Here are a few pictures of mine, sorry they are blurry. Mathematically I figure the tank to be just under 15 gallons. It takes about 6 minutes to fill it from 0-105psi.
Compressor/manifold/valves/air chuck/gauge/pressure switch:
You can see part of the horns here:
Schrader valve on the bottom of the tank for drain:
And here you can just see the bumper/tank:

Hah more than you would think. That was a bad day. lol
It is 1/4" thick, good luck putting a hole in this tank. The end caps are bulletproof(resistant) 1/4" plate from the gunhole covers on a V-100 Commando.

I was stuck. I was getting pulled out by an f-250 with a pintle hitch(the style with the ball), I didn't know at the time, but the jackass that was pulling me in the f250 had a 5/8" shaft ball in a pintle hitch built for a 1" shaft ball. The ball cocked in the hitch and ripped out. It looked like he only had the nut on a few threads.
I agree, somewhat. You have to do what you have to do sometimes, but if I had know that he didn't have the right ball I wouldn't have let him pull me. I had a Toyota trying and a Jeep trying, even at the same time a couple times. The entire hitch ripped off of the Jeep. It wasn't a ball, it was the entire receiver along with a pintle hitch. So before you accuse me of not using my brain(if you look I don't have a ball on my truck) maybe ask about the circumstances.
Now on the other hand, you will never see me pull on a ball again and I agree that it is dumb and you shouldn't do it.

I wasn't intending to call you out and call you stupid or anything, just trying to prove a point. Someone will look at it and it will stick in their head one day when they or a friend are stuck.
The other person your truck is connected to is the most danger to you, since (if it breaks) it's coming back toward you.
Any time I hook up to someone, I tell them they are responsible for what they hook their end up to if it breaks. But if I'm not satisfied with where they hook it up I will 'suggest' a better spot, and remind them again if anything breaks it is their responsibility. Plus I will not pull until everyone is clear out of the way.
