is that air tank bracket angle iron? You're making great progress. It's cool to see you get all your friends involved.

Ha! Sounds like a good time man.

Finished the drop down bracket for my tank last night. I'm satisfied. No vibration.

Thanks man! I was busy laughing my arse off and taking pics that night. BTW your build thread was the first I had seen on this site and really made me want to be a member and participate on here. I hadn't seen the drop member before and I am struggling with my self not to do it... Ahhh the pressure!

I appreciate the comment! Yeah, its angle iron. My friends were more than willing to throw down their own brand of chaos.

ammo box installed to protect my compressor from road debris. Gunna monitor how hot the compressor gets and play the course of action by ear.

Plan on getting the air line and wiring routed tonight.

jcaugmented · 04-27-2011, 04:33 PM

Also love it when I can use exsiting holes in the frame.

**67cheby** · 04-27-2011, 04:46 PM

why dont you take a hole saw and put several 2 inch holes on the cab side of the ammo box to let it breath, no holes on the tire side that way it keeps the water and debri out !

I may do something like that man. Thanks for the suggestion. I'm so frickin ready to get the system all put together and see it work on its own... That feels like the hump to get over at the moment...

Got the air lines routed, connected, and organized. But, progress was thwarted by lack of appropriate wire and connectors. Called it quits for the night and will swing by the store on the way home tonight and hopefully get this thing operational.

driving trough your hometown with that paint and the phrases painted on there might raise a few eyebrows for sure, lol..

Great start, i like what you have done so far.

Wiring completed and air ride is now operational! Now, tear it all back apart and paint this dang frame and all the brackets. Pics will be posted this weekend.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 04-29-2011, 12:14 PM
