2005 Sport V8 build Thread. Slow But Steady.

having an issue installing the compressor, i got it in but the air chuck sat kind of high, i moved the chuck off to the drivers side some more but still hits the hood, i saw a picture of someone having the SLEE offroad bracket like mine and had no issue, I ended up ordering the ARB manifold and an elbow so that way i can move the chuck in the little area in the picture.
anyone else have this issue?

Got a good deal on a switch pros when i went to the offroad expo so i decided to hook it up, i had no idea on where to put the panel but i happen to see where i think invader put his and thought that would be great, i ordered up a Limited center console with the extra heated switch holes and just moved the DAC so i can put the panel in the middle, still need some double sided tape but ill do that tomorrow.
I believe there is enough room behind the air box and it could balance it out, but I don’t have the resources to make a bracket so I bought the one from Slee which works pretty well, a little high in my opinion but allowed me to run less wire and everything is close by, I didn’t want to carry around a portable since my back will have drawers for other items.

Nice build!!!
Pretty easy, once you figure out what wires go where, you just splice or t tap into them and it’s plug n play!
Thanks man!

I have the single compressor and was going to buy the Slee mount. Did you ever get the issue with the hood hitting it figured out?
i thought i did with the elbows to move the air chuck around, but still not enough room, it has a bracket to mount the ARB manifold in the back, but the parts of the master cylinder are in the way and no room for the chuck.
what I'm going to try and get done monday is get a plate welded to the left(passenger) side of the bracket, there is a little lip from the bracket that comes up like a 1/4 inch, I'm going to sand it and try and get a plate welded to that so i can mount the manifold in that area, the lines are long enough and should connect no problem. ill try and get pictures if i can get to my friends shop on Monday.

Impressive work. Love the grill. Overall a great 4th gen.
got the manifold bracket made and its on now, my friend said he over-engineered it but he didn't want to mess up the nice Slee Bracket lol
it utilizes the same bolts holes the bracket uses to hold the Compressor down and then wraps under the piece that sticks out to the left of the Slee bracket and then has the new plate with tapped holes for the manifold to screw into

I have that same Milwaukee ratchet - cant believe how useful its been in the couple of years Ive had. I absolutely love the locking feature.
