Off Road Only JK AiROCK

Modifications

Now since I wasn't satisfied with a few parts I decided to make a few modifications to the Off Road Only System. These are all benign and just make a better system in my opinion.

Additional Parts:
Dakota Digital Air Gauge
Teflon Tape
3/8' 90 Degree swivel elbows
PN: 51495K225
3/8" straight instant fittings (2)
Universal air disconnects (2)
3/8" T instant fitting

Tools Needed:
Drill

 

Dakota Digital Air Pressure Gauge

I wanted to be able to read the air pressure that I had in the system. I looked at a lot of gauges and decided that I wanted to go a little high tech. Dakota Digital fit the bill with their air pressure gauge. After looking at the expense of this and realizing I could just put a mechanical gauge in for $20, vice the $150-$200 price tag.

     
 

Air Tank

I decided that I didn't like using adaptor bushings and the 1/4" NPT fittings and since I had the tank down to fix some air leaks I went ahead and replaced them. I ordered a set of 3/8" NPT fittings from McMaster-Carr and replaced the fittings. The parts are Nickel-Plated Brass Instant Tube Fittings. The 90 degree swivel elbows are part #: 51495K225

 
Front and Rear Air hose connections
Since I had some left over parts from previous installs / projects I decided to make my own air hose fitting for the front and rear. I used two universal air hose quick disconnects that I had from my garage air compressor project, some 3/8" air brake line from NAPA, two 3/8" straight instant connect fittings, and one 3/8" T instant fitting.. If you don't have stuff laying around picking up the kit from Off Road Only is a good deal. It will save you some hunting around for parts. I have run into problems on the trail with using other peoples lines and after hurricane Ivan hit here I was using the Compressor on my old Jeep for a lot of things and having the universals allowed me to go from boat to shop to car to fire station to military vehicle easily.

Common Sense and Safety should always be observed when working on your vehicle or doing modifications. Jackstands, wheel blocks, disconnecting the battery are a few of the basic safety precautions that should be used and may not be mentioned in the write ups on this site. You are responsible for your own installation, these write ups are a helpful guideline and should not be taken as an official installation instruction. My write up may be different from the kits currently out there, so alwasy double check the manufacturers installation instructions when installing anything. I try to keep the site up to date with changes that have occured as I discover them, but may not have the latest unless someone lets me know. If you feel that an install is above your capabilities after reading my write ups, I recommend getting together with a club and getting some help. Only a few times have I needed to employe some actual help from a shop to get something done. Usually welding or A/C work. While I have spent many years working on mechanical systems, I am not an expert, nor do I pretend to be one. I hope these write ups have been useful to you.
