I have a Craftsman 3 Ton and it gets the job done, it isnt the best thing in the world..that being said I dont really have any complaints. It has handled everything I have thrown at. The Harbor Freight Jacks are of equal quality to the Craftsmans if youd ask me. Those Harbor Freight Rapid Pumps look pretty sweet though! I will be getting one to replace my Craftsman when it goes out.

The first gen explorers had two different size tires that you could mount on the rims(BigC is correct). P225/70R15(stock) and P235/75R15(optional) depending on which size you have on your car, you needed to change the gear on the speedo. Do exactly what Eric said and count the number of teeth that the gear has. I cant remember though if you had to lose or gain a tooth on the gear W-| The speedometer cable goes into the transmission tail housing, it should be a black cable. Hope this helps!

EDIT: To find out how many teeth you need use the following formula
New Teeth = (Current Teeth x Speedo Reading)/Actual Speed

There are different colors for each gear here are the gears and the Ford part numbers

16-teeth-blue (D0AZ-A)

17-teeth-green (C7SZ-A)

18-teeth-gray (C7SZ-B)

19-teeth-tan (C7VY-A)

20-teeth-orange (C8SZ-B)

21-teeth-purple (D0OZ-B)

I have the same one that Gen3 listed in post #2. I can attest it is a very quiet compressor. I run it at 120V (capable of running at 240V) and it is very quiet and powerful. I have not had any problems with it. The compressor runs all of my air tools without any problems. (Impact, angle grinder, and ratchet)

It would have to be my SnapOn 3/8″ ratchet, since it is the only SnapOn ratchet I own. Blows the others away!

Always set them to zero. I had those same torque wrenches and I know all of them were able to be put to zero.
