Airmonger's LX450 Build

A few photos from my most recent trips up to the Umatilla National Forest in SE Washington State. The first photo is from a snow run with the local 4x4 club and the next couple are from a family outing after the first snow storm in Nov.






Not happy about cold hands.

I'm Looking at the for a possible mounting location for the 2 air tanks that I have. I want to mount them behind the spare tire on the passenger side. Directly below where I plan to mount the compressor. I can either do a bracket or just tig the two tanks together and tig some mounting brackets to the sides to it bolt the floor. Also I was planning on running a copper line to connect the two tank. I figured that fatigue wouldn't a problem and that it would out last a hose jumper. Idea? Comments?

I got the switch wired up this afternoon and the relay mounted. Now I just need to get the compressor hooked up and I'll be read to roll.



I followed this to hook up the switch. I even got the dimmer working.

Great work so far! I'm really looking forward to getting down into your areas for some exploration in the next few years.

I got the compressor installed and added some wire split loom to clean up the engine bay. The compressor is wired to a pressure switched so I'm all ready to go when I add an air tank.

your 80's looking great great build, keep it coming.

Those compressors are great I have been running one for about 6 years now its moved from one truck to another and still going strong.

Not too much to report. I gotta new pair of Husky floor liners. The last pair I got where just the rubber mats that that do nothing to keep rocks and dirt off the carpet.

With my young children as traveling partners safety most often takes priority when planning the next mod or addition. I needed a way to secure the fridge and other thing in the back of the rig. I got a set of Mac's Tie downs. The 4 foot versa track with 2 extra tie downs to be exact. Now I have my fridge secure and extra mounting points for the rest of the cargo.



I also added a tactical iphone holder to my Ipad Ram mount.
