@k3g was a huge help in his project. In fact, this was his idea. I just edited his files a bit for my own needs after some testing...

Anyway, the idea was to mount an Apex Compact Reel System in the bed of the R1T. The result is a compressor that's much quicker to put into use... and much, much quicker to put away when I'm done.



Dope, right?
I tried to DIY this myself but certainly will be going with the professional fabrication that Soonish and @LivingInKaos is coming out with as mine hasnt turned out that well. One thing i found and maybe you and @LivingInKaos can comment on is my set up would tend to fall out as you it seems you can unfortunately not use the air compressor and lock the gear guard at the same time. It appears you have it locked when winding up the hose as the compressor gauge is off. Is this correct and did you find that it would ever fall out when using? Thanks.

How long does it take to make this? It seems like real s00n!

Any updates on this? I don't see them on the website.

Looks like this project is dead before it even started.

FYI for those interested, got a response in the other s00nish thread.....

"Nope, as I am not making them. We will be selling them. If and when I have news about it, I'll be happy to share. As of this moment its not in our hands. "
I thought @LivingInKaos was making them

I believe they are making them for s00nish to sell, based on s00nish's response. But perhaps @LivingInKaos can clarify things.
How long does it take to fabricate a bracket? Looks like he's more interested in keeping it for himself.

I have never used something like SendCutSend, but this seems like quite the wait. At this point I may reach out to the poster of the original youtube video.

Please let me know if you do find anything out. I have the hose reel and am just looking for the bracket/gear guard insert.
