Airlift Installation Pics

[Regency]

Hello!


Wanting to get some pic ideas on where to install my air line fitting for the helper bags! I saw a pic of the fitting installed near the gas cap that I liked but can't find the picture. Thanks in advance everyone!

I don’t have a pic but I installed the air fitting by my trailer hitch. Drilled a small hole on the left side of the bumper and it’s hidden when I have my hitch cover instslled

Similar to what Nathan did?

I was thinking about installing mine next to my gas cap. Looks like you have an NNBS, but my NBS already has a small opening next to the cap that I think would work perfect for the air line.

Exactly what I'm thinking. IIRC @NORCAL SS had his NNBS setup this way.

Here is a pic of mine on the '08 Burb.

Hope this helps.

It certainly does help, Thanks




Regency,
Hate to get off topic but, do you have any build threads on your Jeep?

No not on this forum... it's a 76MM turbo build. I'll attach some pics in my build thread.

Curious, why do people choose the gas cap location? It seems like that would be very tight. My first thought would probably be near the hitch.

Nice, thanks. I'll go check it out.

I think its for ease of use, without having to bend over I'd guess. And its fully protected from the elements.
Though it would be protected under your hitch cover as well. I don't have a cover for my hitch.

Mostly because it's out of sight and protected.

I like it because of the factory look.

I didn't cram mine behind the fuel door because not all air line nozzles would be able to fit and fill them. I don't have a pic at the moment but I have on on each side of the hitch. When I'm not towing and the hitch cover is on, they're completely hidden.

Stop by Accutint Bellevue and take a look sometime. I'd be happy to help

Cool. Hopefully my retro will be done

That is exactly what I was thinking as well, but thought maybe there was another reason people were installing them by the gas cap.

I dunno, maybe I'm over thinking this with having air line connects next to the gas cap, but I'd be afraid of making a spark hooking up an air line to pump up the bags. It seems like a bad idea to me, but it seems a bunch of people have done this without blowing up their vehicle, lol
