Can anyone point to a good post or article or or video with a diagram that lays out ALL the parts needed to build a system with a tank (and, preferably, dual compressors)? Talking about the AIR lines, fittings, etc. (wiring would be a bonus). Thanks for any help!

We have mounted dozens of Puma 12v compressors on the left rear inner fender. Inexpensive and bulletproof. Some have been used for over 10 years with no problems. Mine is still able to refill my 37s from 12 to 35 psi in less than 3 minutes each.
Wits End Quarter Panel (long thread) has numerous compressor installs with pictures. Start with pages 20-45 
. Also inverters, solar, audio amps . . .
Here is one that has the components labeled. Others have part numbers, but I don't see schematics.

Viair has schematics for electical and air. This is the 35" tire-size kit.

Attached is what I used as a plan, but I can't remember where I lifted the second slide from. I do think a large capacitor near the compressor is a good idea. It protects the system during the start-up surge.
This is my set-up:

Wits' End Accessory Mounting Quarter Panel- need input
Care to label a picture with what you have going on here? Looks very tidy. What's the function of all of it? Main function it to satisfy a raving case of OCD ... Aux fuse panel is switched by a 200A solenoid so everything hooked to the aux panel turns off with the ignition. Everything else is...

Are there still plans to integrate a D-Pillar extension to the quarter panel unit? Doesn’t integrate per se 🤔

On my 40 I have a york under the hood going to dryer/seperator, back to a 3ish gallon tank in the rear, one quick connect under the hode and a bulk head fitting in the rear passenger quarter panel, all of that complication adds a small amount of convenience to airing up and down tires. On my 80 I mounted a knock off ARB dual compressor in the passenger rear (similar but way more getto than wits end), cut half of the cubby out and put a 20" pigtail off the compressor with a quick connect, kept it simple and no regrets. For what I use it for, I didn't find the tank on the 40 to really buy me anything. If I remember right the 40 has some leaks but never a negative impact as I only turn the compressor on when I need it. I never timed anything and definitely apples to oranges, york + 35s vs knock off ARB + 33s, its still a 2-3 minutes a tire and enough time for a soda.

No diagrams, but lots of pics and parts explanations. Feel free to PM me for any further info if you see anything I did that you want more onfo about.

Which reminds me, I need to add a three way switch to my system so I can trigger the compressor clutch from inside the cab or outside under the hood.

The Mean Green Bean's OBA thread competed, with numbers.
I'm going to do a dedicated OBA thread for the MGB. I've been futzing about with this since June, still waiting on some back ordered parts, so the urgency hasn't been what anyone would call "on point". That said, I worked on mounting the air tank today. I chose a seamless aluminum tank, 2.5...
