ok i have a few parts so far and i working on getting some more for an onboard air system, need some ideas of how yall installed your systems, post pics and give me some specs and details of them, also what you guys are useing the for. ex: air horns, run tools, pump up tires

 

 

 

My valves(one for horns and one for locker) and compressor are mounted in my toolbox along with my Haldey horns. My tank is my rear bumper. I'll get some pictures up later.

 

moto thats a damn clean bed install.

 

x2!! That is really slick, I really like it!!

 

thanks moto and t_schloesser, only question is do you guys not worry about someone comeing up to your trucks and messing with the systems?

 

Here are a few pictures of mine, sorry they are blurry. Mathematically I figure the tank to be just under 15 gallons. It takes about 6 minutes to fill it from 0-105psi.

Compressor/manifold/valves/air chuck/gauge/pressure switch:


You can see part of the horns here:


Schrader valve on the bottom of the tank for drain:

And here you can just see the bumper/tank:

wow thats pretty cool that you bumper is your tank, what guage metal is the tank, id be afraid of punturing that thing

 

Hah more than you would think. That was a bad day. lol

It is 1/4" thick, good luck putting a hole in this tank. The end caps are bulletproof(resistant) 1/4" plate from the gunhole covers on a V-100 Commando.

 

nah i'm not worried about anybody messing with it really. you cant reach the bolts from the other side. and have fun cutting a tank off with 155psi in it.

 

That's just crazy!!

 

so wat the story on that i wanna know so bad!!!!!!!

 

Is it not obvious?
That's what happens when you don't use your brain and hook a tow strap to a tow ball. It's how people get killed.

 

bah I dont have pics of any set up of mine on this computer..but ive had 3 or 4 different ones lol

 

I was stuck. I was getting pulled out by an f-250 with a pintle hitch(the style with the ball), I didn't know at the time, but the jackass that was pulling me in the f250 had a 5/8" shaft ball in a pintle hitch built for a 1" shaft ball. The ball cocked in the hitch and ripped out. It looked like he only had the nut on a few threads.

I agree, somewhat. You have to do what you have to do sometimes, but if I had know that he didn't have the right ball I wouldn't have let him pull me. I had a Toyota trying and a Jeep trying, even at the same time a couple times. The entire hitch ripped off of the Jeep. It wasn't a ball, it was the entire receiver along with a pintle hitch. So before you accuse me of not using my brain(if you look I don't have a ball on my truck) maybe ask about the circumstances.

Now on the other hand, you will never see me pull on a ball again and I agree that it is dumb and you shouldn't do it.

 

I wasn't intending to call you out and call you stupid or anything, just trying to prove a point. Someone will look at it and it will stick in their head one day when they or a friend are stuck.
The other person your truck is connected to is the most danger to you, since (if it breaks) it's coming back toward you.

Any time I hook up to someone, I tell them they are responsible for what they hook their end up to if it breaks. But if I'm not satisfied with where they hook it up I will 'suggest' a better spot, and remind them again if anything breaks it is their responsibility. Plus I will not pull until everyone is clear out of the way.
