That's a blue link to identify the chain as the correct chain for the TC.

Replaced the two thrust arms with my rebuilt thrust arms with polyurethane bushings. Brought a couple of use thrust arms from fellow xoutposter Garret Fell when he did his thrust arms. Removed the old bushings and installed the new polyurethane bushing. Rebuilt thrust arms went in without a hitch, and by rebuilding a set of thrust arms beforehand, I didn't need to fart around with also rebuilding the thrust arm that day.

Nice!

Is that compressor one of the shreikingly loud ones (like mine)? I'd like a smaller footprint compressor, but I want one that doesn't require hearing protection when I use it. I already have tinnitus and it sucks -- don't need to make it worse.

It's loud, no doubt.

The advantage of this Rigid compressor is the ability to use as a surge supply.

My garage was over 90deg F while I was working, I set-up the top unit
in the laundry room (70deg air), and ran a hose to the lower unit I was working off in the garage.

No noise/added heat in garage, and compressor is drawing cool air to compress. Win/win.

After the installation of the Angel Eyes, I fell in love with the suv again. I didn't think I could like the suv more than I did already. This mod made it look newer, cleaner and more sophisticated! And at night, it looks even better!

I'd like to personally thank RickyBobby for helping me understand and guide me through this. Much respect.
