spring for the RJO70, much better for the extra. Get LED light and integrated MyQ instead of the bridge. Also consider the Genie since its more compatible with older Homelinks. I had to buy another device for $25 to use my pre-2010 Homelinks. I did an install video on the RJO20 and regretted...

I added 1-inch R-Tech board insulation with radiant barrier plus some reflective bubble wrap radiant barrier to make equivalent of the Insulfoam and other "Garage Door Kits". This ended up costing about $180 for 3 car garage doors with some left over. The advantage of this was I have a...

Keeping this 13 year old thread going!!! I did my DIY Aftercooler using a Derale 15300, great affordable addition to my setup. Initial empty to full 60 gallon run saw peak temps of 200F at compressor discharge to 75F at tank inlet. Nice delta T for a $60 fin cooler, if you ask me. Zip tied...

Yea tell me about it, I just finished mine and tried to stay with affordable fittings and minimize any unions. Flare nuts when possible since those were like $3/each. The 90-degree flare/NPT fittings are $8!!! highway robbery. Luckily for my setup I only needed 4 flare nuts, a 90-degree...

Inspired by this post, I did my DIY Aftercooler using a Derale 15300. Definitely no where near the complexity or fab effort as others in this thread but great addition to my setup. Initial empty to full 60 gallon run saw peak temps of 200F at compressor discharge to 75F at tank inlet. Nice delta...

I had similar luck. Except mine is a 2003 sitting outside for 18 years (which I’ve never seen run in the 13 years I’ve worked there). Luckily someone knew better and removed the drain plug. Had to refurb and replace all the valves, capacitors and wear fittings. added a DIY Aftercooler too.

I just followed Keith’s video and did my pressure test. I left all my valves in place since I just freshly installed everything before I learned so easy it was. The check valve held up to 270psi for 8 hrs. Here’s my DIY.

I left my IR aftermarket check valve in when testing to 270psi. I found that that valve spec is rated up to 500psi. I had already loctited the threads and didn’t bother. At high pressure, it holds. I noticed at low pressure the bleed valve for the pressure switch leaks to activate the switch...

I’ve probably read every MaxJax thread since day one. Not much on the latest version and new features except Dolfan’s who got a custom V2 with V1 baseplate holes.

Also...the quick connect fittings (both sides) failed on the old owner. Has anyone experienced the springs popping out of the female end? I was able to get this warrantied but may have to keep an eye on it for future when warranty runs out (these are $85/each side from MaxJax).

Hey guys, I just picked up a MaxJax M6K (2020/21 version) used for 6 months. Old owner moved and needed cash so he had to get rid of it and I got a great deal (compared to current '21 inflated costs). I noticed the lift arms had some spray paint repairs on the welds. It didn't look like the...

I was eyeing the MaxJax since I got my new house in May. Was around $2,600 at the time and most of the summer. Checked two weeks ago and it went up to $3,777!!! I wasn't sure if it was market cost of steel plus delays and shipping or did BendPak finally added their premium since they aquired...

Great writeup. Did they charge full price for the upgrade or did you get a returning customer discount? I recently pickup a used (6-month old) M6K and waiting to install. I had to warranty the quick connects since the previous owner somehow popped the retaining spring on both female ends.
