I've been to Fayetteville a few times. Not a fun drive lol And it's about 100 miles less from here lol

I have no idea, but I am guessing not much. I think they are off a boat
Here is my compressor.

I am hoping to find a Nathan. My dad has a friend that is a train mechanic, so he is watching out for one.

Im running a Viair 380C with a 3 gallon tank and two Siege Engineering trumpets that are 17" and 21". Im running 3/8" line with a brass valve.

Im getting ready to move my trumpets though as they are in the way for my airram scoop

These first pics are where I had it all mounted on a board with rubber feet and in the tool box. As my need increased for room I moved it up front and under/in front of my rad and behind the bumper.

Some of these pics you will see big (+) and (-) cables from when I still had my Warn winch also. So it is possible to have both at the same time

Here is a video also

I haven't got a video of them on the Dodge yet, but I've got a shocker set up from Hornblasters. Tank is mounted on the frame behind the front bumper and horns are mounted on the skidplate facing the bumper.
Here's a fun clip from when it was on my F150...I'll try to get a new video soon:
