That compressor, how much was it and is it good enough to undo wheel nuts and other stuff?
Thanks

it was about £130, its 8cfm with 8bar (115psi ???) & 50L tank. not yet used it but will be very disappointed if it doesn't run a windy gun, mainly want it for air ratchet, die grinder etc and the plasma cutter .
i think the gun i have now is rated to work at 90psi 200L per min but I am used to running it off the old compressor which was a big beast so this new little one will be working at pretty much is 100% duty on it.

I recon I could have a wheel off in less that 25 seconds !! And 1/4 die grinders are 4- 5cfm which also you wouldn't use continuously as you would just use a better tool for a big job so it didn't take all day.

Well regarding the impact gun, just remember to use a good size hose, 1/2" will do.
Not the small cheap ones that often comes with these compressors. They don't deliver enough.
About the grinders, I only mention it because I've been using one myself with a compressor of roughly the same size. And it's a pain in the butt using a grinder which requires lots a air on a small compressor

Did you use a proper air hose? Not too small diameter?

Front end is pretty much done, still need the drop links removing asI just cut though them for now as they looked like they required more energy than I had left from fighting every bolt.
Next Sunday ... transfer box swap over, diffs swapped over and winch to be fitted.

1. Is that an orange KAP trayback hiding in the background?
2. What gearbox is in the blue one? if its R72 (as is usually in a VVT), then you might have issues with the intermediate prop. R72 has a different spline count on output shaft and is shorter overall (meaning the intermediate prop may need shortened). Let me know if thats the case as i have just the thing going spare in my shed
Also ive had a similar problem with my nephews this weekend. nothing was left without a sticky layer and in a different position. Horn got plenty exercise too
J999 MNY, ULYSSES M18 VVT with ITB's Dyno tested at 130hp
Pickup/tipper, R7me gearbox & 6.4 Rocklobster, 31" Toyo MT, 2x ARB air locker 3.9 diffs in braced axles, 6" total lift, Floating rear conversion, Raptor painted, CB, Recaro's, Caged, etc, etc...

Hi, yes the orange one was a KAP creation, had it about 8 years, my old profile had a build thread for it.
Yes it has the R72, plans are to take the gearbox, transfer box(Rockwatt) and diffs(locker) from the orange one, but I haven’t got a lift in this unit so not sure if or when I will do a full swap.
