The Lair

No, just the three. I thought this was a flaw in design because I was wondering where to put my air hose QD. These come off though and are a straight pass-through to the manifold. I'll remove one and put a QD there.

 

Also, now it's leaking where the solenoid enters the manifold. I didn't put any sealant there so I'll do that later. I'm glad I'm getting this all worked out now and not discovering it on the trail.

 

That was exactly why I was asking. That's just odd they didn't put another port on the other endcap. For me, it probably won't ever be a big deal because the chances of me getting a front locker are extremely slim, but it's nice to be prepared.

You're starting to learn why I'll never do air suspension on a car ever again. It's a good idea to seal everything. That's how I ended up with the crap I was talking about earlier. I was using Teflon tape and some of the fittings had stuff on the threads already. Still leaked. I ended up removing every single fitting and putting that crap on it. No more leaks. It took a while to get it to the point where the tank and bags would hold pressure over night. Fortunately, you won't really have to deal with any of that gar-bage.

 

What I may do is just stack the solenoids on top of one another. They say it can be installed either way and my QD won't be putting stress on the solenoid with a hose attached. Idk, I'll see how I want to tackle it. I'd rather not undo the fittings that I just sealed it. I imagine it'll be gummy and a pita if I have to but I don't think there's any way around it.

 

My Spidey-sense says to stack the solenoids. I don't have any other explanation than that. You could wire wheel the fittings clean?

 

It says it's non drying, and yesterday I was using xylene to wipe up the excess with ease. So I'll likely undo them and clean them up with a q tip/toothbrush and some xylene. That should get it good enough. I'll listen to your spidey sense since I was leaning that way as well. I'll tackle that later.

 

Well do I offer a trade of sticker for Matt's recovery matchbox jeep (because we all know #randyfab stickers are priceless and even more limited run)!?!?!

 

You're doing all the pre-work for my locker install! Thanks buddy!

 

Pfffft. I'll fight ya for the Banana!

 

Thanks bae

 

awwww yiss. You'll like em, super easy install. PS I didn't bother installing the drivers side one. The sensor is in front of the axle and with the relocate, the shock is there too. If I get something in there and damage the sensor, good chance other stuff is fuckered lol I ended up selling the second skid to someone.

 

Good to know. I will check mine and see what ends up happening.

 

I'll take your second skid if you wanna sell it. I'm only worried about the stuff im about to drive over hurting my sensors since I'm plowing through trophy truck induced silt beds..

 

You got it. Hopefully can get these installed Sunday morning. Saturday is another busy day.

 

One more leak to track down. No leaks up here and none at the back diff, so it has to be my connection to the front. About to drop the skid. I still had to crack the fuck down on the fittings, more than I was comfortable with, so who knows how much this goop is actually helping.

 

Fair is fair, how much do I owe ya?

 

Well this is not good.

 

It’s definitely more of a pita than I was anticipating.

 

$0. I ordered some decals for the people that Randy has forsaken.

 

Curse at them.
