What did you do to your TJ today?

What kind of fasteners did you use? I need to install mine.

My kid grabbed the ones from the Mustang at the P&P, drilled 1/8" hole and let em rip. I know ascetically it should be even w/ the gas pedal, but I wanted it a little closer to the clutch. Also, I set the bottom hole first and then figured my angle from there (couldn't find any details on set up, the double stick tape wasn't feeling it for me). It ended up the same angle as the go pedal, but just a little further back. [edit] Back as in towards the back of the jeep.

When I installed my Savvy I adjusted it with no test drives. Before I connected the cable to the t-case I noted the position of the input lever at both 2 hi and 4 low. Then adjusted the adjustment nuts at both ends to make sure enough cable was exposed for the throw of both the shifter and input lever. Attached at the shifter first, had the shifter and t-case in 4 hi and then attached to input lever. Only took two trips underneath to get it adjusted and tightened down. Nice smooth shifting t-case.

I could’ve used your help making my install easier/smarter!

I ran that compressor for years mounted under my hood. It's back in a bag now and still use it to fill my tires. Sturdy little unit.

Right on. So did you ever shoot a little oil in the cylinder? Thinking maybe that would do it a lot of good.

Also found a rubber cap to keep on the air hose fitting to keep any engine compartment grime from getting in there.

Moved the evap canister down below to the 2nd battery tray to make room for an air compressor. It's the 1050 Chinese compressor. I unscrewed the cylinder and flipped it 180 so the air filter didn't interfere with anything else. And wired it to the battery with a 30 amp fuse.

I have the same compressor would the hose reach all 4 tires? I might have to do the same

That compressor has been sold under a number of names and part numbers. You can find a lot of modification threads across various forums, I think it's most commonly referred to as the MV50 compressor.

I never bothered, I've done zero maintenance to it. I figured when it died I would just replace it with a Viair or ARB or something, but it never did.

I had mine mounted in about the same spot, and it would reach but it was a stretch. I believe it's not a standard air fitting size, some people drill and tap and use different air lines. I don't recall for sure, however.

Those JK/JL guys shouldn't be the only ones who have cool accessory bars in their rig.

I'm working on an open source version. Should have this available soon. It uses purpose designed 3D printed fittings with 80/20 style extruded aluminum. It will use existing dash screws as hard points.

Currently working on a website called 'OpenOverland' to distribute my designs.

Ordered a GearWorks high pinion 10 inch third member for my YJ project, depending on how it does in the woods, I’ll order some more Gearworks high pinion thirds for my TJ.

Currently waiting on Spidertrax axles to come off backorder status. I believe KOH wiped their stock out.

Pure Ultra 4/KOH beef.

Seriously impressed with GearWorks and their attention to detail.
