent a Uhaul to drag it back to his house from @G.T. s old place....



    And I was in a different country. Couldn't even take credit for it :rofl:

    Because paint doesn't fix bent rims. There's a reason why no one does that fix lol
