love that cb i cant wait to get me another one,great build

 

Read through your thread again and again. Love seeing the updates! Quick questions, where'd you get the a-pillar lights from?

 

Thanks man! Glad you like it!

I bought them on ebay. they came off a crown vic. Thanks for stoping in!

 

My next project is the On board air AC converion!
Still in the hunt and gather stage. Here is what I have so far.
HF 11 gallon air tank, HF auto retractable hose reel, inline filter, inline fog oiler, T valve and pressure gages. and a few high pressure hoses. Also bought a 200 PSI compressor but I may stick with the stock AC unit for now and see how that goes. I think I need to return both the oiler and filter because I bought the 3/8 and not the 1/4 size.

 

No problem. Love seeing rigs built like this. Exceptional wheelers while have a second purpose other than a DD! Take care until next time, I'll stay sub'd.

 

I think with the 11gallon tank and the ac unit converted you should be happy my dad and brother have on board air that way and they have no issues.

 

Thanks man! Thats great to hear! That makes me feel much better. I had one guy telling me that the 11 gal tank was to big, but I always thought that more volume was better for running air tools.

 

it might take a little longer to buuild presure to start but remember that the ac pump runs at a high presure i think my brothers regulating blow off valve is set at 125psi.

 

Hey it pays to clean the garage ha ha, I forgot that I bought this set of air tools to go with the OBA


Ya I think that the tank is rated at 125, so (I think) lol, it's not supposed to go over 125 psi. Thats the next thing I am looking for is the pressure switch and some hose. Hey thanks for all your input man!

 

i know my brother got his presure release valve from a old compressor we had out back.

 

Well I needed that OBA last night. We were called on a rescue mission up on the peak last night. Wow what a night, but we got everyone home safe. I think I cooked my trany. When we got back to the pavement I found it drives like im power braking going forward. Going backwards its fine. Also my oil pressure dropped from 20 to about 5 at an idle. But once again she got me home. Try to get it to the shop tomarrow. Heres a few pics.

 

Looks like the dude in the Expedition is about to shine one of those HUGE flashlights at you. Glad everyone got home safely.

 

Wow rich that just looks messy hope your Xj isn't hurt to badly. One of these days when my Xj is up to par I want to join the local search and recite up on the norther Washington area

 

Hey is the cowl hood new?

 

Red82, thanks yeah he never did turn it on I think he had it hanging from his Rearview mirror.

Hey Shane! Great to hear from you. Yes it was definitely messy up there very slippery. I even put my rig in the ditch once. Right now since my rear locker is broke, I'm running open in the back and locked in the front. Driver side back wheel Caught a rut and started pulling me down into the ditch , Then I tried to power out of it made it sideways Had to stop when I was looking at the cliffside. Tried to straighten out by backing up, then my front end dropped into the ditch. I went back and forth about four times and just got deeper realized I better use the winch. LOL That's great Shane, I look forward to seeing you hook up with a search and rescue team.

No I've had the cowl hood for about two years I believe.
