    I'm not really sure. The switchpro's instructions say to do it that way. I havent looked into it any further and wont until I run a quick connect for air to a bumper. Currently have to get under my hood to hook up the air hose so for now it doesnt make a difference. I do want to get it setup so I dont have to go into the engine bay to use the OBA in the future.

    Yeah it sucks popping the hood every time I want to air up or prime my bait launcher at the beach. One of these days I'll rig up the truck right :rofl:

    Till then Imma practice on this 4R!

    You've learned a lot with the Taco and making improvements on instal with teh 4r. I bet by the time you go to clean it up you'll figure out some more improvements. You sure are getting @MellyMel setup right!

    Why mount the compressor in the truck? Will be loud, imo.

    We thought a lot about mounting it somewhere else. There's not much space under the hood and the space that is available It's reserved for other projects. It's really not that loud, and we'll only be using it when outside the truck airing up tires or using tools.

    If this thing gets a front locker it'll be an e-locker.

    We definitely thought things through (mostly Brandon :p) and really when we tested it yesterday it didn't seem that loud. I was surprised!

    Thank you @trekker for putting so much time and effort in to my 4Runner! You are amazing!

    For sure. It can definitely hold a medium-sized fridge pretty easily, but I was a bit nervous to let it hold a full-sized trekker :rofl::rofl::rofl:
