JeepcoMJ Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I'm in the process of building an on board air system for it right now...will update with pics as it comes along. so far spent (at menards) $7 on a cheapo hose i can use offroad $35 on a pretty heavy duty air filter/oiler/pressure regulator system. $6 on the oil/water seperator $5 on some fittings it's meant to run : air tank/compressor, filter, regulator, oiler....with oiler being for the tools. I'm running it : filter, oiler, air compressor (a/c compressor), regulator, oil/water seperator doing it this way so that I can oil the compressor automatically once i've got the drip feed adjusted. still need to get the hardline for between the oiler and intake of the compressor (has to be hardline cause suction will cause it to go flat otherwise), and output to regulator line. I've got all the connectors I will need. for now, I will be running tankless. when I have the accessories in the bed all set up, I will plumb the truck for a tank.

JeepcoMJ Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 got everything I need except for the pressure cutoff switch, and one 1/4x1/4 threaded adapter. here you can see how little room I have to work with Image Not Found but, on the bright side it's still easy to work with Image Not Found drilling out for 90 degree fitting Image Not Found first holes Image Not Found back of compressor Image Not Found with manifold mounted Image Not Found manifold. I have to weld plugs on the two open holes Image Not Found here's the completed setup Image Not Found air filter and oiler Image Not Found regulator, oil/water seperator, connector. haven't installed the connector/seperator yet because i'm not sure where they will be located. Image Not Found back of the compressor. as stated, i gotta weld the holes yet Image Not Found the braided line is actually water line. copper inside, stainless steel braiding. $3 each at 20" long, and they are meant to hold up to 2,000 PSI. we'll see how they work Image Not Found I do need to pick up a pressure cutoff switch before I can wire this all in. otherwise it's a pretty complete system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeepcoMJ Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 ...it's even better right now, but i still haven't shelled out the $$$ for the pressure switch or unloader valve. i'm gonna try and use an old pressure switch i got layin here before i head up to your place this week... -Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeepcoMJ Posted March 22, 2008 Author Share Posted March 22, 2008 weeelll. finished the unit today. turned out well...now i just have to tape all the threads and put it together permanently, then mount it all in my truck it turned out pretty compact as well Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found i'll have to get an unloader valve at some point, and I'll throw a new pressure regulator in it soon as it arrives. tossed an old one on it for now...not even sure if it works. but. i'm happy with it so far.
