ARB locker install

just thought I'd post a few pics of my completed ARB install.





installed a onboard air system with a wicked little 12v extremeaire compressor. Works awesome







plumbing in all the parts was the toughest part but more of learning of what parts work best and what can be upgraded. ARB compressors are junk so I went with this extremeaire. Made it way harder to source all the misc stuff not having a kit. Works great though

I should mention I scrapped the ARB 5mm blue hose. My air shop couldn't find proper fittings being a metric size. I went with way more common and inexpensive nylon brake hose. Even got a couple splice connections if it were to break on trail. Only a few bucks for fittings compared to $15-20 for ARB repair ones. IMO this is by far the way to go!
