Looks good, I am interested in seeing how you handle the snorkel, IF I ever get around to the 5.0, I wanted to add one just for the dusk on the back roads.
I didn't think there would be enough room or the compressor where you put it, should work out.
The idea of on-board air to assist is a good thing, airing down and up, always good to an air supply.
I have switchable mechanical locker in the rear the front is open but the air lockers were one of my choices.
Great project, keep the pictures coming !
Similar reasons, dust more so than water.. however.. lol I have seen my share of 30" of water without a snorkel.
Yea, I was having some doubts myself because I really wanted to mount the compressor sideways or horizontal vs being vertical because I wasn't quite sure where the flexible tubing was coming into play at other than through the inside of the fender and its lining. So if I had to come through the side wall of the inner fender, I wanted to have the room to finagle if you will without losing any real estate for each item. When done, there will be a dedicated line front and back of course so I don't have to pop the hood every time.
Yea the ARB air lockers upfront would do us both a world of good.. ! I also need a welder. Some upcoming projects are going to demand one or my cost factors for boxing in this new(er) frame and adding additional support are going to get costly, and by that I mean by more than just materials and I don't want to just hard face the frame. Just scares me a little because I know welding on the frame does mess with the rust resistance of the frame.
