early Merry Christmas to me

[wussyPup]

came home from work tonight to be greeted by:


Last week I jumped onto the Titan TW12 - 12,000 lbs winch w/ synthetic line group buy, and while the credit card was out, also ordered a Titan Max Air Compressor and tank kit.

Mot taught me how to unpack parcels. First, the compressor.


comes with a relief valve and a quick connect


here's the data plate


the tank is tapped with 5 outlets


will need wire, fuse and on/off switch to complete install


now for the winch, it looks well packed




the solenoid controller box has extra long leads for remote mounting


I'll re-clock the winch for feet forward mounting


also, comes with wireless remote


Of course, I have to wait for the warranty period to end before even considering installing any of this. Next update in 2014...

Well done indeed i was quite tempted by that group buy.... but it looks a lot like Steve bought it?

Don't bug Cam... he had a long day of drinking!

I see one problem though, Steve, is that a Jeep on that box?

Did your winch come with free tire deflators?!?!?

Also... how would you rate the quality of your compressor??? Mine cheap one broke -- the rotor coils started coming unsoldered from the slip ring segments. I have repaired twice but...

Yours looks very similar to mine except only one piston. (http://www.amazon.com/Industries-MF...D8LI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1319843228&sr=8-1)

But maybe the quality is a lot better? CFMs sound pretty good too!

So sweet! Well done Vern.

I must have talked him into it or lent him the money?

How many cycles/times did you use it? I just got a Titan air compressor and will be testing it out against a harbor freight model.

How many cycles/times did you use it?

I think I bought it in 2009. Probably aired down/up 30 times. Also the odd bike tire, and ran the brad nailer to do a bit of trim in my house. Didn't seem like much at all.

(And before anyone asks, no I did not trim my entire house with it, I used my shop compressor for most of it...!)

Can you give us your tire size and pressures - and 'air up time' on the compressor for the 1st tire (and the 4th tire when she is smoking hot!)

Need to go wheeling for that. Sounds like a good excuse. Well, you could do it in your driveway, but, well, that's like dressing up for your dog.

 

[jinzuke]

well now you need a tec day or two to get it all going and a beefy bumper too

Update on that compressor? Have you tried it yet?
