could do this for oba. fairly inexpensive and 100% duty cycle

 

Vlair with a tank. Can't go wrong. They are the premier compressed air guys from low riderz to big rigs.

 

My old 96 Dodge I was running two compressors they where ViAir with a 6 gallon tank for the air bags. I went through a couple pressure switches but other then that they worked good.

 

Josh
I need pics and details of you swing out light please

 

Thats a sweet setup there Mr. DB

 

well replaced the driver side cv and oil seal.....in process found lower steering stop bolt frozen......outer cv dust seal imploded.......replaced hub and bearing.....origonal oil seal was in perfect shape when we removed it....
with the new one in it still leaks about the same.....
i have loads on play at the needle bearing.....
well i just ordered the solid spacer from ecgs.
so it looks like i will be doing this again in future.....
got home last night and blew rear brake line.....fun fun......
fabed up my rear carrier mount......
stay tuned

 

ok so today
i pulled off lower control arms
all the grease worked wonders..been about a year since i lubed them and they came right out like butter.....thank god...
installed new lca's, moog lower ball joints "dam they were shot"
replace the drive side needle bearing in front diff with the ecgs solid bushing....
went pretty smooth......i will not lie there were some sketchy parts...
new drive side diff seal...
(2) new cvj axles.....as old ones had 100K on them and boots were getting worn and lots of clicking n popping........
replaced pass side wheel bearing, spindle to cv' dust seal,o-ring
so now i have pretty much a brand new front end......
BUT I NEED TO CUT OFF THE LCA'S FRAME MOUNTS AND START OVER....OMG THEY ARE HAMMERED.....................
i am going to check out some junk yards and see if i can go cut them off another truck and weld to mine

brand new upper and lower ball joints, lca, wheel bearings, cv's,seals, needle bearing removal,

next up
drive shaft, weld rear diff armor, weld tire gate, run air lines and mount n wire compressor "when i find some more cash", get the new tires i have swapped in and alignment...DAVE REST UP

 

talk to mjp2 about that. his shop could do it NP but it's going to be pricey

please do not rig up your IFS with old shit parts cut off some wreck and welded on - you will only break them again. talk to MJP2

when O had my lca's off I could bend both brackets by hand. they are cheap and shitty. beef that shit up. you still have to pay on this thing for 4 more years.

some shit shop does it and you will never get your alignment right and eat tires like the cookie monster eats cookies.

oh and what you doing with old LCA's? Ill take them .....

 

he is using a heat exchanger and a 12 volt pump... not exactly similar.
he literally has on board hot water.. not just a pressurized water jug

heres the light

I didnt design the mount but if you get a piece of pipe and weld it to your bumper vertically and get another piece of pipe that slips inside the other pipe and mount a light on top of it youre good to go. the outer piece of pipe has a threaded hole "bung" and a wing bolt to keep the inner pipe secure. then the inner pipe can be moved up and down and angled where ever you want.


maybe if you came wheeling with us sometime youd get to see it in person

 

update of water can
this will be the holder for can carrier on my tire swing out.....
