Got air.
I got the OBA system almost 100% done
I made the flanges on top of the york, and then tapped them to 3/8npt. I have always set them up with a small pressure guage, just in case there is a problem with the system, makes for diagnosing it a little easier.
Here is the little tank I made. Its just big enough to get 3-4 engagements of the ARB before the york will kick on. The system is controlled by an ARB pressure sensor, and I built it for a second ARB soloniod for down the road. I will have to get down to ARB to get a new pressure switch since the one on the tank is my trail spare.
Here is where I decided to put the air fitting. One thing experiance has taught me, its more convienent to have it either in the front or the rear, and the front was easier to install (rear apps I do when a tank is near the rear). On my rig, its in the middle of the rig, but will be moving it to the front when it gets redone..

I have never seen a Jeep worth like $100,000. That is one sweet Jeep. You can Build Jeeps better than the factory and their are like a factory.
It is sure sweet.

another bump!
Well, it was time to start adding more fluids of life to the beast, well, one thing that was in the back of my head, and never really saw, WHERE in the heck do I put fluid into the 203 doubler? On the last one I used on a monster 4 runner I did, it was on the inspection plate, but as you can see, there aint no fill hole
And after close inspection, there was no other place to fill it. SO I called Offroad Design out of colorado and talked to a very helpful guy, and got the specs for the fill hole in the inspection cover(they produce new covers with the bung built into the cover). So off the cover came, made a threaded bung(3/8 npt) and cut/welded it onto the inspection cover, and filled it up.
Another issue I knew I would have to tackle, was when the 205 was shipped to me, it had 1310 yokes on it(they removed them before shipment) and shipped 1350 yokes, but one little problem, where the yoke rides on the seal on the t-case, the yoke was too dnag big(even with a hammer it would have never gone it, DOH).
So, after a little bit of research, I found the correct aplication, and got the correct seals, so now the front output is on and done

A few odds/ends
Finally got the lokar dipstick mounted to the firewall, believe it or not, due to how the firewall is made, it was a little trickly locating a good place to mount it
Also made a trip down to ARB in seattle and got a few goodies, so the ari sysytem now has a brand new(new style) compressor controlling switch, and a new arb soloniod( The arb comes with a soloniod, so jeff will have a trail spare).

Lokar shifter WOW
I finally got it, and WOW, this is one fine unit.....
But the directions for all the little pieces kinda sucked...
So, it took a little brain power(had to borrow some,lol) and I was off and rolling. Here was the only downfall to the unit that I could find, it has only one switch on it, and its a neutral safety switch, so, what do you do for backup lamps? Well, I had decided, that back up lamps were more important, so I modified it so that the switch will work for that. It was a little tricky getting the shift gates on the to match the one in the trans, and get the shifter in just the right spot so jeff will be able to be comphy when using it, and I think it all worked out nicely
Now, its time to figure out the t-case/doubler shifters, this is going to be a littel tricky...

Did the ring and pinion get to you w/ the install kit? Was everything there?
Got to get up there soon......

Well, got the wifes new 4 runner all done, so back to the beast I go, and hopefully in a few days I will have pics of the completed shifters. Its been kinda slow, since I had to duplicate some bushing material for the shifters what were aprt of a kit with the doubler, but its looking like I will be able to do tham as I was hoping...

update update ding ding
After a couple of days, I finally got the shifters all done. One thing I was really trying to accomplish was to have the shifters come through the shifter plate on the top of the tunnel. My origional plan was to just cap the holes on the shifter plate and add new ones, but after looking at it, I decided to just build a whole new one, and it turned out pretty darn good I think

And here is how they turned out. I had to modify the 2 shifters we got with the t-case/trans combo, and make the 3rd one. But with the limited room, I think I was able to get them into a good position so jeff will be able to use them comfortably. From left to right High/low-doubler
High/low-t-case
Front output
Only issue I can see, how the heck are we going to put any kind of boot for the shifters.
