JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

ARB twin compressor, 2.5 gal viair tank, ARB locker manifold, Carolina metal Masters passenger seat compressor bracket mount., 2.5" SS oil filled guage (exterior), 1.5" interior psi guage, 2 SS quik connect couplers for hose connections.

Do you have lockers as well?

Also, this is almost exactly what I'd like to do (different location though), do you have a good shopping list of all the couplers, adapters, etc? Are you using a manifold anywhere?

Thanks!

Change the AN to NPT fitting to this... http://www.summitracing.com/parts/AER-FBM2004 and increase your airline diameter. The hole in ARB fitting is half the size of the AeroQuip fitting and will allow more airflow.

I'm seeing some guys run ⅜" hose and others are running the little hard air lines. How much does this matter? I was thinking tires and tools are all about volume, not pressure. Are those little airlines sufficient for moving volumes of air?

I plan to do steel braided hose in the engine compartment, but was considering the air line to feed a quick connect port at the rear bumper.

I never did an upgrade to the lines to increase the diameter, so I have no experience in how much it affects speed.
