    Congratulations on 100K! When you were talking about how your channel is DIY projects you do in "free time" is probably what I like most about your channel. You aren't in a shop, with all the power tools and endless supply of accessories. You're a 9 to 5-er like most of us, and are doing the work in a residential garage. I just goes to show how possible these projects are for the average person.

    Would it be a good idea to intall the fuse on the inside of the box rathet then at the back? And although the electric tape seems to really work well to cover the edges how would a U shaped hard plastic work for this purpose? But then again it might not be needed!? Also what about a cover for the end of tje brass fitting of the compressor? Amd finally for a cover magnets seem a great idea but what about 1 or 2 horizontal hindges at tje top with a magnet at the bottom too to keep it in the open position?

    Watching you blow up the past couple years has been so fun. Chloe you rock! Love the install too. Air compressors are so handy... even to help others that have flats. I carry a Smittybilt for now but something permanently mounted would be great.

    If you fabricate a lid I'd suggest adding some low profile foam or rubber insulation around the edge to prevent water getting inside the compartment. Magnets are a great idea BTW!

    Great video, I'm getting ready to add OBA in the back of my truck, my concern is the size wires you ran, it seems that 10awg wire is to small, I noticed when you checked the voltage, you didn't have a full 12 volts... has that caused any problems?

    One thing I would do differently cause I installed the all pro version is use a silicone sealant instead of the sticky tape to seal the extra holes. It did not last in the rain up here in the NW.

    Did you consider using door trim instead of electrical tape to cover edges...would be a little cleaner and wouldn't have to replace regularly due to weather.

  • @MRCLMCII
    @MRCLMCII Рік тому +6

    You can replace the electrical tape with a rubber strip like they use on fender flares. It comes with 3M tape on it for an easy installation. Also you could use a clear plexiglass with magnets on the ends to give a cleaner look. You could also use the black rubber strip on it as well. You can also add black home door weather striping on top and bottom that is also put on with 3M tape. This would seal up the space between the two brackets you screwed on so that you stay dust free. I would also add that strip on the inside of the brackets to make a completely sealed plexiglass.

    • @maurandt001
      @maurandt001 Рік тому +1

      If I may add to the electrical tape finish ideas...the black plastic edging used as door edge protectors would work as well...just cut corners in a 45° fashion (like a picture frame) would give a real clean look.

    i just use a plug in compressor with the 120 volt outlet and an extension cord. I can set it up and sit in the drivers seat and watch the pressure gauge if its cold outside. its not as cool as this but cost me about 60 bucks and no work to modify the truck.

    The first video I watched was about how you detail your wheels. I have the white lettering on my tires facing out and am always looking for a better way to clean them. I also like the wiring videos because I am not as comfortable with wiring and electrical projects. The only problem with the wiring videos is when you show the wiring diagram I have no idea what the different squiggly lines represent. I like older vehicles so I look forward to the land cruiser project. I find it helpful when you show some of the aftermarket products available and how useful they are.

    The switch and air hose outlet fitting are not Particle when you fully load up the truck for camping ,it is very difficult to connect the air hose and when the item move around while driving, stuff may hit the switch Accidental turn it on, it is still a clean set up but need some improvement.

    I can see two minor problems that may come up.
    Anything moving around in the bed could hit the switch just turning it on or worse damaging it.
    Second problem is similar with the hose connector.
    Perhaps install the switch in the box and turn the connector 90 degrees to keep them out of the way of accidental damage.
