Rubi Recon

[ExpeditionBuilds]

It really is a nice bracket but I’m noticing the O2 sensor wire is right on the heat shield for the compressor.

That's my reservation about this set-up. The turbo is sitting right next to it.

Keep us updated as you use it. Really appreciate you sharing!

Prepping for EJS/Moab. Added an Element 50 Fire Extinguisher.

...mounted it on the cargo door. We'll see if the one clip mount will be enough for the trails.

I have credit @BadAssBumbleBee for the Element 50 suggestion

No build thread Steven. I did use Brad at trail recon and northridge’s install vids as guides.
I just finished it. So far, looks like it’ll work well. I’m still waiting on the coupling for the air chuck.

I am waiting on some parts to arrive for mine. still deciding on the location, but this looks really good.

It's a great use of that space, but I don't like the proximity to the heat from the turbo. The 3.6 would be a different story.

I'm going to put my compressor in the cargo area. I was checking today and it looks like the ARB twins are in short supply.

I’ll have to report back after Moab next month to see how well it works. I think it’ll be fine with the heat shield. I want to say I’d read somewhere they have cooling capabilities.

I’m looking at the same fire extinguisher as you have.That’s a good spot for it too.
my outback table is still in transit. I think I’ll install the extinguisher in the same spot.

Looking forward to your thoughts. I'm sure it will be fine. The ARB's do have cooling fans...they kick on frequently when the compressor is operating.

The Element 50 packs a big punch in such a small footprint.

You're going to love Moab!

On-Board Air

Still considering which on-board air system to add.

I'm down to these two:
- Up Down Air
- American Adventure Labs

They both have their advantages. Here's a couple of pics of the AAL system utilising the rear cargo floor cubby.

Having an extra battery alongside the ARB to power future accessories would be great.

Got a few more decisions made getting ready for EJS. I'm going to be adding Artec's Full Aluminum Skid System.

Just in time for Moab!

 

[ExpeditionBuilds]

Just in time for Moab!

Yup, just in time. It will be good to have the protection before we hit the trails.

I'm hoping a few other upgrades I have on order make it in on time...we'll see

Prepping for the winch install...

...and this is looking much better...

@expeditionbuilds Thank you for this post and your YT videos.
Could you tell me what low profile bull bar you have or link to the product?
