sick MJ, nice setup

 

thanks guys!

 

Brian and MJ, did either of you add a moisture trap in the system to prevent moisture from getting into the locker lines? I think I heard about that in this thread, actually, and have been trying to figure out how best to add a moisture trap ever since, but I'm not sure if it's worth it, anyways.

 

No but ive heard of that. I asked the guys who installed it for me and they said they've never heard anyone use one

 

No moisture trap, but I leak out my tank every now and then. I barely have any liquid in the system.

 

If you purge the system before hand, like when you air down, you should be fine

 

X2. I think I figure out what I'm doing! Looks good. Is the T junction somewhere under the cab for your air lines? You still running one front/rear?

 

Everything is actually coming off of the tank - which has like 5 ports.



IIRC the ports are:

1: in from compressor
2: release valve
3: rear coupler
4: blocked off
5: air pressure switch/pressure regulator for ARB locker which then tees off to the air gauge in a-pilar and the front coupler. Did it this way to save the amount of air line going from the tank (under bed) to the front of the truck.

air gauge


btw - if anyone ever goes this route, make sure you get at least the 450c model since it has a 100% duty cycle

 

Yeah, that's kinda what I've heard, too. The lame thing about the arb single compressor is that you would have to remove an attachment to drain any water out of the little tank, which is why I'm thinking I'll try to add a trap in the air locker line so at least no water goes in there. I don't really care if water comes out the tire filling hose while airing up.

 

I want a setup like that, with air lockers, tank, and remote control of my RideRite Bags to level on the go while hauling toys.

 

The only downside to my set up is that the locker requires ~85 psi, and I usually don't keep any air in the tank. So I usually turn the switch on at the trailhead (it then turns off/on on its own bc of the pressure switch). But if I forget to turn it on, and I need it on an obstacle, I have to wait until it builds up to 85 psi.

 

CO2 that bad boy.

 

Is that a constant ~85 psi or just a one time to shift the locker?

 

Constant. But turning the locker on/off doesn't use up any psi. The only time you may have an issue is if you have any air leaks in your system. Sadly, I have a very slow leak, but my pressure switch automatically turns the compressor on when psi hits 90 psi (then turns off at 120 psi) so it's not really a problem. In a whole day of wheeling, my compressor will turn on once, maybe twice because it dipped down to 90 psi.

 

I'm looking at the ARB dual one. I'm thinking dual lockers and 1-2 tire fill hook up ports at the edges of the bed. Just wanna make sure I don't run out of air lol

 

You'll be fine

 

:fist pump:

 

diff breather parts came today, along with my rock/courtesy light #prerunnerproblems. Also got a UPS update that my prinsu rack has been shipped. It'll be here Tuesday.

 

Anyone on here with the Dakar pack WITH AAL have a u bolt flip? Im looking to see what length u bolts Ill need for when I do the u bolt flip. Im wondering if my local hardware store has them and would be cheaper to get those separately and get relentless plates.
