Nice install!

That looks very clean. Out of sight and tucked in nicely with no drilling required. Awesome. I’m not ready for this mod...but it looks like one I can tackle when the time is right. I’ll need Aux switches before I can do this.

There’s a kit the provides a replacement for the drivers side cowl drop that provides Chuck and switch mount behind a cover. It looks like the charge port on the 4+e

good job. thanks for sharing.

Nice install video. I also bought the Sherman Cap, they need to make it in black. I plan on plasti-dipping mine.

This is a year late, so hopefully I can still get an answer. I’m doing an identical install on my Gladiator this week. So the main power hooks directly to the battery. But how did you do the switch wiring? I’m using my factory aux switch, like you did, but which wire from compressor did you use? The purple to the aux wire and black to body ground or just the purple?

Installed the same Grimm setup year and half ago. Went to install inner fenders and found out that that location causes issues 😢

Could you just remove the inner fender liner to install? Seems easier and you just have to replace the plastic rivets

What happens when your articulating through an obstacle and the front tire hits the wheel well, does the tire also hit the a/c? Or doing a deep water crossing, I'd imagine the a/c would get soak or probably short out.

It's far enough that it won't rub or hit the air compressor and the air compressor is designed to take abuse from the elements... I've had one in my JK for about 6 years now in all kinds of water crossings and still going strong.

@23:19 So there.. she is guys! Yes sir! 😎✌️

Wish that kit worked on the diesel.

Could that air system be waterproof? I was thinking of installing that unit on the rear between the frame rails on a RAM 2500. I was wondering once it rains would that damage it?

As long as you keep the air filters out of the water you should be good.

Is the compressor hooked directly to the battery and then aux switch wire is used as turn on? Or did you use the 30amp aux switch wire as your hot lead?

@BullGearOffRoad

3 жыл бұрын

Yes, it's connected directly to the battery and only took the on/off switch lead from the control harness to the 30amp aux switch wire.

I can't seem to find this kit with all the (JT/JL) mounting hardware anywhere. Only one I can find is either just the compressor or the in-cabin mounting kits.

The manifold kit would install through the main air line on top of the unit. You then can mount to the front of the compressor mount or relocate it elsewhere.

Where did you connect the igition wire? And what is the wire that is supposed to be connecting to the illumination wire used for??? Does this have a light? I know the ignition wire is so you dont use it with the car off but i have no clue what the illumination wire is used for?

Illumination wire is used to light up the symbol on the switch so you can see it at night

Is that an ARB air chuck? in the Sherman cap?

Silly question here, but isn't that location exposing it to water when crossing a river and such?

@BullGearOffRoad

Жыл бұрын

I kind thought that too originally but in talking to an ARB rep, they told me that they are designed to withstand the elements and we are relocating the air filters to the hood line as well so they assured there would be no issues. I do have my JK and my Bronco compressors installed in the engine bay. After 2 years of trails and some water fording, I not had any issues with it... still going strong.

Actually, I realized that I probably didn’t need it on the air hose connectors but I did on the main connector on the compressor side. The braided hose did not need tape.

Great video!! What size tires do you have on your rig? Do you recommend the single compressor on 35’s or do I need the tween system. I just got a Jeep and I am trying to figure out all of this. Thanks in advance.

Hi Alejandro, Those are 37" Mickey Thompson's. I'm running a dual air compressor, I had a single compressor but it would occasional shut off because it would get too hot. I haven't that had issue with the dual compressor and it's quicker.

Do you think the hood needs to be open to charge?

Yes.. but keeping the events out of water is key. I've had one on my JK for 6 years now and have had it soaked and still works good. I think if you get the vents under water you just have to make sure it dries out before using.

Am I the only one who thinks this is the worst spot ever to place it? I go in water that would submerge that entirely two or three times a year. This is a west coast only mount.
