    So I just bought a slee off-road mount and compressor. I plan to make a diy wifey system. How do you setup the pressure so when filling up it stops at say 35 psi? Adding a regulator? (Most setups I just see a gauge? )

    A pressure regulator switch. Its more or less a sensor installed downstream of the compressor air line that when PSI gets to a certain pressure will trip and tell the compressor relay to start filling up. It will also have a top range so that when it hits it, will trip again and tell the compressor to stop filling. Common ones are 120-150 PSI, though I am sure you could find one to fit the pressure band you are looking for.

    For those of you running Slee's ARB Twin mount for the second gen, what are you doing to keep the power steering fluid reservoir from popping out of its relocated mount? My reservoir keeps popping out of the bracket after the locking tab works its way back to vertical, and I'm concerned that I'm going to have a hose pop off at some point.

    I've got the 2nd Gen Slee on my 3rd Gen. Never noticed my reservoir loose but I'll check to today.


    Edit:

    Checked and mine is secure. Relocated it a few years back with this setup.

    Just installed an OBA setup, pretty happy with how it turned out. 2.5g tank is sitting on top of my hitch bar fastened with U-bolts, the stock spare still fits in just barely. Have the compressor (Viair 325c) mounted on top of the driver bed cubby so it's hidden out of the way. Have the air lines and wiring running through the tailight area, then mounted a quick connect and the gauge/switch inside the bed cubby. Pretty stoked that everything fit where I wanted it, though the compressor was a pain to get mounted on top of the bed cubby.
