I think it was 74F for a high here today... Currently 66F with a low tonight of 48F AH... WYOMING!!!!

Where I'm at right now the feels like high is 128 and that's at noon. At midnight the feels like high is 111. Of course I'm over seas in an undisclosed location. Can't wait to get home and finish up the truck.

ARB lockers en route. I must say I'm surprised by the size of the compressor, smaller than I thought it would be. Thinking it might for inside the vehicle in the rear quarter panel area.
Bought the chomoly axles off Reevesci for a great price. Thanks J.
Nice! The compressor is small but it will lock the axles up instantly. Much quicker than the Toyota elockers.

I know it will work for the lockers, I'm surprised that it will fill up tires.

It will if you have plenty of time to kill. I never bothered even trying with the one on my Jeep. Always carried my Viair in a toolbox before it got mounted permanently on the 80.
 
Took the pump off. Had the same issue with the bolts so I cut the ones I couldn't take off. Found the metal piece holding the diaphragm to be half rusty. Cleaned it out add best as I could and replaced the spring with the softest one.

The shorter spring is the stock one, it's very stiff compared to the longer one.

Put it back together and going for a test run and paddle boarding.
 
ARB's!!!!!!! NICE!!!!! You will love them!
 
How did it feel with the new AFC spring?

It gets in the RPMs real fast, but I have the fuel plate centered . Feels a bit slow on the top end. I need to tweak things a bit, I'll eventually find that happy medium.
 
I need to overhaul the entire electrical system. Drive window and locks isn't working, the truck starts sometimes and now the ac compressor isn't kicking on. Wish things are as simple as changing out fuses.
 
Gosh I think they should be equal. When you get to installing them compare to OEM that you take out *shrug*.
 
I don't want to start this project to realize the axles won't fit. I rather have all the correct parts so I minimize downtime and frustration.
