Custom pannel for ARB gauge & Switches (pic)
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

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!

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

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?

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.

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?

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.
