    looking for some ideas....

    the way my cage and seats will probably end up mounting I will loose easy access to my under seat toolbox.

    At first I was thinking the ARB compressor.. The thought of heat buildup, even without the lid came up.. 
    Its also welded very well.. if I ever submerged it would easily fill with water..

    Here is a picture the way it sits now...

    any ideas on how to use this otherwise wasted space?

    I wouldn't think you'd want a noisy compressor right under you...

    You'll probably want to put a drain hole in it anyway, though.

    thought of a piggy bank did cross my mind, but the coins would make more noise than the compressor ever would..
    Im not running an air tank, jut the comp hooked to the 2 lockers...

    Drain hole and remote filter maybe ?!?!?!
    found this image on the testing of my compressor..

    I should be able to treat it like an electric fan.... killing the power if I drown...

    If you are going to put it there, use the extra space for a small air tank?

    Got the heater unit mounted..
    AC and Coolant lines plumbed to bulkhead
    need to wire AC/Heat on a separate circuit, thus another custom harness..
    for a "painless" system I have been doing a lot of additional harnesses....

    Head some issues with the speedo cluster.. should have those remedied shortly..  Issue with self grounding cluster lamps and too much aftermarket plastic...







    Hood painted and on truck
    hinges needed some reaming to remove the galvy and I press fit the 2 part hinges with moly engine lube..
    yes, the hood wont be pull-off-able.. but it will be secure and hinge-able..
    Aqualu provided shims to compensate for radius curve of cowl.. ordered hood rubbers and cowl/hood seal from a YJ before final adjustments are made.. (trimming shims and final placement of hood)
