For all your OBA needs:http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthrea...ight=pdx%27ers
I finished mine up earlyer this week. with a 6gal tank in the rear it powers my 1/2" Impact with ease.. hell for short bursts the OBA will power the impact without the tank!

so all this is done using the original A/C Compressor? because i really have no use for a/c

yeah all off the factory sanden (or sankyo if your truck is old enough).
living in alberta i also get very little use out of my a/c. july august are about the only times i put it on, and even then its only once or twice a week haha

ok thats good to know,,
when i bought the jeep, the a/c didnt work,,, How can I figure out if my a/c compressor is working or if im out of freeon.
With that said, should i remove my a/c condenser? i kind of like it there, it blocks mud and whatever getting into the rad

You don't have to. But if you are having cooling issues you might find it is partially plugged. Mine was with lots of little tiny gravel from icy roads.

just a couple tips....
air coming out of the sanden air compressors is HOT.
the tubing MUST be rated at +500 degrees or it will melt.
also, sanden compressors work fine when lubricated...but don't expect much more than 5 years out of them running as air compressors, and if you do get more than 5 years out of them, you have been extremely **** about lubing it, or you haven't used it much (haha...that could be taken out of context...)
