Very nice! How bad was the install?

Based on the pics of that rear end...I'd say a suspension upgrade is greatly needed! Then you can really put that ARB to work!

The install wasn't that bad, just pulled the third out on friday (45 minutes) and took it down to hudlows axle to get set up. On Friday wired up the compressor and ran the air hose, and changed my oil. Saturday ran down picked up the third, cleaned up some stuff, and put her in. The hardest part was connecting the air hose to the diff, we had to run to ace to get the right parts then they were really tight and took some work to get them on.

Then on the lift it wouldn't lock up, and we were so pissed. But we took her down and i reversed out and tried it and it locks all the time now.

Suspension is next on the list of major mods. Going with Toytec adjustable up front, and some OME springs and some bilstein 5125 or 5150 shocks, and some tweaking.

Yep it is, and we covered the air line with fuel line hose for added protection.

I dont know what it is, but, I have a big bundle of electronics and what look like brake lines going to where you mounted that compressor. I just bought an MV-1050 and would like to mount it in the engine bay, but, there is no room that I can see.

You're lucky! I'm going to have to do some major re-arranging in there to fit a compressor. Looks like i'll have to take off the damn fender to get a nut on my bolts... Grr..

I also have the mv1050, or equivalent. Someday I will mount it in the cargo area, but just portable for now. The fender isn't hard to undo, you can switch the bolts around and it should be alot easier, you can just stick your hand up the fender to get to it, or at least unbolt a couple of the bolts and tilt it to get to the bolt. We had to half way unbolt the fender to get the snorkel on.

So just curious is the ARB compressor belt driven or electrical? does it come with /need a tank? looks like a really clean install...

The arb compressor is electrical, and it has its own little air tank. The mini compressor, which is what i am using is pretty much only good for lockers. I highly suggest using one of the arb compressors for powering an arb locker. The wiring harness that comes with it is excellent, it comes with everything (wiring) to run front and rear lockers.
