It was a blast wheeling at Rausch creek. My first time with the new axles and 35"s. I love the extra torque and crawling radius. Here's some pictures

So I had some spare time, and I was really itching to have my front locker operational, so I got started on the OBA conversion. I had the coil of copper tubing to help with cooling the compressed air down, it got a 140 psi safety relief valve right on the outlet. The coil goes to the air filter then electrical one way solenoid. That way if the solenoid fails to open, the relief valve will pop off. I also have second relief valve on the manifold just in case too. On the manifold, there's 8 ports, I'm only gonna use 7 of them. The 8th port would be used as mounting point to mount it to the firewall.

Still need to plumb the lines between everything then wire it up.
