how did you "finish" the inside of wheelwell? I want to do this but dont know how to make it look "finished" after.
I’ve got the Smittybilt portable compressor, JACO tire pressure gauge, A.mazon deflator/inflator tool; so only needed components for airing down/up.
Running the flagship LX-450 where she belongs...didn't miss a beat
Can you do a quick list of where it all came from, looks like an awesome solution!
Great job, those are so nice. I saw a DIY setup from another member incorporating a regulator that just shuts off when everything gets to pressure so the compressor cant overfill. How did you crimp those furrels on the tees?I’d been trying to figure a way to speed up the tire deflation/inflation process (because I have a time-conscious boss). So, I did some internet research and found a product that seemed a good fix for my need.
After watching the product pitch a few times and contemplating the cost in my “cart” on the site; I decided that I might be able to create my own solution.
Did some reverse engineering and came up with a design for my application. After some measurements on the FZJ80 and triple-checks, I figured out what supplies I needed.

Ran a test this morning by deflating to ‘round about 18psi. Worked like a charm. Then, inflated back to 32psi (with a few minutes break chasing wild banshees around the garage) before finishing. My system worked great and shaved off many minutes between changing positions between tires.
The best part: I had fun fashioning my design and testing. AND, I saved almost 50% of the cost of purchasing from the internet!
My system holds pressure, delivers psi, and is quick and easy to use. Bonus: it should help to get me back home before the drill sergeant knows I’m gone.

Thanks! The regulator just goes between the compressor and your tires, just after your fill valve would be fine. It has a gauge and a knob, just twist the knob to your target pressure set then anything above that pressure bleeds off. Just make sure to install with the arrows indicating the direction of air flow.Thanks. A regulator is likely beyond my technical skill! I used the below crimper tool from A.mazon

I picked up some new leather for my steering wheel - the color is a pretty close match to the original brown (slightly lighter than OEM) It took some time to get it right but with some patience I think it turned out quite nice.
I purchased a pre-cut kit from amazon - the fitment was 8/10 but that could also be because I've never done this before and just had the leather slightly misaligned.

We also got some snow in Kansas over the weekend so I finally got to see how my 80 preformed in the snow.
Do you have a link to share for the leather kit?
thx,
