When I'm done , I will have 4 short 5 foot hoses , which I already have made up. They go from the valve stems , to where ever my hoses end up on each of the 4 corners of the vehicle. I have a 7 port air distribution block mounted underneath the chassis , Center port is the hose from the air compressor , two forward ports are to the two front corners , 2 back ports are to the two rear corners , that's 5 with two left over. One of those will go to the deflate solenoid , the other will go inside the cab to a digital gauge. The digital gauge will have an input port on the opposite side of it to connect a very long hose if I need to inflate someone else or deflate them. The solenoid and the compressor are tied to the Aux beam stealth switch panel I have behind the sunglass holder. SO when airing down , I connect all four short hoses, hit the switch to deflate and out the air comes , or I turn on the compressor and all 4 tires air up at one time. I also will have APEX air release valves as well, so I do not have to wait to deflate. I can literally dump all 4 tires in about 15 seconds from 40 psi to less than 10 , close the valve stems , cut on the compressor and air back up to 15 psi for beach running.
Nice.... where did you find the blue wire loom / sleeving? Thanks!So far all wiring done , compressor done , and stainless steel solenoid installed for deflation. Still have to run air hoses to the 4 corners and inside to a digital gauge but so far everything is working like a champ.
got it from amazon , 1/4 inch braided loom , Pair it with the wirefly heat shrink , when you cut the loom , it will fray , so i slide the heat shrink over the ends and heat it and the adhesive seals the end from fraying more and seals the wire as well.
Yeah , its going to be nice , I am using a 7 port distribution air block and mounting that to the center of the bronco underneath onto the plastic shield around the fuel tank , so the lines are far away from exhaust pipes. The gas tank has a plastic cover all the way around it on three sides but there is a gap of about a 1/4 inch between the actual tank and the plastic shield. I'm going to drill 6 holes into that plastic shield using a metal plate behind where i'm drilling so I do not punch through the gas tank. Then once I have 3 sets of holes that will be above and below where the distribution block will mount , I will use heavy duty zip ties to zip tie between the fittings to hold the block in place. Then run all my air lines carefully to stay away from anything moving or hot then it will all be in place.
That’s one hell of a setup! Just curious why you’re doing all of this vs using something like the morrflate 4 tire kit with one centrally located coupler ?So far all wiring done , compressor done , and stainless steel solenoid installed for deflation. Still have to run air hoses to the 4 corners and inside to a digital gauge but so far everything is working like a champ.
Morflate is all exterior so when you are done , you have to roll all that up and store it away , I'll only have 4 , 5 foot hoses to roll up which take up very little space in the cab. Morflate is also a little less accurate at filling all tires to exactly the same PSI cause the distance from the center to all four tires is not exactly the same you always have one or two tires 1 to 2 PSI difference . Mine will be exactly the same PSI everytime . I will never have to open the hood to inflate or deflate myself or anyone else. Morflate is also cheap parts. I am using 100 percent Milton connections ( best in the industry for not leaking or breaking or wearing ) for all connections but one and that's the ends that connect to the valve stems , they are Jaco 90 degree valve stem couplers. Bluebird hose cause its blue and matches everything else. Its not much more expensive that Morflate but tons more quality.
Yeah , got to run all the hose still but sure when I'm done , will be a you tube video.
as much as I can see this from a heat perspective. I am already going to get shit from my wife for the noise it makes when operating so cutting down the noise 50 or 60 decibels , that is a good thing. I can relocate the air intakes if I need too for a cooler air intake which will lower the operating temperature of the compressors. However , I doubt heat will be a huge issue as this thing is designed to be mounted there. If it fails due to heat then I'm sure ARB will get a call from me.Don’t put your 700.00 compressor under the hood
