[QUOTE="RangerRick, post: 447978, member: 18868"] And yes [USER=18221]@BLACKJKU[/USER] there were a few companies around that you could get York compressor kits from. Kilby Enterprises was one of the players back in the early mid 2000's that had kits for different applications and I bought some parts from him to do my OBA kit at one of the off-road shows. Other niceties' are on board welders such as Premier Power that I consider important if going into the hinterlands far from civilization. Since selling the JKUR a year ago, I have decided to adapt the York 210 OBA I took off of my TJ rock crawler when I sold it and adapt it to my CJ Cummins 4BT diesel engine. OBA is best of all if you can afford it with a hand throttle RPM control FWIW. There's nothing like the performance of a shop compressor under the hood if you need to weld, grind or seat beads on large tires. Also great for airing up water toys at the lake or river and large double height air mattresses when out camping. However, not everyone needs shop air performance so the common brands mentioned above are still pretty good options for air. I had a friend who had a Viair that was mounted in an aluminum briefcase looking box. He used it for years in the 1990's before he decided to permanently mount it on his fender under the hood. It was nice because you could move the portable unit between vehicles if the Jeep was left at home and you took say for example, the grocery getter Cherokee etc... It is always good to have a receiver dryer on your air system even if it is electric driven to prevent filling your rims with moist wet air that will corrode and rust rims etc. Over time if you air up and deflate your tires enough, a surprisingly large amount of moisture can get trapped in your tires if this isn't addressed. OBA is still relevant today to anyone who goes camping or off-road much as ever before. RR [/QUOTE]
