    Operation Airtank relocation.. Sort of.

    So I have been running a Toys By Troy tube bumper for the past 7 years on my little Barbie Jeep with the airtank on the bumper. The intention was to eventually get a winch.


    Step 1) Remove the airtank.
    Step 2) Neatly route air line and train horn line to new tank location. (Still need to finish up airtank and horn wiring).
    Step 3) Some how it became a complete recovery make over to include an ORO dual rate manual sway loc.
    Step 4) As if the above steps were not enough, a factory hardtop and wiring kit install.

    16 years and 3 Jeeps later.... Ta-daaaaaaw. Finally a winch! Almost forgot to mention the great looking Savvy bumper and a big thanks to Gerald for the super deal from the Expo.






    Think the Jeep is almost ready for a relocation to the Northeast...

    I will post some pics once the airtank is in place.

        Finally got around to finishing up. New straight fitting for air line heading into firewall.




        Air tank in place ready for action.


        Air line leading out to train horns.


        Main air line coming into Jeep is run up under the lip of the tub, keeping nearly invisible. Make every effort not to butcher the Jeep when doing upgrades or mods. Utilized existing holes then retaped every thing back up with the material style tape. Once I reach my final destination I will get the bottle opener remounted.
