I'm in the process of putting oba in my 4runner and was wanting to see how you guys have yours set up; i.e. gauge in cab, gauge on tank, tank placement, etc I'm thinking of putting my tank where the spare tire used to be under the bed

 

Yes....you can search, I have a useful thread somewhere. Works pretty good.

 

found your thread https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f88/...r-tank-239306/

 

bigblue i see blue digi camo in your trunk you navy also? How long is your tank? my tank is 37 inches but it doesnt seem to fit between the frame rails

 

Yup. NAVY blue 15.5 years worth lol

The tank I have I actually had cut open so I could clean and then TIG welder back together. It just barely fits between the frame rails. Actually fits cleaner since it was cut down. Took roughly an inch out. I have two other tanks too which I'll be mounting and will give me like 7 gallons total I think....pretty sure all that is in the build thread, been a while since I went through it

 

I'm a CM(construction mechanic) [Seabee] been in 8yrs.

 

Nice! That sounds interesting, how you like it?

 

love it, i love being a mechanic just reupped for 6 more years

 

Good to hear, thanks for your continued service!

OBA installed yet?

 

almost gotta do some painting, and need to acquire fittings

 

 

damn the tank is a little bit to long to mount where the spare carrier cross member . Now I'm stumped I can either try and find a new tank or wait til i put the header and shorter exhaust on and mount it long ways from the tire carrier and to where the stock muffler hung

 

Cut an inch out of it....?

 

dont think i can the tank is made weird. Instead of being a cylinder with 2 end caps, its a flat piece of metal rolled into a cylinder so it has a weld down the center. I guess I could cut and reweld the end cap on but i really dont want to do it, I think im a horrible welder. I'll weld on anything green that says US navy on it, but I dont want weld on anything thatss gonna be on my own vehicle lol.

 

That's funny, 'cause I had Navy welders cut and TIG mine back together

You could also see locally how much to have it welded. I only charge my tank to ~125 psi anyways....

 

So I decide to go with an electric compressor since it gets really hot down here in Mississippi, but I can't figure out where to put the compressor I really want to put it in the engine bay but very limited on room. Any ideas?

 

I plan on doing OBA as well but i plan on using the a/c compressor rather than electric.
