12. Gallon tank. Used for $275 Ohh yea.! Time for more fun. I found (2) acess doors on ebay (2) 30"× 7 1/2" acess doors that i found will fit perfectly on the bottom rear of both sides, so few more large holes to cut soon.

Hell yeah. I have something similar you can purchase the Lowes installed on the ceiling in my first bus. Festival folk and party people are always impressed and flock like moths to a flame.
I hope I can get my finished entryway, trim, and the edges as clean as you've got yours. Looks top notch.

Q8I plan on just adding a bigger wheel to the madness,
I need to send my housing and back plate to the machinest so he can open it up some more, i dont know why i do the things i do but i just do.
I just want to show everyone how much you can squeeze out of your powerstroke, i guess..
***From left to right.>>>(stockwheel)-(modified stock wheel)
(Beast mode) all for powerstroke.

Compounds are sweet. Best of both worlds. Rapid spool up with big boost when you need it.

Those suckers are amazing. I walked out to my bus today and as I approached the front door I almost walked face first into a 3' web. I could see it attached at the side mirror, something towards the ground and it appeared like noting holding it as the web went away from the bus. I walked a round until I could see the single connecting line in the sunlight and saw that it went completely across the drive an into a tree over 30' AWAY I have a spidey broom, there are masses of spiders and webs in the shop coming out of the floor trusses above. My spidey stick looks like a torch ready to light after my web rounds.
If you ever get the chance to watch a spider spin his web , it is amazing to watch, they can spin a 3' web in 15-20 minutes. There's one on my front porch, builds a web every night at dark and removes in the morning.

Ha i hate walking in webs especially if im on a hiking trail, i learned to let other people go ahead of me to clear the way, They really are amazing insects tho im just glad they arnt as big as they are in 8 legged freaks the movie, they just let the wind carry them and latch on. I have to go inside & under my rigg everyday to clear them out, have a few black widows nesting, killed one still looking for the other.
