Looks like it'll work great.
 (However, you may not need it this round in Moab.)

Yes, and having that capability at the end of a long day on the trail is very welcome. You'll like having the new compressor.

As I reported in the "What have you done..." thread, I got Pluto out of hibernation this weekend. Everything went great getting him running, so I've been driving him.
But on Sunday I couldn't roll the driver's window down. It stopped with an audible "clunk" so I could tell it was hitting something, not just binding up. Last night I took the panel off the door and found that one of the two tabs had broken where the lower track is bolted to the door. So I pulled it out, welded it back up, threw a little spray paint on it, and tonight put it back together after the paint dried. Now it's as good as old! (it works like it did before, meaning it does bind up a bit, but will go up and down all the way) Here a picture of the tab clamped together to be welded, and then a couple after welding and grinding the mounting surface back flat. Definitely not a show-worthy weld, but it's hard to weld something so small and thin. And I didn't burn through it or anything, so I'm counting it a win!

That looks like a WIN! And no one is going to see it, so who cares how it looks if it holds.
