Guest, UPDATE We went through the site migration runbook and completed all steps. We will need to complete the migration next week, but will leave the forums up for the weekend. A few days after maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

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.

finally pulled 4.90 gears for the Montero in mid March. Only to be sacked due to the pandemic. so no future buys, right now. but I do need manual locking hubs to finish up my regearing.

A little battery insurance. As it gets warmer the fridges work harder!

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.

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.

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.
