how you intal the shifter? you don't have any adapter or something like that?
No adapters used in my setup, I just drilled a hole the same size as the shifter handle. I still use the stock plastic linkage to activate the shift interlock.

But how you activate it? In stock there is a button that you need to push to activate.
It sits tide?
I wanna do it on my jeep, but I don't like these ugly adapters.

In my setup I have essentially bypassed the safety mechanism of pushing the button, by making the hole I drilled a tight fit around the shift handle.
Basically its always pushed down, so I only have to move the shifter no pressing buttons or stepping on the brake.
Measure your shifter diameter using a caliper and get a drill bit 1/32 smaller, then use a Dremel tool to make it a tight fit.
You want it to be a very tight fit in order to keep the shift interlock depressed.
I went through 4 billiard-***** before I got it right.
Keep in mind doing it this way removes the safety system installed by Jeep from the factory, allowing you to move shifter without stepping on the brake.

I purchased a Viair 444c air compressor and used my rear bumper as an air tank.
Inlet and outlet ports on the drivers side of the rear bumper.
Drain valve on the passenger side of the rear bumper.
I used air brake hose line, rated @ 225 PSI for all of my lines.
I will be changing these fittings out for 90 degree fittings to relieve some pressure on the lines
Here is the manifold I made to fit in Dat Jeep.
160 PSI gauge, 150 PSI relief valve, 120 PSI OFF/90 PSI ON pressure switch and regulator/air line dryer.
Mounted to rear quarter panel plastic
Hidden quick disconnect line fitting air brake line adapter end.
My air system quick disconnect fitting is hidden behind my fuel door next to my fuel cap for a clean install look.
Mounted the compressor to the floor to prevent lines from becoming disconnected during travels and to discourage theft.
Cleaned this up a bit.
All wired up, the system utilizes a relay and uses the pressure switch to control when the compressor turns ON/OFF. I also installed a secondary manual ON/OFF switch to prevent the compressor from running when not in use.
Air lines all run neatly through the vehicles body/plastic paneling with grommets to prevent damage.
Simple ON/OFF switch.
Used my existing rear outlet box for the discharge line.
2 Minutes 32 Seconds to fill rear bumper tank to 120 PSI @ 21 degrees F.
Should get faster when its warmer outside.
This tank/compressor system is for OFF-ROAD USE ONLY! - Meaning I will never drive around with a pressurized rear bumper, only filled when parked as needed.
If I were to ever be rear-ended, the last thing I want is to have the bumper be pressurized and blow up from the impact.
Pretty nice, I have a 3 gallon tank I have thought about using but the air compressor I have is pretty efficient with out a tank and I use it just to air up after wheeling.

Thanks I always appreciate feedback on my modifications.
The Viair compressor would work just fine by itself, but I liked the idea of having stored air for faster fill-ups and the ability to use air tools if needed.

Old LCAs had to be cut out, bolts were seized inside the metal sleeve.
They had a lot of side-side play in the brackets and the bushings were torn on both ends on both LCAs.
