9 CFM at 100 PSI. It also weighs 45 pounds and pulls 180 amps at full tilt boogie 200 PSI. I keep the pressure switch at about 110 on, 140 off.

Forgot to post up some finished results of my power console addition.

12v dedicated to the ARB fridge on the left. 2 120V outlets powered by a small 200 watt inverter in the stock location. 1 USB powered plug, also powered by the inverter, and a 12v Blue Seas plug on the far right. Blue light up top controls the inverter.. just the inverter, the 12v outlets are constant from the 2nd battery in the bed.

Skipped installing one of the circuit breakers up here.. right now I'm using the Blue Seas fuse block in the battery box.

Thanks man. I built a little panel that sits above the e-brake cables under the console to hold the power and ground distro blocks. Used some liquid electrical tape to cover every thing up and then added a cover to it. Doubtful something will come in contact with anything but wanted to be sure. Used some 2 pin quick connects for the 12v outlets to allow me to remove them and built some extension cord style connectors for the outlets, I can swap out the inverter for a larger one by simply unplugging them and swapping in the new one if I want. But I think 200 watts should be plenty for inside the cab.

Good stuff and no cuircut breaker better anyway since you'd have to fuse the line back at the battery or close by anyway. Looks good.

Decided to tackle swapping out the Oasis OBA. What a PITA! Got the old one out, only took about 2 hours. Now to swap brackets and start dropping the new one in. Wouldn't be such a bitch I the thing didn't weigh 50 lbs and it wasnt 95 degrees out.

Just go to a bone yard and add another York to your collection. One with a clutch. Then swap out the pulley for a serp' belt and have that bitch run off the engine!!! :) Should only take another 2 hours. :)

I tell ya... I'm about ready to just throw in an ARB dual head unit.

But it's in the hole now. Now to wire it up, plumb it and then reinstall all the other crap around it. I can't find my Teflon tape so that might be my "out" for the evening. :).

Well I got it in.. and about 20% of everything else back in. Still have a few hours work left.. it works! I'm going to look into moving this to the trail rig though and mounting the ARB on the Taco. I really don't need a 9 CFM @ 100 PSI compressor on this thing. Not to mention the extra 50 pounds I could hang on the rear of the trail rig down low would be nice. But I had to get it running before the weekend.. the trail rig is in storage and one thing I noticed was the rear drivers side tire was VERY low! No way to inflate it at a remote location (well I could carry my Bostich nail gun compressor over and run it off the inverter but I figure this is a good excuse to get my ass in gear). Anyhow, now I have a functional front locker on the Taco as well. Always a plus in my book... or is it Kindle these days?
