I'm building a shed to use as an office, and on Sunday my Harbor Freight #90234 air compressor decided that it didn't like being at the end of both a long circuit and a long extension cord, and refused to run due to massive voltage drop.
Fortunately, I remembered that I've got a backup, which I am now calling my big blue air compressor:
342138
Installing onboard air on my '93 Jeep continues to be one of the best modifications I've ever made to it (along with my winch).
Way back in 2008 I got a York 210 compressor from an early 80s Ford van at Pick-n-Pull, bought a mounting plate and some other bits and pieces from Kilby Enterprises (now CU Offroad), and plumbed it up. It's even got a 2.5 gallon tank that is mounted opposite the muffler next to the rear driveshaft. It'll fill my 31" tires from 10 PSI to 35 PSI in about 30 seconds at idle, and it happily will run an impact gun or air ratchet all day long, so a framing nailer is no problem at all.
If anyone is interested, I've got more pics from the install here: https://flickr.com/photos/17069879@N00/sets/72157607777489980
