Viair Ultra Duty 200psi OBA installed.

It took a few pressure tests to get all the leaks taken care of, but it is now completed and leak free. Teflon thread tape is my new best friend! I decided to use a toggle switch and mount it next to my clutch start cancel. I just like toggles and it turned out nice and clean:



I was going to put the gauge there too, but it required too much cutting and I worried that it may cause problems down the line..... like breaking the plastic when I need to remove that panel. So, I decided to mount it in the rear near the compressor. It also saved me the trouble of routing all that air hose to the dash. I chose to put it in the jack compartment cover because if I ever decide to move it somewhere else, I can easily replace that part:







I mounted the tank on the rear cross member. I just had to cut off that little bracket in the middle of the bar and it fit perfectly:



For my hookups, I used a T fitting and ran two hoses along the frame rails and mounted the quick connect nipples in the hole in the gusset on my BudBuilt sliders:







Because I have a male nipple as the terminal of the hoses, I had to install a shut off valve on each side:



So far so good. It is working perfectly. I'm so stoked to be able to air down now!!!
