OBA Almost Complete!

    I'm almost finished with my OBA system. Here's a picture of the pressure test. There were a few small leaks but a little bit of tightening with the wrench fixed that. I still need to trim the mounting plate a little more, give it a coat of paint, and then secure everything into place. When complete I'll be able to disconnect and then remove the compressor, tank, and mounting plate all together if I need to work on the engine. My ARBs will run off the tank as well. I have more pictures that I'll either post later or post a technical article when everything is complete.

    Nice work 😎

    It's cool that we have guys working on their rigs themselves.

    Very cool. Keep us posted on the technical article. If you're willing to let us use it, it would make a great addition to the website! 😎

    is that the permanent position that the tank will be at? Is that a 7 gallon tank? if it is then theres a heck of a lot more room in there than i thought!!! You could fit bender in there and shut the hood with no problem it looks like!! 😂 😂 😂

    Bender is adding baby weight now that he does a lot of sitting around. 🙁

    It's the Viair Ultra Duty system and it comes with a 2.5 gallon 200psi tank.



    It's now complete and ready for it's first run on Saturday!



    I'll post more pics when I have some time.
