York ??'s

[TJSUPE]

Well, I have the York mounted, and I am piecing the rest of the system in tonight. Hopefully it works the way it should the first time.

Thanks for everyones help! I will post some pics too. Fun and challenging first project; thats for sure!

Hey did you finish the complete OBA set up?

[TJSUPE]

I did get it in working order; but, there are a lot of little modifications that need to be done. am slowly fixing it up week by week. Love it so far!

Just to add some fuel to the fire, I have been using my Co2 setup I custom made for under 150 dollars, and it works great, but I have filled it twice for about 20 dollars a fill (15lb Tank) Im starting to think this would be alot more cost effective than I thought VS Co2. That or I need to charge all my wheeling bodies with no OBA.

That is one of the reasons I went with the York. I didnt like the fact that I would have to re-fill all the time. In the future I will probably carry another form of OBA as Back up, especially when I get my ARB's. I would either carry a tank, or hook up an electric compressor.

i use the york for everything, but have a viair 400 wired up under the hood for back up.
if the york craps out... i can quickly switch to the viair, and keep my lockers working.

So I got all my settings set and fittings tight. The york is working great. Pumping a lot of air. I love it. It was definatly a tougher install than I thought it was going be. I went to the parts store many times. All in all it was a huge learning process. Its a great first mod to do. I learned a lot about my jeep and obviously about the york.

The toughest part for me was setting up the pressure switch. The wiring was difficult for me to understand, but i ended up getting it solved. I ended up putting an air chuck out of my front bumper. I also first tried using the original flanges that came with the york. I finally bought new ones from Kilby, made my life a lot easier. Kilby was super quick by the way. I kept ordering parts on different occasions, Every time I got them the next day and the parts were right on.

I plan on re-routing some of the hoses and cleaning up the overall install. I do not have any fabricating experience so zip-ties were my best friend. I will post some pics here soon once my camera feels like working. Its your basic york set up.

Glad you got it figured out. Good call on the Kilby fittings - best $25 I spent on my setup. That's the one thing he sells that is not easily replaced by piecing together other stuff. Like you say, if you are in a hurry they are quick as well. I put my whole setup together last minute the weekend before we did the Rubicon last year, including fabbing my own bracket for the York. I ordered everything from Kilby, it showed up a couple days later and I went to work.

I think thats a bit expensive for a used york.
You cold probably find a cheaper one if you wait a bit. OR, if there are any junk yards in your area, go there. I found mine out of an early 80's volvo. Got it for 40 bucks. I was lucky becuase it was the only vovlo there with a york still in it.

Another advantage of a junk yard is that you can see if it works before buying it.

How many fittings left over?

pick-your-own-part junkyards would probably be your best bet i scored 2 yorks for $25 each and 2 volkswagon ac compressors for $15 each! long story why i wanted those! e-bay is sometimes full of overpriced crap (except stuff I sell, of course!)

quite a few!!

Oh well, I have spares now
