Got to throw on the black grill and light inserts on the sport s today
Is this set of inserts from Amazon? I've seen a few listings on there, but wondered how they look in person. From this picture, they look great. How is the quality and the alignment up close? I'm assuming they just attach with double-sided tape?

Considering doing this or just doing a twin ARB and just going tire to tire.

Is it worth it?
One at a time. Better that way more secure. No issues when you get into more piping and connections. Trust me you have a great compressor in the twin. One is best. Unless your in a race then Id understand. You won’t be sorry. Good job

Well today I got up enough Kaunas and removed back seats also had to remove base speaker panel on right side or I just couldn’t fit ARB drawers.I will install base speaker in another area tomorrow. Installing my ARB drawers from my old 2010 JK Jeep into my new 2018 JL and I have to say the width is smaller in the back so that’s why removal of speaker panel on right side had to be done and the drawers just made it! Wow so lucky! Well I’m lucky cause those things cost 1500 bucks basically! Nothing is permanent till tomorrow, only the Two —2 by 4s. I bolted them in are permanent. I will run plywood on top of drawers tomorrow and extend it to back of front seats. The area over were the back seats were will be for storage and will be able to open the top(plywood) so I can get to area. On top of the ARB drawers on left side half the space will be for fridge and the other half on the right is for a guest sleep area. I will be sleepin* in my Ursa Minor on top. That’s the pop up camper coming next month. So here are some photos of what I did today.

Did you recalibrate your speedometer after adding the tires? If not, then your odometer is off and mpg will be as well.
Yes, speedometer re calibration done at the dealer after I showed them this video.

Installed the dual yesterday and it is AWESOME!!!! However my mount is straight not angled like the one pictured here and has a section on the mount to attach the switch. For those who didnt know it will shut itself off once it reaches 150psi.

This. I would be concerned with all those air lines on that system but time will tell. It certainly looks sweet. I installed the dual ARB in the engine bay and ran one line (this one short line failed the first time out as it got too hot) under the door (by the frame-inbuilt thread) so I can hook up there and not have to lift the hood. I then did the 4 tire hose contraption in youtube. Airing down it is sweet. From unraveling the hose, go from 38 down to 18 and wrap hose back up it is 5 minutes. Airing up I only do 2 tires at a time just to go easy on the ARB.

Awesome buddy ! Maybe I’m getting mine next week. Hey maybe you can pipe it straight out your Jeep. Then use a quick disconnect and your all set. Great job :)

Sweet job I will be doing that next. Also will be running one line for sure with a quick disconnect somewhere out side. Maybe around back bumper somewhere.

let me know if you have any questions installing

DO NOT over tighten the coupler fitting onto the unit!! WILL CRACK THE HOUSING!

And the Universal couple for me works better, much easier to connect/disconnect than the industrial fitting. Good luck lemme know how make out

Sweet advice! Sometimes my Paul Bunyan instincts kick in and tightening up just a little to much. You know I’ll hit you up I need a hand :) Thanks and enjoy. Reason most I’m getting mine is, I’m on the beach weekly 2 nights at a pop. So I’m airing down. Soooo one weekend I was fishing and when I was done and leaving had to air up. As usual I used the parks fill station then that one time I waited 3 hours to use compressor!! Line was back to the beach. Never again. I have one in the other Jeep. It’s a poratable cheaper one. It works but lol when station lines are empty I’ll use theirs if not I know I’m not waiting 3 hours to use theirs lol. Again thanks for Advice. That’s a good one!
