I fabricated this pannel out of a piece of .032 stainless steel then added some stick on carbon fiber to give a factory look. It holds my air pressure gauge for my compressor and my switches. I attached it to the instrument pannel with rivets. what you guys think?

Thanks
Ken

 

Looks great.

 

another pic of pannel out

 

looks great! Where did you get the piece of carbon fiber from? Oh yeah.... maybe this gauge would match a little better....



found here

 

very nice!!!

 

I liked that gauge you mentioned, might have to check it out!

I bought the carbon fiber sticker sheet on ebay for $10, it was a 15"x24" piece, looks great! Very sticky also, has good adhesion. Just type in carbon fiber sticker into the search they should pop up under all kinds of vehicle, but are all the same piece. Seller was highendxenonii

Thanks for the info!

great job, make sure to post pics once you get it installed in your truck. nice clean look.

 

I love those ARB buttons.

In fact, I'm printing this picture out and hanging it in my room (and in my truck).

 

Looking good....

 

Looks Great!

Since I did the 99+ center console swap, I have been thinking of doing the same thing for my ECT and alarm switches.

 

hey slc punk if yod do make 2 and ill buy one from ya. also do you know the part number for the new cup holder surround?

 

That is sweet! That would look real good in your rig.

Thats prettttty sweet

 

Very nice! I especially like the gauge. Having mine inside would just add stress because I almost always have a slow leak in my system (somewhere on the air tank).

So where in St. Paul are you located? I'm in Highland. I haven't seen your rig around town yet . . .

 

Can you make me one?

I currently live in woodbury, I have emailed you a few times about your Viair and ARB locker setup. I am currently setting up my wiring for installing my rear locker, so I can install it in the spring. Do you have any reccomendations for 4x4 shops in the twin cities for doing the locker install? I would do it myself, but I think you need a bearing driver and other special tools right?

I took my front diff to Proven Force and they did a great job. Unless you know how to install gears, I would go that route for sure. They charged me $150 for the install, but I think they generally charge more than that. $200 or less is a good deal if you hand them the 3rd.

Here's their annoying website (beware of popups): http://www.provenforce.com/

What size tank are you installing and where are you putting it?

I'll be heading south on Woodbury Drive on Sunday evening, so keep and eye out.

 

Cool.

I will have to check out provenforce, I am going to install a 2.5 gallon tank either from sun products, or another 2.5g from kilby industries, that ones is only around $55, and it has 5 ports, so it should work out good. Its 6"x24", I am going to mount in along my frame I believe, but haven't confirmed placement yet. Next I have to buy my Viair 450C compressor, I am waiting for a good deal on ebay for that. You still happy with yours?

Ken

 

I'm happy with it. It's a bit slow for airing up tires, but a lot faster than the ARB compressor. A higher output compressor would be nice at times, but the Viar450 fits well in the tight engine compartment.
