locker air lines installation

Post by stu »

im gonna pick up a locker for the rear of the TJ soon, since i'm a tight a$$ when it comes to the money i'm gonna do as mush as i can before i get the professionals do their part.

whilst i have no intention of accually installing the locker itself i do intend on ruinning the air lines and power line this weekend.

when running the air lines should i be aware of anything apart from try not to pinch them, cut them or have them rub up against anything .

you have pretty much covered everything the only thing i can think of it be careful of the exhaust dont run it to close... wouldnt hurt to run it in some split tubing to give some extra protection

Also leave enough slack in the line to allow for diff travel

If you can cable tie it to the brake line or handbrake cable that will be o.k


Hope this helps :) :) :)

The advantage of a Locker in an IFS diff - the diff doesn't move, so it's easier to run the tubing. :armsup:

There had to be some advantage to IFS... :oops:

Yeah pretty much everything covered here.

Where are you installing your compressor? Engine bay or under passenger seat?

Cable tie lines along the inside of the chassis rail, then down the upper control arm and into the diff. If you do them along the arms, and leave a little slack, then they will move with the arms and not get tangled up on anything. Doesn't hurt to run a conduit around the air line to protect it, but I haven't done that on mine (lazy factor)

The line installation isn't what will cost you money on the install. It's the shimming to get the pinion depth and backlash right. That's the time consuming part.

My air lines run inside the chassy rail and out near the front control arm, where it is cable tied along the arm leading to the diff.

I have split tubing for full length of the air line.

This is on a SWB GQ.

im getting it done at a diff place in kedron. their installing 4.56 gear ratios, from on a D30 carrier and the rear on the ARB.

my main concern is that i have wired every thing up myself and i know its a ass to undo everything secondly i have mounted the compressor in the cab in a left over spot betreen the body and a storage box. its a bit hard to get too.

two good reasons to do the wireing myself.
