OBA -> On Board Air Mega Thread & BS

The 2nd Gen slee mount has a spot it tucks in next to the power steering reservoir, puts it in otherwise unusable space

 

I have the 11 with no Evap pump, so it’s empty back there. Just seeing if the hole are the same. Kinda want to fill that area up.

 

Most auxiliary fuse panel trays go there. Oops, clutch reservoir.

 

Evap pump is on the fuel tank. Passenger's side of the engine bay would be either ABS or SAIS.

That's on the driver's side. @kingk0ng mentioned the passenger's side.

 

Yeah. Ergo oops.

 

What companies make panel switches for ARB compressors? I need a left side for a 3rd gen MT, and oops ...

 

ch4x4 makes a bunch of different switches. they'll probably have one that fits. I have a 2nd gen so it's slightly different. I used a dremel to widen the slot so the ARB one would fit b/c I wanted the flip portion of the switch.

 

ARB does to. Really nice quality switches. Much better than the Amazon $10 knock offs.

 

An ARB switch came with the compressor, and it is too large for the stock left side (3rd gen). How are folks mounting the ARB switch? Dremel? I couldn't find any other ARB switches.

 

I used a dremel on mine and basically cut out some plastic from the interior from the panel. I just did this on Sunday b/c it had been sticking out like your pic for the last month lol (post #12 in this other thread -- https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...ash-diff-lock-indicator.718479/#post-25694904). My switch and panel is slightly different but the dremel would work.

 

They have other switches. I just installed a heated mirror switch on the left side. It’s the same style as CH4X4 and the knock offs but better quality. You must not have seen this site.

Edit-my bad. These are AOB not ARB.

 

The ARB rocker is made by a brand called "Carling". They are the OG brand for the lighted 4x4 rocker switch

 

Had a little fun running lines this weekend to remote air chucks. Here is a couple of pics and the install video. I did go back yesterday morning and cover the section of the air line you see in the bed under the boards
with some corded trans cooler line I had in the garage.

I relocated mine closer to the firewall by using a piece of flat bar I had and rewelding the reservoir bracket to it, mounting holes are still the same but gave me enough room for my aux fuse box in the "usual" automatic spot.

 

Where did you find the cover for the arb female?

 

Northridge 4x4 has them in stock.

Awesome thanks!

 

This is the cheapest price I could find. The shipping will get you. Some places wanted over 20 for it.

Northridge 4x4 has them as well. I ordered all my parts from Northridge.
