Always wanted some kind of compass for my K5. I went the marine approach. Picked this up from online. It was 42bux shipped, it is made by Richie and works really well. It is pretty sensitive to movement. Even the crown in the roads makes it tip some. Itll work on inclines and declines and off camber stuff. It fits in the gauge pod, but thought it might have issues. Its actually a pretty long unit. about twice what a normal gauge is. It has a Light inside that glows GREEN, looks pretty cool. lol.

Next up is a VIAIR 400P. I wasnt sure if i was going to go with a portable unit or hardmounted. I went with the portable but can hard mount later on. I wanted to see if itll reach the farthest point in my truck. With the compressor in the engine bay, itll reach. If I put the compressor on the ground, it would only reach the front tires unless I get longer hose. Its lighter than what I thought it would be. But seems durable, we shall see.

Unpacking it
