So I took the time to make two sets of these (one set for me and the other for a friend). I used them in Moab over EJS and they worked great. I happened to use a little bit bigger set screw but they worked like a charm... $5 in parts, 30 min in time beats $60-$80 anyday!

Yeah that works really fast I'm just afraid of the sudden rush of air blowing it out of my hand and into the dirt and then losing it. Thats always my kind of luck..haha

Glad they worked out for you! Just curious if anyone commented on them? Cheap and easy plus its fun to make things like this. I also tend to be cheap at times and I'd rather save the money for another mod. Just bought a rear bumper with tire carrier so I'll have to start saving once I pay the bill..haha.

Been running these for a year now and they still work great!
