Project “Fools Gold”

[Dorbritz]

Working on my On Board Air system using some items I've had for a bit. I wanted something removable and portable when needed.
using a 4 gallon seamless tank with a Viair 444 compressor.
Just waiting on the Swagelok fittings to come in so I can wrap it up.

Using a 200 psi pressure switch. The Viair 444 has a max 200psi. 100psi 100% and at 200 50%.

Compressor mount.

Relay mounted on the back of compressor mount.

I plan on using the bed rack system so I made a aluminum bracket to allow it to mount using T slot nuts and screw knobs.

Rubber feet to help support.

Little mock up and test fit.

Cut hole in the side of the bed to mount plug.

We have power.

I’ll get video and more pictures once the fittings come in.


Sorry so picture heavy. I am better with pictures than with words.

Thanks. I used a HD C14 panel mount and plug. I’ll get more pictures of the it this weekend when I wrap it up.

Got the rest of the fittings and bent my hard lines. Getting closer to wrapping it up. Hopefully tomorrow or Saturday.

All done.
Need to add a pressure relief valve and changing the pressure switch to 175.
Also added some rubber feet to the compressor mount to add some additional support.

Dropped the rear reflectors out of the bumper and added some rear utilities lights. what a difference! Now I can see when I am backing up.
It was more of a challenge then I expected because the reflectors are tapered. I wanted try to recreate that as best as possible so the lights sit flush and not have a gap. wired it in to the auxiliary 4 button in the cab.

Looks great, plus you can flash any tailgaters. Of course, around here if you did that they would start shooting!

Great build thread. I love what you did with the lights. Nice clean setup. What are the lights?

 

[Dorbritz]

Thanks! I got them from Amazon.

Thanks for the link. What wattage did you go with?

Great build so far! I love your color scheme and that on-board air setup is pretty sweet!

If anyone else is curious about those backup lights, Vision X has a plug and play style kit with a light, the bracket and all the wiring you'll need for a very similar solution to the one you made up!

About a month later a went with the Mopar 2” Lift, SCS 17” wheels and 37” BFG A/T’s.
The wheels were originally bronze in color and decided to change it to a matte gold.

Wow i never knew stealth custom series made wheels for jeeps i always thought they were for tacomas and all that since i previously owned a 3rd gen tacoma used it for overlanding(had the ray 10's on it btw) but i no longer have the taco and i now own a gladiator of course but wow i never knew this

This OBA system is the slickest install I’ve ever seen. Very nice work. Are those black brackets and the tank custom? I’ve been looking for a nice aluminum tank for my own project. I found a company called BCFab who makes some nice ones.
