OBA -> On Board Air Mega Thread & BS

Depends on how much he likes to toot his horn but it's not static like a locker and each toot takes a bite. If it's just for normal horn use then it might last weeks but if it's the flight of the bumblebee then might not get through the day.

 

Mf -1050 is on sale at Amazon.

 

I got the ARB twin, and won't be running lockers.

I want a simple switch next to the compressor.

What's the easiest way to do that? Can I use the stock switch and harness without it being all crazy?

 

The harness that comes with the twin has extra stuff for lockers that you don't need.

The twin has built in relays, so all you need to do is wire up the 10ga red wires to +12v on your battery, ground the 8ga black wire, and connect the small purple wire to your switch output.

 

Thank you.

My power harness is already all connected.

I'm having a hard time picturing how just the purple wire getting power would turn on the compressor, but I'll try it when I get home.

 

The purple wire activates both relays.

You do also need to wire up your switch of course.

 

let me know how it works out.

 

Yes, I did the same thing with my single, switch is in a wee little box under the hood. Compressor is on a Slee mount.

 

Okay, so switch still needs a "on with ignition" power.

I was hoping to avoid that, but oh well.

 

That is optional. The switch needs power from somewhere, but it's up to you if you want it to be able to run with ignition or not.

 

I like that, did you make the box?

 

A jumper from the 10 guage main power feed to the switch supply is all you need.

 

I bought a small electronics project box and made a backing plate to attach it to the fender well.

 

Does anyone know if this bracket

Can be used to mount an ARB single compressor in a 3rd gen Tacoma?

 

I know it’s not air related but what gauge wire did you run for the winch from the solenoids
Was it a kit or did you just do it yourself?

 

I ran battery cable. Definitely not a kit. Ordered the cable and lugs and made to length.

 

Fatter is better, winch power is related to how much current can be fed through those cables.

 

Most winches come with 4 gauge when new. Don't use anything less than that.

When I moved my solenoid box to under the hood, I replaced all of that with 2 gauge welding cable.

 

I was thinking 2 or 0
I have a few other short runs that I want to redo that are currently 4
I just wanted to be sure I didn’t need 00 or something heavier like that
