okay part 4, hooking it all up!
the parts:
ARB mini compressor, front, rear, and compressor switches, ARB wiring harness, pressure switch, and solenoids
Where to mount our compressor? I think this will work!!
I used a stock bolt that was already on the firewall, and I made 3 new bolt holes with a threaded insert rivet gun for the other compressor support bolts:
Only one new hole and threaded insert pictured. Sorry, Thanks again Harbor Freight, this is a WICKED tool!! So many times this would have come in handy!!
I wont bore you with the details, this is a very straight forward install, wiring, plumbing.... I spent ALOT of time making sure this is done the way we want it, only 3 wires are required for hookup, a ground near the compressor, a battery 15 amp feed, and a interior light wire for the switch illumination.
I soldered all contacts, I carefully routed all wiring, I modified the FJ dash to fit the ARB switches, and I took very special care to make sure the air lines are secure and safe... I have never had an air leak or wiring issue with the ARB's in my BII, I dont plan to start now!
Wifey is in love and I scored HUGE amounts of bonus points!
Colorado was nice enough to give us 18" of snow the next day to try these out!!
Pics:
You can also see the Cobra CB installation, her fog light switch, DVD player switch, and bass control knob... its getting crowded down there!!
I spent Sunday finishing this up and detailing the truck, Ill get some better pics with a CLEAN engine and interior LOL
everything works 100%, FJ + 4.56 on 33's = SCOOTS
Lockers work great, cant wait to hit the trails!!
