My life with a Brick

Caught the Bug
Here is a pick of my Arb twin setup under seat. I believe I used a 90degree fitting from the compressor and a 18" braided air hose to get me to the mounting location
It is a tight squeeze even with that 90degree adapter

Hey Brick,

I am pretty much going to have the same set up as you. Are you using a 2" spacer in the rear like Kyle with your #59 coils?

Hey! Thank you looks good. I thought I would just put an outlet there like you did too. Thank you

For running the wire to compressor, besides removing the battery tray which is a total pain in the ass ( putting it back is even wore lol)
Is poking through the grommet and running the connectors through. Like I said before I managed to do this without splicing those compressor power and ground wires.

I am doing my 'genesis off-road' dual battery setup. I was OCD-ing about not sealing that grommet back up after cutting a big slit in it to run those compressor wires. I don't want any water in there. So I sealed it with some rtv silicone after running the wire for g screen.

The best thing about this battery Tray is that it still allows access to that grommet. So I can poke right though if I want to run something else through there. Without removing the tray again yay!! Lol

I started with a 1/2" spacer and it measured level but looked low so I put a 1" in now but I don't have wheels and tires so not sure how it looks yet

Is there just the one big wire for the whole job?

Two positive with decent size connectors and one negative, all that has to go through that grommet and connected to the battery. Took me a lot of cussing getting those through that grommet.

The slabs arrived!
What does anybody think of shiny rings? I have 1 no vote so far. I don't think the body color would look good, maybe raw aluminum and not polished? Like the old brushed centerline wheels
Should I replace the valve stems since they are used?

Valve stems are cheap so I'd definitely do those for piece of mind. Personally I like the polished idea. That way you can put your own battle scars on them. :D

New valve stems for sure. I like the basic aluminum rings, I don't think they come off as blingy at all. Plus the scratches (when you get them) aren't as noticeable until you're up close.

I just installed mine and I don't like the shiny ring. I'm going to plastidip the ring black.

New valve stems is easy to do. I had to and discount tire gave me the stems free since I don't want TPMS

I love the color of your jeep and agree with a black ring with that color. Plasti dip is a good idea so you can touch it up
