    Archie73, have tested the system filling the tank from garage air and all works. I have not connected the AC compressor yet. Been working on a rough idle problem right now. I want to measure how long it takes to drain the tank down to 80psi with the locker engaged to get an idea of how often the...

    Added a run time meter for engine hours. Also added five led indicators. Fuel pressure greater than 8 psi, air tank greater than 80 psi, airlocker pressure greater than 80 psi at the differential, low and high fan speed indicators. That’s when I found out that my dual fan controller is not a...

    Finally finished my switch panel. Air system is installed, now I have to work on getting the compressor hooked up. Also discovered that my two speed fan has only one speed , high.

    Started laying out the location for everything. The plan is to use the GM Harrison AC compressor to fill the tank. With a regulator and valve to switch the air to the front air locker.

    While installing my switches on the dash I got side tracked with my on board air. Found a 1 1/2 gal air tank that fits under the passenger seat.

    Had this aluminum glove box door back when I did my gauges. Could never figure out how to mount the hinges. Well, it finally came to me. Picked up some homedepot hinges, pulled the pins and did some trimming. Getting away from this for a while seems to have helped.

    Hello everybody. After driving for a while I had some oil leaks and the engine didn't want to start reliably. I was really disappointed after all that work. Went off and did other things for a while, then retired. Finally decided to dust her off and give it another go. The leaks were mostly...

    The fuel neck I used uses a screw on sealed gas cap behind the door.

    Finally got my mirrors but have not installed them yet. Replaced the right rear caliper that had a leaking piston. When I first installed the rear calipers I had not tilted the rear differential. After the diff was tilted could not remove the lower caliper bolt. Flipped the caliper plate and all...

    Baja73, I take it out for drives around the neighborhood on weekends making sure nothing falls off. I installed a set of Coleman ATV mirrors I heard about here on mud (looks only, cannot see anything through them). The mirrors from CCOT have not been in stock. Although I can drive it, it is...

    4 liters of black under and inside and 3 liters of tintable for the outside. To do it again I would have shot the outside with 4 liters. Lots of odd angles to reach on the outside parts. The spray gun needs to be held upright so it gets difficult to get good coverage with each pass. After one...

    Brake line aficionados

    I replaced all of my brake lines also. I tightened all of the fittings to what I thought was tight enough. When I filled the system I had 4 leaks. I tightened the fittings more then even more. I finally got them tight enough to seal. It's a steel on steel flare and it needs to be tight enough to...
