So I managed to get a few minutes of alone time towards the end of the week and today to finish up mounting the air compressor. I ended up going with the proposed location behind the passenger side headlight. I really wanted it under the hood for a combination of reasons and with the exception...

As promised... 20150117-P1010260 by Tim Souza, on Flickr 20150117-P1010261 by Tim Souza, on Flickr 20150117-P1010262 by Tim Souza, on Flickr 20150118-P1010263 by Tim Souza, on Flickr It comes pretty close to the edge the hood, so I'll have to make sure that during flexing it doesn't...

To the top! I began mounting my CB radio and antenna yesterday. On my last truck I had the BAMF tailgate antenna mount. For multiple reasons I decided to go in a different direction this time around and ordered up the Relentless Fab hood hinge mount. I have to hand it to the fellas at...

So far it has all come in pieces except for the butt connectors and ring terminals that I just bought an assortment of. The majority of the stuff has been sourced through West Marine and Amazon. If you want more specifics feel free to PM me. I'd be happy to share.

Thanks for the pictures! Unfortunately I don't think that location will work for me due to the auxiliary fuse block, though that's a damn good way to do it. Have you been pleased with the compressor so far?

And in other news, the flood of electrical related supplies have started to arrive. Got some 2 gage wire for the aux. fuse block, terminals, a lug crimper, a wire terminal crimper, heat shrink, marine butt connectors and ring terminals, cable cutters, etc. Time to wire up the Hella lights and...

So nothing revolutionary here, but I finally got the opportunity to do the differential breather extension. There are plenty of ways to do this, so this is just one. Tools used: 14mm wrench 10mm wrench 10mm ratchet and socket T30 torx wrench 1/8" and 3/8" drill bits 2 smallish hose clamps...

Cool! Can't wait to see more scenery pictures! Truck pictures would be okay too I suppose. ;)

I would definitely be interested in taking a look at some point. I was intending to put the auxiliary fuse block and panel on the fender near there, do you have that same setup?

Nice looking truck! What trails are those Telluride pictures from?

So I'd like to poll the collective Expo knowledge base. I took a look under my hood today trying to find a location for my compressor. I'd like to tuck it up under the hood if possible as that seems like the best location for it. After playing with things a bit I came up with the following place...

Nice dude! You got that done in pretty short order. What's the timeframe for the back end of the truck?

Bought myself a little Christmas present. Got an ARB CKMA-12 air compressor and a fill up kit. Any suggestions as to where to mount it? I've seen some people tuck them in the storage boxes in the bed but I'd prefer to tuck it under the hood for multiple reasons. 20141220-P1010244 by Tim Souza...

Agreed. They look very similar to the ones I pulled out of my 07 that were pre-TSB.

I am most definitely getting my tires siped after the holidays. Although they will never be the worlds best snow tires it can only make them better.

Did you have to add wheel spacers to help clear the upper control arms? The picture makes it look as if the outboard part of the uniball is pretty darn close to the tire.

So I start fabricating the bracket today to hold the circuit breaker and auxiliary fuse panel for the upcoming electrical accessories. I fabricated it from a piece of 1/8" x 12" x 12" 3003-H14 aluminum I ordered off of Amazon. I made the last bracket out of the same material and it proved to be...

Very true. Ignore me and carry on good sir! By the way, sweet video.

If you are pulling the rear diff apart to lock it you might as well do gears at the same time. Save yourself the trouble in the future.

Sheesh, I don't check the site for a few weeks and come back to this. Loving the progress!
