Engine bay but I have a first gen

 

I don't have an installed picture but I used the Expedition Essentials mount that replaces the cubby in the bed.

The fist picture is just the mockup of the compressor in the mount
The second picture was a test fit installation.
The third picture shows how tight the fit is with a @Pelfreybilt HC bumper.

 

If anyone is looking for a clean 1st gen 4X4, this was just listed in the SLC, UT area...

Pretty clean 1st gen with not so bad miles.

 

Nice I hadn't seen that one before. Unfortunately I have a single compressor and not the twin so I don't think I'll be using that mount.

Thanks, I like that mount and it would be the one I'd buy if I mount it in the bed. I'm going to be using the single compressor with a 1-gallon vlair tank so I'd have to mount the tank elsewhere. Probably in the spare tire location. My only issue with that mount is it's not sealed and those cubbies are right behind the rear wheels. It gets dirty as hell's dustbowl in there.

 

It's this one here.

$60 VIAIR 91014 1 Gallon 4-Port Air Reservoir Tank with 1/4" NPT, Black

It's not large. I haven't bought it yet because what fittings I need change depending on where I decide to mount the compressor.

 

Yes Yes it does. My bed has a shell on it and I haven't had a chance to finish putting the cubby door back on so the inside of the bed/shell is dusty has hell right now.

 

I used the Slee Off Road mount. It moves your power steering resivoir and puts the compressor nice and snug in the engine bay.

I do have a 2nd gen though. Not sure what they made for 3rd.

 

Under the hood. Passenger side. I'd never put that shit in the cab. Too loud.

 

Yeah I would never put it in the cab.
I wouldn't even put it there if I was just using it for airing up tires.

 

Pretty sure you just need the manifold for lockers.

 

Lockers and Air tools, but not for use I'd consider to be prolonged, mostly for airing up tires. If I did choose to mount the tank in the spare tire location, I would have plent of room for a larger tank.

Yeah I had a shell on my last truck and am no stranger to that haha. I suppose with the EE mount I could just go crazy with the silicon and try to seal it up. If that were the case I'd probably mount a couple computer fans in there for cooling.

 

Any of you know this asshole by chance?

He has $2k in Kings that he was already refunded for when he cancelled his order. But he wants $400 to hand them back over to Fedex

 

4Runner guy, Pacific Grove sadly. Don't have too much info on him

 

Fucking King shipped to his address still.

 

Exactly. Very far. Just curious if anyone happens to know him. The distributor is going to refund the $2k, but it isn't worth the legal fees to charge him with fraud, so he'll probably keep the shocks and his money

 

wow that's fucked. My mom lives in Monterey, teaches at a secondary school for kids that get kicked out of 'normal' ones...I can see if she'll go kick his ass lol.

 

damn, Firestone Pasadena flat out told me they won't do anything but stock alignment numbers and so did 3 other mom 'n pop shops I called in Pasadena. Found one in Glendora that said they could do it for me, Bear Frame & Wheel...gonna get there Saturday morning and see what they can do.

 

Lame.

 

Need to go to firestone on La Brea by 10 freeway. No other firestone will touch my truck.
