You forget what he did under the hood with the bright green paint? Keeping it might be his only option
Yellow on the suspension. I still have the receipts. There's about 12 grand in the car. I'm asking a paltry $4000. I'll throw the green paint in for free. $3000 more would finish the car off, besides a paint job. I'm at my limit in sinking another dollar in to it. I enjoyed working on it but it's time. Ill get another project...and another. I've been doing this project thing since a teenager. Wait till you see the next one. No clue to what it might be but it's coming.
My dad. He's wiring up a electrical outlet.

Yeah, I like the outlet strips mounted in the back of the bench.
2 cents...
It'd be better if it was elevated a few inches. Tip over a bottle of mineral spirits, beer, or a bowl of Simple Green that parts are soaking in. It stands a chance of running into the outlet bar. Elevated and the liquid will miss it.

Ugh, I'm dealing with a gut virus. Ear ache and all. Then I get an offer for a trade on the 94 camaro...
A 2002 Yamaha v-star 650 with over 100k miles. The kicker is they reported it as bored out. Bored out to 1100cc. Considering the motor is already a bored 535 virago motor. No big bore kit nor boring the cylinders will bring it up another 500cc. Maybe 710cc or something like that. 1100? Nope...
Plus since they make a 1100 v-star. It's a waste of money to even try to up the CCs. Gotta love craigslist.....

While I’m stuck in Missouri figured I’d take advantage of some of the recreational areas they have around here. So I’ve been getting the power wagon ready to do some camping/kayaking off the beaten path. Still waiting for my roof top tent and hi lift jack to arrive but here’s what I’ve done so far.
Still have my Texas tags. They come due in June. Anyone with a friendly vehicle inspector that can save me a trip to TX, PM me please.

If anyone has any recommendations with onboard compressors, I’d appreciate it. Tough to get the air back in the tires once you’ve let half out.

Great looking setup!
Are they making "Power Wagons" again, or are you just going with the old school name?

It’s a 2017 Power Wagon. I just bought mine de-stickered.

I didn't know they were being sold as such again .
Steal one out of a Land Rover.
Maybe check out a suspension shop.
They use good ones for air bags.
Probably know right where to place them too.
Just a thought.
How much you wanna spend, how much volume, and how much pressure?

You can get a belt driven compressor, with an expansion tank and have unlimited air; enough to run air tools for trail repair if you want. You can cobble one together from an AC compressor and source the parts on your own too.
Electric compressor is another good option. Viair and ARB are the industry standard. You can also find a less expensive competitor
Another option, is to get a CO2 tank (like for restaurant soda fountain) and fit it with air connectors.
I always ran an electric pump (a Viair clone), but I know folks that have run engine drive and also tanks. All will work really well
