a/c doesn't do much good with the doors off, so I am game. Name the price my friend, and help me find the right bracket.

$50 I've got some random parts that will help with the install a mouthing bracket for a ford to get you started. some hoses fittings and a small oil separator. You'll still need a pressure switch and pieces for sure.

I loved the set up on my jeep I could run air tools with out a tank with just a little throttle input fill tires in about 30sec at idle. Pretty amazing

No need for an oil seperator if u plug the port. An unloader/check valve helps and just accidentallly figured out the side and bottom mounts are the same bolt pattern. I also use a grainger tool coupler that attaches all air tool fittings. Get a mount made and ill help with rest

Sounds cool, but, confused I am.... is that where the compressor is usually mounted on 80's? Or is it up where the supercharger usually sits?

 

[cjmoon]

a custom bracket will have to be made. i would guess that it can fit close to where the original compressor fits but we'll have to take a look might mount out and angles up a bit. i always liked to run a second line of defense for oil if the compressor is mounted on it's side. but yes there are some mods to reduce that.

Can't wait so see you fab this up!

 

[2fpower]

Well, if you like a little fab work, here is my latest. I decided to give myself some lockable storage, and went with the center Tuffy 8" lock box. since I went with the Scion radio and the remote HAM, I went with the non-radio box. Plenty of storage.

I wanted the cup holder as far forward as possible, but did not want to cut up the stock transmission/transfer surround, so decided to cut up the metal of the cup holder of the Tuffy box. Bingo!

I think you need this

Copied off another poster and added a new PowerPort while I was installing a tuffy box

FOO has been sitting and will for a little longer. Just signed up for Late April Texas offroading at Toyota Jamboree, so time to start a list.

Need to finish swap of the new axles and replace the seals,

Front bumper fabrication and tear out the lower front like Jose did.

Rear bumper complete project, including try to slide it up 2" taller, protect LED tails, side boat protection that ties into existing bumper.

Install Bestop rain protection and seal in the sunroof.

The big change is that I am looking to replace the hula girl on the dash with a booblehead, but don't know what to get. Thinking a Kansas City Royals player to get some of that magic MOJO.

What's wrong with the hula girl? I'm very satisfied with mine.

 

[half k cruiser]

Is Foo getting a supercharger anytime soon ??????

 

[2fpower]

Supercharger is for next project. FZJ45 Gonna be a while.

When FOO tipped "over" on a V groove. (total tip was 2" when I hit the right side) The hula girl did very little to make me happy. I figured a little more leg or something.

Yes, I am saying that I need a loose hula girl!

 

[Oscar Witte]

Hahaha

 

[2fpower]

Found something to replace the hula girl

I'm not sure if you ever decide on the soft top. I like this idea...

[2fpower]

Since I don't have doors, and don't plan to add them, decided to just put on bikini top. That is on the short list before texas.

 

[PabloVTA]

so hows it going?
amazing work, I loved the pics of the kids taping off the paint scheme.

You need to get ahold of Dave Grohl for his HBO series!

Thanks very much for the kind words. Having the kids help me makes it an awesome project for me.

I had bigger plans to change gearing, but that is another very sore subject. Good news is that I pulled the front axle and armored up!
