I think I flicked them on and off throughout. But for the most part on.

Does anyone know a lot about oba compressors and tanks and lines and such? I picked up a 5 gal tank and 2 480c compressors and need to know what other fittings lines and sizes I need to go about getting?

Got warm yesterday so I was able to do a little work on the truck...

Installed the passenger side swing case that I got for Christmas.

I happily now have nothing in the cab but my tool box/machete/and shovel which are going to be mounted under seat.

Still have plenty of room in the bed fir stuffing that I need to do

How much do those boxes hold? Can you put a gallon of oil in one?

I'm not sure about a gallon, it's pretty spacious, so depending on how it's shaped maybe.... But you could put 2 or 3 quarts in there. I have 20ft of chain, a 30ft ****** strap 4 shackles and a pintle hook in one. So there is a lot of space.

Updates look good. I like the swing case in there but are they removable? For when hauling dirt, lumber or dump runs.

Yup. They remove from the mounting bracket giving you your entire bed back. Depending on the bed liner you have or cover or whatever you'll have to cut it to fit the brackets and allow the case to swing closed. I'll post pictures today.

Justin, I'm not too familiar with how the compressors work but why did you pick up two of them instead of one?

It was the kit that I saw and bought, it came with two compressors and the 5 gallon tank. the dual compressors will air up much faster. According to the specs, it will go 0-200psi in under 4 minutes. so it's just more convenient, for when i need air, i have it.

This is what's left after you remove the swingcase. Technically I have more room because I removed at lot of the bedliner

I'm gong to have to say no. It would fit a breaker bar and the correct sockets. But I think a 4 way would be to large overall
