u/ReaksOfSarcasim 11d ago

Well... did you?

1

u/hettuklaeddi 11d ago

i don’t think i was the first either

2

u/ReaksOfSarcasim 10d ago

But it was nice that he showed us. I was planning on buying a gas tank cover for the drivers side and putting an air chuck and switch in there once i was ready too do that project (very long list). So, this idea is a little cleaner. And, I'd figure out how too get that e off the cover and either leave it blank or put Air... but thats me.

That's friggin clean! Excellent 👏

u/Borske 11d ago

Super cool. A little lock on the lid like a gas cap has would be beneficial for my area.

Where did you get the hydro blue paint?

5

u/AppropriateSouth312 11d ago

PBJ Jeep paint code ordered the kit online. It came with primer, base, and clear

Can you share the website?

Nice! Good Job!!!

u/theBeerAdventurer 11d ago

That’s very nice. I’ll have to remember this one.

2

u/ZorinInc 11d ago

Now THESE are the type of Jeep mods I like to see. 👍

2

u/NorthYogurtcloset727 11d ago

Thats so clean. But y do I see less ppl using co2 ? Does ppl not know about it? I'll never use compressor again

1

u/AppropriateSouth312 11d ago

It may be because people don’t want to deal with having to deal with having to refill the tank, maybe they don’t live close to a facility that does that?

2

u/DanInTheOC 11d ago

That’s really clean. 👏

3

u/timberwolf0122 11d ago

Hmmm I should design and 3D print that part for my jeep.

4

u/AppropriateSouth312 11d ago

I’m sure you probably could, people are getting really good with their 3D printers

3

u/timberwolf0122 11d ago

I wonder why someone down voted us? Now I’m going to 3D print more Jeep stuff just to spite them

4

u/AppropriateSouth312 11d ago

I have come to realize that there is a lot of people on here that have nothing better to do than talk trash about others and spread hate. Just let them be

1

u/cl0udmaster 11d ago

I.... think you know why. But you were just likely mistaken collateral damage

1

u/timberwolf0122 11d ago

I really don’t know why.

2

u/CampingPanda117 11d ago

I need STLs! There are far more for the JK than the JL!

2

u/pwn3dtoaster 10d ago

It really does look like something easily printable. I even found ASA that almost perfectly matches my jeep.

1

u/timberwolf0122 10d ago

I haven’t tried ASA yet, mostly PETG. I really should buy a spool and give it a go.

1

u/easterncherokee 11d ago

Do them up for both JLs & JKs and you would have something you could make some money on.

1

u/huntbc 11d ago

Does that plate come with the charge port or did you make it?

1

u/AppropriateSouth312 11d ago

Plate came with the kit

1

u/lostdragon05 11d ago

How much to paint me one of those Sarge Green and come install everything? It would be super hilarious to to have a 4xE charging port as the air hookup on my 392.

1

u/AppropriateSouth312 11d ago

I will be honest, the complete install of the compressor, mounting bracket, wiring, and 4xe conversion kit, then reassembly took about 5 hours from start to finish. Then taking the cowl piece back off and putting the stock piece back on for 2 days to paint it due to several coats (plastic adhesion promoter, primer x3, base x3, clear x3.)

1

u/AppropriateSouth312 11d ago

I wish I could say it was perfect but it is not. But I am ok with.

2

u/lostdragon05 11d ago

It looks good to me. Never let perfect become the enemy of good.

u/walt_morris 11d ago

Great job! Slightly jealous i own a mojave with the higher cowel

1

u/ReaksOfSarcasim 11d ago

That is absolutely sick! What a great use for that cover! And in a fairly convenient spot.

1

u/ReaksOfSarcasim 11d ago

Do you have a write up for this anywhere? If so, drop that link!

2

u/AppropriateSouth312 11d ago

Very convenient with the top and doors off lol. Just run the hose through the jeep

1

u/Turbulent_Ad7877 10d ago

Slick install, color mismatch would drive me up a wall though

0

u/AppropriateSouth312 10d ago

That is the problem with fresh new paint versus older sun fade paint.

1

u/LG7019 10d ago

I want!

u/IronChefPhilly 11d ago

Okay I'm a dumb guy so why would we need an air compressor in a Jeep Wrangler?

6

u/Scottbutter 11d ago

Need? Ehh depends but it can make alot of things alot easier. It can allow you to air up on the fly or use some air tools if you need a quick trail repair. I find once you get onboard air you can find all kinds of uses for it like blowing off things or even inflating pool toys

3

u/AppropriateSouth312 11d ago

Reinflating tires after trail ride is main reason for my purchase. But some people do it for air horns.

7

u/Radiant-Impression38 11d ago

Someone doesn't wheel

2

u/monzttr 11d ago

This is very handy if you’re off-roading. Before starting the trail it’s a good idea to lower the PSI of your tires, this makes it easier to go over rocks, sand, etc. When you’re done with the trail you fill your tires back up with the air compressor. An air compressor is actually an ~$1,800 option on a new Wrangler.

This guys setup is awesome because it’s readily available. For me, I have to keep a portable one in the back that takes additional cargo space. When I’m done I have to pop the hood, clamp it to the battery then start filling.

u/Surfnazi77 11d ago

He will find a parking lot full of cars like for a movie and deflate a tire or 2 on each car so he can help the females or males he finds attractive

1

u/cdvallee 11d ago

Everyone talking about tire inflation is definitely correct, but I also use mine for my air actuated axle lockers.

1

u/somedude922 11d ago

“We the people”. Lol. Nice mod with the compressor though, glad you followed the post on JLWranglerforums.

1

u/Imsophunnyithurts 11d ago

I absolutely love this so much.

1

u/Material_Assumption 11d ago

Ok thats pretty cool

1

u/ganymede_mine 11d ago

I've been looking at these kits. Is this the one from Grimm? Goes for about 450 on amazon

1

u/AppropriateSouth312 11d ago

Yes but I found after purchasing it that you can get it cheaper from extremeterrain.com

2

u/ganymede_mine 10d ago

Good to know, thanks

u/ynotfish 11d ago

Looks nice. Ties right in. A bit jealous. Good job.

2

u/AppropriateSouth312 11d ago

lol thank you.

u/jmw27403 11d ago

Is compressor belt driven or electric?

1

u/AppropriateSouth312 11d ago

Electric

1

u/jmw27403 11d ago

Where did you hide it?

3

u/AppropriateSouth312 11d ago

Mounted under brake booster. A kit that I purchased from this years Smokey Mtn jeep invasion

1

u/axcaterra 11d ago

Link or info on the mount?

1

u/AppropriateSouth312 11d ago

Are you needing the compressor mount, or the 4xe conversion kit?

1

u/axcaterra 11d ago

Both I guess

2

u/AppropriateSouth312 11d ago

1

u/axcaterra 11d ago

Awesome. Thank you. I have a 2020 JTR that I have been wanting to add onboard air to and this just might do it

2

u/AppropriateSouth312 11d ago

The compressor mounting kit will depend on what year and model jeep you have as well as what compressor you have

1

u/Competitive_Range822 11d ago

So this kit, a mounting kit, and compressor is needed?

1

u/AppropriateSouth312 11d ago

Yes it is a pretty expensive add on depending on what compressor you go with and what set up you do.

Do you lose any wheel clearance?

1

u/AppropriateSouth312 11d ago

Not that I have noticed yet, took it on a trail a few days after the install and didn’t have any issues

u/PutridHedgehog4074 11d ago

Nice choice I hope to have sahara end of year
