I added an adjustable pressure gauge to mine that can be set to shut off when my tire is to a certain set pressure....works great , no more checking the pressure every few minutes from tire to tire...I can air up ( 8 PSI to 32 PSI ) in about 3-4 minutes a tire.....can't beat that..i love my ARB

What kind of guage is it? I have the ARB air hose with the clip on end, but I'm looking hard for something like you're describing...

Default I agree

I got mine installed as well and have started to look for an air tank. Install went pretty good...except half way through the included relay went absolutely retarded and decided to no longer shut down.

Picture this, I am soldering the last wire in the install (the switched ignition wire on the interior harness red/yellow wire) and the compressor starts all by itself. So I shut off the switch inside and nothing happens so I figure the pressure switch will stop it, well it doesn't. So I am in a panic now 'casue the pressure relief is now relieving and I am desperatly trying to yank out that big bejebus inline fuse and it wont budge. Finally I grab a wrench and disconnect the 12volt constant at the battery.

Not sure why it did this but sure enough when I replace it with a Canadian Tire relay it works exactly like it is supposed to. Didn't change anything else and the interior rocker switch and pressure switch work just fine now. Not sure what that was all about. Other then that it was an easy install.

I followed the instructions off the project-jk site and it was really helpful except that it makes no reference to hooking up a 12 volt source (ignition preferably) to the red/yellow wire stated above.

I will get some picture of the install and where I mounted the switches. May have to wait for the weather as even though it's middle of April we have another week of snow in the forecast.

Here is where I mounted my switch. I am too cheap to fork out money for an aftermarket switch pod, at least at this point. I just cut in a spot on the stock driver sideA pillar. Still enough room for one more above it, for the air locker....but shhhhh the wife doesn't know yet.

don't have a pic, but..you can go to anyplace that sells compressors and they will have them...it's just an in-line pressure gauge but it is adjustable..like the gauge on any compressor.I prefer to use the 0-60 gauges, they are more accurate than the 0-160 gauges most compressors have...use that with a couple of fittings bought at said compressor shop or even better...home depot carries all you need
