On board air

[Shwane]

For those who have on board air systems, where did you mount the intake for your compressor? I'm thinking about running it to my air box, post filter side. Any reason this would be a bad idea?

Here is mine.
Very simple and in expensive.
Comes in very handy.

I connected my previous TJ's OBA's compressor's input airline to a brass barbed fitting inserted into my air intake tube after the air filter. It worked very well. Here's a photo that kinda shows it.

Thanks for the pics fellas. I figured I could eliminate the filter that came with the intake by using the jeeps for a remote install so it doesn't suck up water or whatever.

Mr. Jerry, I am having trouble sourcing a double pulley and a bracket to run the sanden. I've amassed all the other parts (filters, pressure switches, pressure safety valves, etc....) Where did you get yours?

I am leaning on fabricating my own, because whoever made the kilby bracket kits are crazy if they think i'm spending $280 bucks on that.

I have the ARB CKMA12 Air Compressor High Output. It was included with my lockers/axles upgrade. I mounted it in the same place @TJ2 mounted his compressor.

I was planning on lowering my alternator and adding another compressor above it, but now I'm leaning towards the Viair solution. Aside from airing up tires and lockers, I'll probably just inflate beach toys and the like with it.
Possibly some train horns for the Mardi Gras parades.


@JeepNWilly Did you have the evap control box in the way?

The the area on the driver side wheel well behind the washer fluid bottle was completely clear.

ok thanks

I put a platform there as a mounting pedestal on mine.
Just like where JeepNWilly located/installed his.

From Kilby Onboard Air who sold the business to https://www.cuoffroad.com/product-lines/ so I'm not sure if they still sell those dual pulleys or not.
