Today on Dirt Lifestyle we are going to continue building our onboard air system! Don't get overwhelmed looking at a system like this. If you want to have a fully functional air system on your 4x4 just start from the supply (air compressors) and work your way out. Anyone with a basic understanding of plumbing and electrical can build a system like this.
The benefits to having clean dry air on tap is HUGE and worth all the extra work!
Enjoy the video and stay creative!

I am a 20yr Jeep owner, I've had a highly modified XJ and I have a ZJ build unfinished and unmotivated to even start looking at it again. I have a 2018 JKU that is my DD. I'm stoked to see Toyota stuff on the channel. It's nice to see what options are out there and get information from a true off road enthusiast and fabricator like Nate.

I know you have the footage and would love to see more about the fab of the manifold etc. Just sometimes I wait all week to see the next episode of fab and its done in 15 minutes. Also, I'm abit bummed in the youtube audience that makes it that your Toyota snow videos get so many views (profits) but these highly skilled videos get less. I know its a struggle, keep up the great work bud. Aloha from Hawaii.

Being a plumber also def gives us an advantage. Couple things i did on my diy air system. - 1/4" tubing and metric arb tubing fits inside 3/8" plastic tubing as a protective sleeve - for those looking for air storage tanks on a budget, look up low rider websites - plumbing braided supply lines look cool in exposed locations - i do not like the split wire loom, I chose to use vinyl wire sleeve for wire protection. More expensive but a cleaner look imo - also use the 1/2" vinyl wire sleeve material or shrink wrap on your hose clamps to pretty them up and a barrier on painted surfaces - if using plastic tubing on air lines, black has carbon in it helping make it more sun light resistant. The white will break down even in close direct fluorescent lighting situations Sorry if I rambled on haha

When I built my last shop all of my work benches were built from fire doors, I built the shop for gunsmithing, all of the benches were built so that they were at waist height when standing, or you could pull up a stool and work on something. I put adjustable lights over each work area and a couple of illuminated maginifiers at the stations, we also ran sweated copper air lines, my best friend is a journeyman plumber with quick connect fittings. I plan on using fire doors for my next bench tops, they are great for benches, vise mounting, welding tables, even mounting table top mills and sanders to. Really enjoy your content. Dan.

I already read you're going to pressurize your water tank. I decided to go a different route. 12v rv water pump hooked to a 16 gallon onboard water tank. The pump has a pressure switch so it turns on and off as you open the faucet or open the valve on the hose. Works and is simple.

@kylemohler2782 3 жыл бұрын

You should weld a coupling to the side of you air tank to put your spare pipe plugs in. That way if you brake off a valve you don’t have to go digging through a bag to find it. It’s right there.

For what its worth, I'd do without a petcock for the drain and just use a threaded brass pipe plug with a female hex drive (McMaster-Carr P/N 50785K114 for 3/8" pipe thread)...excellent corrosion resistance, stays flush to your air tank, and no handle to break off. Its described as a high pressure fitting (low pressure fitting not available with the female hex drive). Glad to see your use of push-to-connect tube fittings...beats the hell out of hose clamps.

Me, too, re: the manifold. It just looked like two long holes with taps into the long holes. On the short hole, it looks like it goes all the way through, then he just used threaded brass plugs on each end. since we can see the end of the block, the long hole onle goes at least far enough for the two locker taps, and I imagine another brass plug on the other end.

@_Olivers.Travels 3 жыл бұрын

@dirtlifestyle Nate I love these compressors, and your system setup is great. I do suggest that you look into replacing the supply lines from the compressor with Teflon lines. I’ve been down that road a few times where the heat that the compressor generates WILL cause the rubber hose to weaken and burst. I went from the JIC?? pipe threads to 1/4” NPT, and then connected that to a steel braided Teflon hose. Trust me. I also run 2 of these compressors. Also, if you want to get fancy, throw a normally open solenoid valve on the supply side to vent off the pressure from the supply line side of the compressors. It will keep the reed valves from ever being damaged.

@user-neo71665 3 жыл бұрын

With the extra pressure switch put it in a tee on the end of the tank with the other one. That way its A. handy B. kept where you know it C. can be swapped out in seconds on the trail if you need it. Take it from somebody that used to drive mini trucks on air suspension. The first time that switch goes out you will be glad you can just unplug the the bad one and plug in it in a good one without having to drain the whole system, look for a wrench, and take time to seal and screw in the new one. Something else that is nice is an auto tank drain for the water. Not really needed but just nice so you don't have to crawl under and remember to drain it all the time.

@KingCovfefe 3 жыл бұрын

Awesome build; makes me realize how simple it really would be to add air. Just an idea on the water, since you already have air you could use your air supply to pressurize your water tanks, obviously with regulator and relief valve. The advantage would be less wiring/ electrical things to fail, smooth water flow and maybe lower noise depending on compressor pressure. Maybe I'm just biased from my standing grudge match with my campers crappy water pump.

@TheScoundrel70 3 жыл бұрын

Nate, for the sake of saving some space, had you considered using your air system to pressurize your water tank, rather than add a pump? Like how a SuperSoaker type water gun works. All it would really take to do is run the air line to a pressure regulator, then into the tank. You might even be able to still run air to the second location and still have a water port there too. Just a K.I.S.S. thought since you now have an awesome air system. I guess the only down side would be you would have to take the pressure out of the tank to top it up, but that may not actually be much of an inconvenience, depending on how it's actually used. If the pressure regulator is variable, you would have pressure options from a trickle, to an on-board pressure washer, which I think would make it much more versatile than the limitations in pressure offered by a pump. See what happens when you get me tryin' to do some thinking?? On a side note of questions: You were talking about building a crazy vw TDI at one point, and wanted suggestions as to what to put it in. I think a Pinzgauer would be the ideal ticket. Conversely, I would love to see what you could do with a Mercedes OM606 DOHC 3.0 diesel. Maybe a swap into a Volvo C303/304? There's a guy in the UK that has a shop dedicated to the Mercedes diesel and gets just insane power (pushing 1000hp) out of it with no internal mods...I suspect you already know his KZfaq channel. It actually convinced me to drop the Cummins swap into my M37CDN project and go with the Mighty Merc since it's a few hundred pounds lighter than a 4BT, and much less involved (read costly) to get solid reliable power out of.
