First of all this is on a 1996 4.0L Cherokee Sport with A/C.:lecture:
I thought I would start a thread with a few pics and some info on my on board air progress. The first thing that I done was ordered a K&N filter (part number RB-0910) and the Rusty's Air tube. I then went to the stealership and ordered a battery tray for a 2000 diesel XJ (Part Number 55174970) it was about $50 bucks.
Then was the fun part of upgrading/moving the battery cables. I decided to go with some 1/0 gauge (monstrous cable). I ended up using 14 feet of cable, 6 eyelets, 2 post terminals, 20" shrink wrap. My cost on the cables was $45. I upgraded every cable between the alternator, starter, fuse center, and battery.
When I got everything ready for the Optima Red Top battery I ran into a problem of the battery not liking to fit between the computer and the power steering reservoir. So, I decided to make a bracket to move the computer between the air filter and battery. Needless to say, everything is snugly placed.
I have the bracket kit from Kilby Enterprises (Part KE-1700) ready to install the compressor which I will probably do next weekend. The kit comes the bracket to mount the compressor and a combo pulley for the alternator (serpentine/v-belt). It also includes all the hardware that I will need to mount the bracket.
I will add some more pics to this thread when I get the compressor mounted.
Here is a pic of the driver's side
This a better look at Rusty's air tube
This is a look at the upgraded cables at the alternator
Here you can see that there is plenty of room for the new York compressor
I just put the compressor in there for a test fit.
