woops. I think I've lost my sense of reality...wait...no there it is...right over in that other post.

Nice setup. Where did you find the caps for the hose ends? I hadn't seen those before. On the other hand, I hadn't gone looking for them either.

Also interested to see a better pic of the bracket you're using to mount the bottle inside? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

He did ask.

Nice CO2 set up. You don't rely on the quick connects to hold pressure and leave the bottle turned on all the time, I hope?

<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> John: no, I won't ever let pressure sit in those hoses for any length of time. Just long enough to air up.

Ray- that mount is one that I had for the CO2 in my Raider. It is for a fire extinguisher and I got it from a firehouse supplier.

In the FJ there are 2 spots to screw in heavy stuff along the wall- so it's secured to the body, not plastic. And 2 big hose clamps keep it tight.




And:

Below is an old photo when it was mounted in my Raider to the Jump Seat I fabricated, remember? going down Memory Lane....

Curious... How big is your bottle and how many tires/times can you air up? IOW, how long can you go refilling the CO2 for $ before you cross the threshold where the economics justify a compressor?

Wish I could get there this weekend. It's not that far really, just not a good weekend for a guy with kids. Keep us posted on the next time.

Just leave 'em at stony's house.. he won't notice a few more running around. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cyclops.gif" alt="" />

I have a compressor also, if I need it. But the co2 will fill up all my tires for a few trips. I had bigger tires on the Raider and it was nice to be able to air up in a couple minutes, rather than sit there and wait.

the cost of swapping it out is under $15.00, so that may or may not be worth it to somebody who wheels every weekend....I don't. So the convenience is worth it to me.

The one I have mounted there now is a 5lb cylinder, but have a 10lb also that I can put it if I think I'll need the extra power.
