NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Tough Mudder is a military grade obstacle course that supports Wounded Warrior Project. This year will be my 5th time doing it. toughmudder.com for more

 

I'll be running the harness that ARB included with the compressor. Hopefully they've thought of all that already.

 

I stopped supporting WWP after they were investigated for spending 70% of their donations on themselves. I think recently they've changed

 

I haven't contributed anything directly to WWP, just registration fees for TM. @JoeTacoma02 and I did TM a couple times. Did it in Portland a couple years ago, and Seattle last year. This year, I'm doing it with my brothers.

 

I was just giving my 2 cents on WWP not TM itself
I've always wanted to do a TM though.

 

The stock harness is just about perfect for under hood mount. If you go bac seat or in bed cubby, power and pressure wires have to be extended.

 

Finally finished hooking up the

$592 ARB CKMTA12 '12V' On-Board Twin High Performance Air Compressor, Ideal for Air Lockers Locking Differentials, Tire Inflator, Air Horn, Air Tools and Pneumatic Tools.

ARB CKMTA12! Slee mount, Viar leader hose and regulator, and miscellaneous fittings from Tacoma Screw.
Switched with Switch Pros SP-8100!

 

Nice!

 

Only took three months. LOL.

 

Now I'm jealous. I want onboard air, but can't justify it yet since it would only be for filling tires

 

nice, mine is still in the box with the same Slee bracket. Not much free time on my hands these days.

 

I hear you! The bracket is nice. A little difficult installing with my big ape hands, but solid.

 

Sorry I haven't looked at this earlier. I'm doing it now. Quick question, do you want the lights on the switch on full time, or just when switched on? To have it powered when switched on will require only a little extra wiring. I would also recommend 2 basic SPST relays as well, but you wouldn't absolutely need them. Without the relays, the other light might come on a little. If you want lights on only when switch is rocked, wire pin 2 to 8 and 5 to 10. If using relays, connect pin 2 to the coil on one relay, pin 5 to the coil on the other relay. Hook the other side of both coils to ground. Connect 12v+ or green illumination wire to one side of the circuit on both relays, the the other side of circuit to corresponding light, so the relay triggered by pin 2 has the circuit hooked to pin 8, and pin 5 relay to pin 10. The relays obviously need a 12vdc coil and can be 1A rated. Any higher rating is overkill.

Based on your hand drawing being accurate for down to engage 4x4, to make up engage means swapping a few wires around, but most wiring remains as drawn. Instead of grounding 3 and 4, hook those and 10 to 12v+ (IGN purple A5). Ground out 1 and 6. Hook green illumination wire positive to 8. Everything else should match the hand drawing otherwise.

 

Looks nice. One thing I did was run a "t" off the compressor (in yoru case your QD would work) and run a line to the front and rear with a QD so you dont have to pop the hood. And have more range with your hose if filling other people. I just used a cheap 3/8" line from lowes (their kobalt one) and like 15 bucks in fittings.

 

There is a "T" right at the compressor. My eventual plan is to install an air tank and at that point the regulator and quick disconnect will be at the rear. That "T" would only require a short run to a chuck on the front!

 

Finally, after 23 days in the shop I have my truck back!! It feels like i'm driving a tank compared to the Focus rental car I had.

 

The area where you spare used to be can fit a nice 2.5 gal tank and chuck

 

What work got done?

 

Short notice but since I'm off early today I was thinking of a little trip somewhere and camping for the night. Anyone game?

 

Someone side swiped my drivers side, so I was getting that repaired.
