A/C to OBA

WrenchMonkey · 10-19-2015, 11:09 PM

Back in August, I had to gut the XJ interior to replace the spring hanger I tore off at Mud Madness. That meant pulling the 12v Viair compressor and 5 gallon HF tank I had rigged up in the back. They worked okay, but the compressor was fairly loud, and the 125psi safety valve had started to blow before the 120psi cutoff switch. So I'd had to knock it down to 105.

I had always intended to convert the AC compressor to OBA, but it never happened. So when a guy from TriState Jeep gave a me a big ole Dewalt tank cheap, I decided it was time to upgrade the whole system rather than reinstall what I had.
