yep it's a "Industrial" up to 300psi water trap with a site glass. I also will have a safety valve for 175psi and a 1/8" port Schraeder valve for backup. I will be posting more pics soon.

How are those Air Zenith compressors working. Last 2 compressors I had were the Viair 325 x 2 (they both died) and then the Thomas 337 x 2. The Thomas wouldn't heat up as fast, but they also filled a little slower. Boy I miss my old truck...ugh.
I did manage to dig up a picture of it!
That's with the back lifted.

I'm wanting to get a second compressor as a back up ... i'm thinking about getting an AZ one so i have 2 different compressors. It would make me feel better that one might fail because of some reason and the other will keep going etc. I just don't want to be stuck because of a dead comp. ... that would be a lot of down time with the xB and that would suck. Would there be any negatives to having my Viair 450c and an equivalent AZ (probably with twice the CFM)?

Cool man ... i love the slowness. Once i get my front done i'm going to work on getting the system to the right speed and make sure it's even ... i just think having it slow is more "luxury"ish ...
BTW, on break @ work today i was flipping thru an Import Performance mag that was laying in the break room and damn ... guess who's xB was in there . It was coo tellin people that i've talked to u and stuff ... of course they don't believe hardly anything

I have a '99 R/T myself. It is bagged and set up to lay 22s. Unfortunately circumstances have dictated that it sit in a field with an unpainted frame for the last 2+ years.

Sounds cool. I haven't done anything to mine motor wise, as I kept having overheating problems that never got resolved. And probably never will now until I tear the motor down myself. I am on my third rear end and second transmission though. Transmissions tend to crack though when the rear end the dealership rebuilt screws up and causes you to throw a drive shaft on the freeway.
After all that was replaced I got the suspension started. Still not quite finished though. The front has one-off upper and lower control arms and a plated frame with Contitech bags. The rear is a complete one-off subframe wishbone set up with Contitech bags and a fuel cell and battery mount behind the axle. I run two 6 gallons under the bed, 8 ODE 1/2" valves and 3/4" line. No compressors right now, as I was working on an Engine driven compressor but it came up missing at the shop I had the truck in.
Once I get out of my apartment and into a house I will be tearing into it again.

Thanks ^^^
I am posting a couple of more pics of the test fit I did during the install.
I had a delay on the install waiting for a 37 degree stainless steel tube flaring tool to be delivered so that I can do some hard line work, but may have to go with all braided flex to make it for the SE Anniversary show

Toy_xbox,
I have the AZ compressor as well and was wondering how much vibration you get with that mounting bracket.
I have my compressor bolted directly to the sheet metal and it makes my entire car vibrate like crazy. I plan to mount a plate between the compressor and the sheet metal and pad it with some dynamat to cut down on noise and vibration, but I was just curious as to your experiences with noise & vibration with the AZ.
Thanks for your input.
