Default Who has an ORO JK York air supply kit installed?

Hey guys, I'm looking to add a heavy duty On Board Air system to my new JK, been doing a bit of research, checking out Jedi.com write up and some other sites. But I've been looking at the kit ORO has to offer... does anyone have pictures of this kit installed? What model York compressor are they running? Thanks for the input!

Default Air Compressor

Dito on the Kilby set up. They use a EF210R York compressor. Very slick and easy install. The finished product works great. It's not cheep but comes with all the necessary brackets and mountimg hardware. Well worth the money in my book.

I like the ORO york kit as it uses the tensioner pulley I dont believe the kilby does. I may be wrong though.

The kilby still uses the stock tension pully. They also supply another another pully that bolts on and a longer belt. I think with the ORO one you don't have to swap out an ac line though.

I have the Kilby kit.
Did any of you guys find a shop that would swap out the AC line? If so how much did it cost?

Default Shop to swap the A/C line?

I took it to a local a/c shop and "had them bleed off the system" I replaced the line in the parking lot (10 Minutes) then asked them to recharge my system. all in all $60 for recharging my A/C.

Side question to this, I have had this system on my JK since 2010 and recently I developed a belt alignment issue. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem. And if they elongated the holes on the the compressor mount plate or had another way to fix it.
