I did have to get rid of breather box and move battery to that spot and fabing a mount for it now. Still got to find certain compressor parts but all in all whole project should come in under $200.

I got a Sanden style A/C compressor on mine, I'm extremely impressed with how well it works. It reseated Cary and Charlie's tire back on the rim after they came off the rim. I re-air up my tires after a ride with it, used it for impact wrench, and for my air lockers. Not a necessity, but I'd say its one of the handiest tools I've got. Thought about that one but the York has its own oil resasvour . Would like to see your set up though. Might give me ideas I have not thought if yet. |

I'm not aware of a separate oil reservoir on mine, but it may have one... I do remember that there are some differences in how the the system is oiled. The sanden is a little smaller and takes ups less space, but I'm sure there's a good reason that Kirby went to the york style compressor. Here's some pics that I already have.   |

How do you oil yours? Also where did you get the combo serpentine v notch pulley and what is it mounted on ? The alt or somewhere else?

He said he took the breather off and shot a squirt of oil in it a couple times a year. It was a Kilby kit, so everything was already there. Actually, the P.O. said Kilby used his Jeep to design a kit for the 99 model TJ. Sorry, I'm not much help sourcing parts. |

Well got compressor mounted. Had to move battery and get rid of air filter box. Have run air line to tank I mounted in back. Charged the system to check for leaks and was none.
Now I got to run the electrical and figure a way to mount an v notch pulley on one if the serpentine pulleys to run the thing.

Don't you think that bolting that to the stable body and to the moving engine will be a problem ?
