One will come available when you're not gung ho on it.correct,
My shop looked at it and said it wont bolt on.. Shame because that was a decent price for a dana 44 with e locker in it.
That's always the best time to buy

I made my own CO2 tank for around $190 or so. I bought a 10 lb. aluminum CO2 tank online for around $100 from an online beverage parts distributor, a CO2 regulator for around $50, and the rest of the parts in my local Home Depot and hardware store.do you have a recommendation on a more cost effective solution? Also do you have a co2 tank brand and setup recommendation?
How many tires can you air up before a refill with that tank?I made my own CO2 tank for around $190 or so.

I just discovered Amazon now has the tanks for $105 including free shipping. Make sure to get one with a handle like this one shows.... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086XKB46F/?tag=wranglerorg-20
This regulator would be perfect and comes already set up. I had to build mine up to be like this one... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081S7YYPC/?tag=wranglerorg-20
Neither of those were on Amazon when I built mine so it's easier now.

I can fill up all four of my 35x12.50R15 probably four times, maybe five. So that's 16-20 35" tires going from 8 to 25 psi.How many tires can you air up before a refill with that tank?
Nice. That was a good bit more than I was expecting. I have the Kilby's on board air system. It works fine but I think the tank is quicker. And with that kind of refill range, it's a real consideration. I'm at about 5-8 minutes a refill per tire. When it's late January in Johnson Valley you feel every minute. lolI can fill up all four of my 35x12.50R15 probably four times, maybe five. So that's 16-20 35" tires going from 8 to 25 psi.
That higher rated compressor is not the standard small ARB compressor most commonly installed with their lockers.I use my single ARB compressor to air up my 33s. It takes about a minute and a half per tire to go from 15psi to 32psi.
I installed a Kilby kit into my previous TJ using a York F210 compressor sourced locally for $30. I'm sure it put out about the same volume and refilled my tires just as quickly as my present CO2 tank does. I miss that York and that Jeep (stolen).Nice.

Agreed, I have one on my 2000, not what you want to air up with. If they have a larger one that would help.Only if you buy a big ARB compressor which is expensive. The standard ARB air compressor puts out just a tiny amount of air, suitable only for locking the locker, but not even close to being large enough to consider using it to air tires up with.
Good point. I'll check for that.I installed a Kilby kit into my previous TJ using a York F210 compressor sourced locally for $30. I'm sure it put out about the same volume and refilled my tires just as quickly as my present CO2 tank does. I miss that York and that Jeep (stolen).
I made sure all my York fittings and hose were 3/8" I.D. so it could produce its full potential CFM capability. Perhaps yours has an unnoticed 1/4" fitting or two mixed in somewhere that slightly reduces its potential output CFM slowing it a bit?
Built right the 30/35 combo can certainly handle 35’s. Bigger than that, not so much - but then you are opening up another whole can of worms…Subscribed. Going to have some upgrades done over the coming winter. Didn't know the 30/35's were capable enough to retain.
Without a locker Dana 35 can handle going offroad with 33's. If you want inside that Dana 35 or you want to run 35's, you need to install a Super 35 kit with 30 spline 1541H axle shafts.Subscribed.

Thanks much, going to do some shopping... I will get the work done this early in the fall after the local rallys are done.Without a locker Dana 35 can handle going offroad with 33's. If you want inside that Dana 35 or you want to run 35's, you need to install a Super 35 kit with 30 spline 1541H axle shafts.
The front Dana 30 can handle 35's stock, but it needs replacement 4340 axle shafts, 27 spline is fine, to also run a locker.
if you're definitely going to 33s you might want to rethink that, depending on your transmission, if you have a 5 speed consider 4.56 or 4.88s. I'm not sure which ratio works best for auto transmissions.Plan is:
I'd like to end up with 4:10's (I think) have 3.08's now I'm told, she really drags on the grades.
3 inches of lift should work for 33s provided you have added the appropriate bump stops. Most will recommend 4 inches for 33s however.go from the 31's to 33's, have 3" lift now, hoping that's enough to accommodate the tires. Also thinking a skid plate for the new oil pan, my oil pan is pretty beat up, now pump oil out of it.. All help is appreciated!
