    Re: On Board Air - How do you hook it all up?!?!?!

    There are two catches. First it has to be vibration proof and second you have to keep the ultra violet rays off the PVC. It makes it brittle over time. Secure mounting and a little paint should...

    Tony, you can make a tank out of schedule 80 PVC any size or shape you want. Drill and tap a fitting in the double layer of end cap and tube. I have one I made once, if you need a pic.

    Re: On Board Air - How do you hook it all up?!?!?!

    Yup, hose from front to back. I went down the tranny tunnel and anchored the hose with zip ties that have a hole for a screw in the end. I used sort self tapping drill screws designed for attaching...

    Re: On Board Air - How do you hook it all up?!?!?!

    Yes Tony, 3/8". I used the black hose from Sears. I have had two red hoses from other sources that crack in heat and even low shop light. The black stuff has held up even under the hood coming...

    Tony, I bought the black air hose from Sears. Don't use the cheap Chinese red hose. It cracks in about a week. You can use regular barbed fittings and hose clamps

    I have the same tank mounted on the floor. I will eventually move it up on the side of the rear compartment.

    Re: On Board Air - How do you hook it all up?!?!?!

    I think it depends on what kind of speed you want from your system. The 450 is a decent electric painless system. But if you want serious air then the CO2 or AC compressor is the way to go

    Re: On Board Air - How do you hook it all up?!?!?!

    Tony, check around on the street rod sites. They have a lot of air stuff at cheaper prices than the 4X4 world will ever see. Check a NAPA store if you can. They have a free hot rod mag that has...

    Re: On Board Air - How do you hook it all up?!?!?!

    I will disagree on the oiler for the Viair. It is oil less and needs no lubrication, so the oiler and oil trap are not needed. Also Muddy, I would check and see if those have a built in pressure...

    Re: On Board Air - How do you hook it all up?!?!?!

    Tony, it all depends on what you want it to do. But if you want it to run like a shop compressor and be a no brainer, then you need a few things. First, you need a check valve. This keeps the air...
