York is all installed and up and running. Very nice to have unlimited air. Runs my air tools with no problems!!!!!! The 1.75 gallon tank was a tight fit!!!! It is on the driver side tucked into the back corner by the rear spring.

What happens is that the air output from the compressor to the manifold goes through an oil filter and reservoir. The reservoir holds the excess oil until full. When that happens, I leave the compressor running and open a valve at the bottom of the oil reservoir and the air pressure pushes the excess oil in the reservoir back into the compressor to re-use it. It is a pretty slick system.....

I did a time check on filling a tire with the York today. With a 40 inch tire deflated to 2 pounds, it took the York 1 minute 38 seconds to fill it back up to 30 pounds. I only run 22 pounds of pressure on the street, so my air time will be around 1 minute to fill each tire. I like it

I got most of the sway bar system installed today. I just need to take the arms to a metal shop tomorrow and get a "Z" bend put in them to clear my rear springs...
First step was to cut some of the fender well trim to get the outer tube in position from frame rail to rail

Next was to clean up the frame rail for the weld on brackets that hold the sway bar outer tube in position

Next was to tack weld the brackets in place

Thanks, out-boarding the shocks was one of the best mods for the rear axle I did. Huge performance gain...With the addition of the rear sway bar, the front and the rear will work together for off road traction. Most important, it will really help with body roll in off camber situations, and I seem to spend a lot of time in those situations 😈

Outboarding my shocks and that sway bar are two mods I want to do soon.

Well I tried to get the perfect 50/50 balance between the front and rear, but failed, so I settled on a swaybar 🙂 and don't be a Blaine hater. Some people idolize him!!!!!
