    Yes the belt is marked, but more importantly you want the cam shafts and crankshaft pulleys to be aligned at zero. Getting all three to line up is the hardest part. We couldnt get the belt lines to perfectly match the camshaft lines, but its not a big deal. You can always just draw a new line on the belt.

    i know about em yea...From what i came up with, basically just get this kit.

    http://www.metaltech4x4.com/showproduct.aspx?ProductID=107&SEName=large-air-compressor

    Its compact and fairly cheap. Will air up tires, and run air lockers. Most ppl didn't find the dual pump worth the extra cash.

    You can't run air tools with it tho. The dual one you can tho.

    could always get a small tank tho for short bursts with air tool...idk why you'd want air tools tho, you don't wheel that extreme lol

    Yes you just use the included wiring harness to hook up everything to power and the switches.

    all the arb "kit" is, is the cool tool they make for inflating tires...thats pretty much it. lol


    whoops, i lied. Yes your are right you need the adaptor kit. I believe its a pressure solenoid? so the pump only runs when connected to a tire..i think..i forgot lol ill look into it again.
