Let there be light! Love it! For sure you will be seen from miles away no problem.
What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

I believe they are the same. I ordered the first set online and got the others at Home Depot when they started selling them in the store. That's the reason for the slight color differences. Mine do not have a gasket, but they still stay dry, even in the back of a pickup bed during a rain storm.

I just recently bought a pair of Fox factory series 2.5 coilovers with DSC adjusters and plan on buying Camburg upper control arms to go with them...the coilovers are on a 10 week back order though

Waiting on a new cold air intake (CAI). When I bought the truck the previous owner installed a K&N CAI, which is wide open. Instead I am replacing that with an enclosed S&B CAI. I'm supposed to get it today, but doesn't look like it.

Just picked up my ZF5 5 speed transmission, pedals, and Clutch master cylinder. Next up is getting the flywheel, clutch, starter, and drive shafts. Got shop space opening up in a couple of weeks, so I’ll hopefully have it in by “Field Day”.
I also have a 95 amp alternator and a power steering pump upgrade to install over the next week or so.

All weather floor liner for the trunk and I plan to do a lift next! Thinking teraflex 3 inch lift!

Last thing I bought was a duel ARB compressor. Mounted it under the passenger seat.
Next item I'd like to get is some under belly skid plates.

I bought the same ARB compressor some time ago but havent fitted it yet. I cant find anywhere obvious to fit it but i might be able to make space under the drivers seat.
I have a question. Do you have "remote" hose connection points or will you connect your air hose directly to the compressor each time?
Enthusiast I
At this time, I am connecting at the compressor. Future plans are to have remote connections at each corner with hoses for each corner.

Id be interested to see how it goes. I was thinking about fitting 1 external remote connection. My concern is does the compressor need much space around it to "breathe"?
Enthusiast I
I have my compressor mounted under the passenger seat, it is a tight fit, but I have read and seen video's stating that it wouldn't get too hot in that closed space. As far as breathing, it shouldn't be a problem as the end take is on the end of the compressor. My intakes are facing toward the door. So with the door open it should get plenty of air.

I have a Defender so under the seat means being enclosed in a box. I have to remove the seat base, revealing a sheet od metal which slides out to allow access beneath. I considered fitting a vent in the side of the seat box but wasnt sure whether it would be sufficient. Ive added a web photo of what the seat box arrangement looks like.
Member III
I would definitely consider a vent port. Hell I'd probably do a vent port and a 12v fan because anything worth doing is worth overdoing.
Compressors need a fresh source of air to cool and running them in an enclosed space is a great way to reduce life and runtime.

Last thing I bought was the Tuff Stuff truck bed rack. Which is now installed. Next thing on the list will be the tent to go on top of the rack. At least that is the plan! The list is very long though!!
