Thanks. I appreciate it.
I’m loving your LX and I’m from the Bay Area too. I’m crossing my fingers that I’ll see your rig on the road someday.
What kind of bumpers and sliders are you running?

Do you remember the model name of that pump or have a link for it? That’s pretty slick.

There are a couple of different options but this is the one I bought:

It just sit on the cap and the hose runs through the vent?
Nice money shots and thanks for sharing

I’ll take a pic of it tomorrow, but on the underside it has an outer lip which would fit around the mouth of a water cooler bottle, but inside that there is a smaller diameter lip that just happens to fit inside the pour spout. Inside of that lip, sitting dead center is the hose, which reaches the bottom of the can.You just untwist the cap and push it on. It fits snug. I also opened the vent hole to help it pump more efficiently, but it’s probably not necessary.
Anyone figured out how to tear out the hydraulic system out of the new LX's yet? Please no pithy comments or questions on why that would not be a good idea lol.
Disabling the AHC and AVS systems, no warning lights.
I have deleted the whole AHC, AVS, and AFS(disabled) systems and been driving around since January 2020 without problems. Today I attempted the first steps into getting rid of the AHC/AVS systems, I think I was successful. I still need to do some more testing to make sure warning lights don't...

I guess we could take all the leftover parts and find out whether it’s possible to just add AHC on an LC

The weather is shaping around the Bay Area lately and so I have started a number of projects in anticipation of the various excursions that we have planned this year.
I finally decided to install an OBA system. I originally bought a Viair 400C but I changed my mind and decided to order a 400P instead. The 400P has been a great little unit. The relatively high CFM rate makes it fast enough for me going from 20 up to 35 psi, especially with the morflate setup.
There are well documented downsides though, which are having to open the hood and partially remove the cover, and then having to deal with a fairly hot compressor once I’m done. Also storage is a bit of a pain. I takes up a fair bit of room in one of my drawers.
I still had the 400C siting on the shelf and was inspired by @TeCKis300 and his PS reservoir relo mod, which was really the final nudge I was waiting on to tackle an OBA mod. I will not deny that I 100% copied teckis300’s mod in almost every way. As they say, imitation is the highest form of flattery.
Before I get to the OBA setup, I wanted to finish up an even more significant mod, and that is the installation of an accessory power management system. I completely bucked the standard choices of SwitchPros and SPODs, and instead........

I went with a new product from Garmin called the Power Switch:

The Power Switch has 6 outputs and supports up to 30A on each but with a 100A max for the whole unit. Interestingly, you can add units if more outputs are needed. It also has 2 control inputs that can used for controlling outputs based on inputs.
The whole thing is controlled via Bluetooth and either a mobile app or a Garmin device if you have one.
I know that some people don’t want a Bluetooth only controller, but this was exactly what I wanted and have been waiting for.
Install was a breeze. I fabricated a bracket and mounting plate, connected the lead and ground, paired the app, and that was it. The app has on/off for each output and a master off. It also displays the battery voltage and current draw.

The app - pretty basic but works and is easy to setup

The OBA setup was also drama free. I relocated the power steering pump, fabbed a mounting plate for the compressor, ran the plumbing, connected everything up and voila! It didn’t hurt that I really took the project slow and thought things through, but it is still an amazing feeling when everything just works the first time.
The only thing I am not pleased about is that I decided to use a Viair combo relay/pressure switch and while it made for a somewhat cleaner install, the contraption is pretty big and has no mounting options - nothing. I am not sure if most people let it hang around or what, but it is an odd design. In the end, I used a couple of heavy zip ties to hold it in a pretty snug location against the firewall.
