Everyone see the new Broncos?
 
Everyone see the new Broncos?
Seem well thought out. Should be a contender in that segment. Knocks the 4Runner even lower on the list for anyone but Toyota purists. Available locked with 35's off the lot. Ford and FCA (Jeep) are running away with the market share, and even current build quality is competitive. Doesnt make me want to trade in a Land Cruiser.
 
That is a good looking vehicle and some serious off road technology.
 
I like it, especially the 2-door. Competition is a good thing. The release video had several direct digs at Jeep... no roof beam to block your view, comfortable IFS unlike a front solid axle at speed, swaybar disconnect - even under load, and cowl mounted mirrors. I look forward to seeing them in the wild. With the 2-door starting at $36K, I bet the dealers will have them decked out and selling for close to $45K.
 
It will be interesting to see how they're driven by morons. Obviously, most will stay on road like all other makes and models. But I remember when the Raptor came out...
 
Price range across 7 trim levels in both 2-dr and 4-dr is $36K - $62K. Still not banging against the luxury market range. You can reserve one now, but you don't get to pick any details, just 2 or 4 doors and trim level.

Just fixed up this 26 gallon air compressor passed down from my grandfather. It’s massive and takes up valuable floor space. Anyone know if I could hang this vertical? I’ve got a spot that would work and it much easier to relocate the wheelbarrow. Any advice is appreciated.

Is it an oil free compressor? If so, I don't think it'll matter, but if you had to fill it with oil, it probably won't like hanging on its side
 
What if you took the handle off and slid it under the first shelf? Would require moving totes, etc.




"The Oil in Oil-Free Air Compressors
When you think about how oil-less air compressors work, you’ll need to realize that there is oil in the device, but that it won’t come into contact with the compressor. There is oil in the gearbox of your oil-less air compressor.

The gearbox of your air compressor is used to drive the two compressor elements via the electromotor. Gearboxes need lubrication to operate properly, and can be costly to replace, so maintenance checks should review them on a regular basis. The oil in your gearbox will lubricate the internal gears and bearings, as well as the bearing and timing gear located inside of each compressor element."

Oil will be pumped from an oil sump inside the gearbox, and it’s cooled via an oil cooler and oil filter before it is used to cool compressor or gearbox parts. The filters are used to remove debris during its action.

The main difference is that internal elements and parts of the gearbox will be treated with long-lasting lubrication. This puts more of a strain on the engine overtime, but requires less day-to-day maintenance.
 
Just read that El Thrifty has closed it doors. Didn't we have a monthly meeting there once?
 
Yeah 2020 sucks in so many ways. Afraid more closings are in store in the future.
 
Work smarter not harder.

Yep, the upstate of SC and Asheville so Greenville/Spartanburg/Easley/Seneca/Hendersonville, etc. Haven't had it yet but will in next few days and will report back.

For the last 15+ years have been with a company that makes all their uniforms so still work closely with them.....when I started the chainwide sales were about $400 million, now they are $11 billion!
