So I recently lucked out and found a set of rubi axles with good lockers for 300 cad. Heck yeah. My issue is that the air pump for these lockers will never be a easy thing to find.
So! Hear me out...
Standard compressor to a small air tank, line from air tank to a regulator capable of 5 psi, to a on off valve, to a 10 psi pop off valve, then split with controls for front rear locker.
I understand that other companies used the same compressor and they are more available but if I can get rid of the single purpose compressor and use my general use onboard air. I'd much rather have it all in one and be able to easily replace parts.
 
I bought 2 used pumps last year from Rubicon Resurrection. I do not remember the price but it was reasonable. I did not need them but I’m stocking up on parts for future needs. They came with very detailed installation instructions.

I’m a customer too- your don’t want to damage those bladders.
 
There was a write up here with an ARB pump that would shut off at 5psi. I can’t find it, might have been on one of the Rubicon axle swap threads.
