Got the rear bumper and tire carrier all painted and installed!I am digging it!Also finally gave it a good bath, it needed it I wheeled it 3 times this month without a really good wash just a spray wash under the carriage.

So I decided there has to be a better way to air back up after a ride that does not involve 5.00 worth of quarters.I researched a bunch on OBA setups and decided a 400.00 or so Vlair or something similar was not in my budget and a ran across the MV50 by SuperFlow on a Toyota forum and some other places and few people had anything bad to say about it.Smitty Built sales em also through Summit but I found one at Orielys for 69.00.I didnt like the gauge right away.. it was a lil off so I bought another one at Home Depot and stuck it on,I decided to hard mount it in the back so I didnt have to drag it out the bag every time I wanted to use it.I just ran the pos side up the batt and grounded it to the chassis in the rear.I am very impressed with this lil guy I tested it by airing my 33x 12.50s down to 15psi which is what I usually run off road and hooking up the compressor,it took right at 2min to air back up to 35psi!faster than the stupid gas station!I might hook it to a small air tank in the future.The mv50 is also called a mv1050 sometimes too btw.Not saying its better than a ARB or Vlair because I have never owned one but its working good for me so far
