Awesome stuff! Do you think it's possible to have multiple outlets so all your mates can plug into your hot dog at once? 😅

[@JCYT]

Hahaha plenty of hot dog to share with the boys!

[@Marcuss___]

Clean install mate keen to see what else is happening with the 79 becoming a neat build!

[@JCYT]

Cheers bloke! Hopefully it wins you over

@@JCYT if it was a 76 or a n80 it already would have time will tell though

Absolute legend johnathan so much knowledge and so tidy with everything you do mate. Would love to see more detail of you running your wires under the ute for the canopy 12v build 👍👍 absolute brilliant

[@JCYT]

Appreciate the kind words! I'll do my best to include it in that video as it's currently a work in progress. Thanks

I see Jonathan Jr. grabbed the brake line cutting tool @3.29 ready to help out with the install.

Hahaha getting ready to burn daddys bum with the soldering iron!

Thanks Jono Love RE watching your vids! Reminds me to drain any condensation out of my tank too

[@JCYT]

Thanks for watching! And thanks for the reminder too to drain the tank.... haha

[@ilove2explore]

Very neat install Jonathon, only suggestion I have is to add on the Arb air pressure control module. You control it on your phone via an app, you can have preset pressures eg road, sand etc. I get out of the car, plug on the hose and turn on the compressor, choose the preset and connect the hose to the wheel. It inflates or deflates to the set pressure automatically and I believe it deflates the 4 tyres in a faster total elapsed time vs the dedicated deflator as your not wasting time screwing the deflator on, removing the valve and then in reverse afterwards. I don’t even bring my deflator and inflator chuck any more.

[@JCYT]

Hi mate thanks for letting me know! I'll have a look into it. Sometimes i do run my pressures different front and rear so it may not be suitable.

[@ilove2explore]

@@JCYT I run different pressures front and back. When it starts to do the first rear tyre I up the target pressure by a couple of psi, it’s very flexible

[@johnnytrannnn]

Nice mate. Will be following this video to do mine too

شكرا على المجهود وعلى الشرح

[@MrCrashnburn80]

This video was great. I just bought my new canopy/tray and wanting to do this. Thanks a lot. Instructions were excellent.

[@JCYT]

You're welcome mate hope it works out! I ended up getting rid of the circuit breaker and installed a MIDI fuse in its place The circuit breaker kept tripping on hot days (it was a low quality eBay spec one though). It's been otherwise perfect with the midi fuse.

[@cgrschannel7256]

Awesome and clean work as always ☝️

[@JCYT]

Thanks CGR !

[@TheDillon1987]

Some great content.. keep it up, following with interest on how this build comes together

[@JCYT]

Cheers mate hope you enjoy the journey!

[@anbu999]

jack the side of the car a little bit, the compressor doesn't have to fight the vehicle weight and pressure inside the tyre at the same time.

[@dustyfarmer]

You could spray the front of it with WD40 too so it slips through the air better.

[@ThoMas-rx9gc]

Hey mate, nice neat work. I just wonder how does you compressor air inlet gets fresh air from a sealed box ? Also is it keeping cool in a tight space ? Cheers mate

[@JCYT]

Hi mate I leave the lid open to access the switch and outlet hose so that's not a problem. Arb Compressors can have their breather relocated so that is definitely an option. I would not recommend running a compressor of this output in any enclosed space even mounted inside a vehicle or camppy. Heat is no problem with the lid open during operation. I've been using it on 40 plus days. It's actually a really cool part of the car. Hope that helps!

[@balinhampton9911]

love your work mate

Neatly done mate, awesome work👍🏾... Hey man one thing that captured my attention was your side step. Could you care to explain, please tell me about it.. Do a video about your side steps....Dang my first time to see something like that..😀

[@jamesross8802]

How did you get power to the switch? I've pretty much done the same thing just stuck on running red yellow switch wire to power

[@JCYT]

Hey mate As it came straight from the portable box, it was prewired and bolted straight in with two cables going direct to battery. If you've bought the compressor separate, you'll need a relay to control the compressor via a switch. Hope that makes sense

[@grpaxto]

Nice job 👍👍

[@JCYT]

Thanks mate!

[@Christophpugh]

I'm about to do the same install expect with the provided ARB tank. Why did you run an additional relay? My understanding is there already is one? Was the circuit breaker required? I know little about 12v.

[@JCYT]

Hi mate! There was no additional relay used. The ARB switch/relay is a 2 in 1 so the switching circuit I have left completely as designed by ARB. You will need to run an additional circuit breaker to protect your new cable against short circuits which is a possibility in the event you're in a car accident. The two small 40A maxi fuses are to protect the 2 x arb compressors (on the twin compressor).

[@benjaminhewlett5312]

Hey mate just wondering how you wired the switch? Also the supply from your compressor is that coming from a main battery or Aux? Cheers

[@JCYT]

Hey mate The switch comes prewired out of the box from ARB and the only wiring I really needed to do was to supply power from the main battery. Best way to do it - I would avoid wiring direct to aux battery unless the battery bank is huge! It's just a relay switch, wouldn't be hard to do with any standalone compressor.

[@eg8160]

why is the air tank important, why not using the compressor directly?

[@JCYT]

The air tank just stores compressed air in a tank so it's ready to go. Whether it is for pumping up tyres, compressed air gun or other air accessories - it gives a buffer and temporary store of high pressure air

[@eg8160]

@@JCYT but it should be still possible to just plug the air hose directly into the compressor and use it like its from the tank, i don’t see why would you wanna store compressed air and get the compressor to refill it every time it gets under a certain pressure point while you can only start it when needed. Am i right?. Let me know

Hey mate the alloy pipe was existing from the norweld tray however entire filler neck could be substituted by 2 90 deg hoses (1 of them will need to be a long leg hose) + 1m 50mm OD alloy pipe depending where your filler is. Thanks for watching!

Never mount a cable gland on top of your box

[@andrewblack1575]

It cannot seal on an uneven/non circular wiring loom

[@JCYT]

hey mate, sorry i missed this. Yes you can still seal it but shrinking an adhesive lined heat shrink on top of both gland and conduit.
