I totally agree that their marketing is next to nothing and in dire need of some real world exposure! I’m not sure if they’re hoping their super repetitive social media posts will be sufficient or if they’re thinking existing owners will do the work for them.
I’ve had the cap installed now for...
I'm using the Yakima LockNLoad platform with the Skyline Towers. I think I need to still add another two towers in between the four corners to help distribute the weight though.
I purchased these from Amazon:
P-AC-04N Mounting Clamp Shell,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D67FYTN5?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
The design has more of a 90° angle instead of the arched style of what was previously used.
A little of both I think but I also found that the seal the installer used was really thin. I replaced it with a thicker(1/2” thick) seal, shifted it back as far as possible and replaced the clamps. The aluminum clamps they used bent and weren’t as tight as they should have been.
so far, the...
I also took advantage of the Launch discount but picked up the top back in March. I must say I've been really impressed with how much weight this thing will carry but the suspension of the truck along with the center of gravity being so high makes it super sketchy.
I've added a molle rack to...
I'm in the process of using the Mopar harness but also having to splice in an additional 12" or so to reach from the rear tail lights to the engine bay. I'm recording the whole thing so I can post the link here after it's done if anyone is interested.
So now that a few of us have finished installing their OBA systems, how do they look? More importantly though, how are you connecting to them?
I see a lot of systems using PTC (push to connect) fittings in place of quick connects which is definitely a cheaper way to connect air lines but the...
In the floorboard right by the door is a plastic plug covered by what looks like a piece of dynomat. I removed the synod at patch and drilled through the plug. I then used two 90° push to connect fittings to keep the air lines tight to the floor.
The muffler will also heat up however the cradle turns up and acts as somewhat of a shield as well even though the only thing that’s going to protect is the air tank. The supplied heat shield is plenty to protect the area in which the pumps, air lines and wiring come close to the exhaust.
Oh yeah, sorry; I spoke to Ivan who said they are a few weeks out on starting production again but that they still had a few of these Gen. 2 cradles laying around the shop. It was $250 which seems a little steep but seeing the quality of this thing in person explains the cost.
This is the Gen 2 if I’m not mistaken. Their first design had the compressors on either side of the tank.
There will be a Youtube video of this once up and operational along with a parts list. Here’s a shot of the acrylic overlay we’re messing with. SUPER rough design right now though.
I'm in the process of installing their cradle with a pair of 400C's.
I also looked at the UpDown Air system but can't justify the cost for what's included in the kit. My buddy has a fiber laser and we'll knock out a panel for the pressure regulator, gauges and switch for a fraction of what...
Looking to sell my stock Rubicon wheels and tires. They have about 500 miles on them. I really liked the Falken Wildpeak A/T’s just too small at 285/70/17. Asking $1,200.00 for all five.
Sorry, local pickup only for those willing to drive to the San Fernando Valley as shipping is crazy.
