Sorry I thought I'd taken a picture of it. I'll take one today. This is the one I bought ADD W1.com ADD W1™ Official Site | High-Performance Auto Parts‎ It was smaller than some of the other ones I'd looked at & with the dipstick you didn't have to pull the can to see how much oil is there.


Here are some pictures.

It's a York compressor that is made by Off Road Only specifically for use as air compressor. You can use a York off a car's A/C system but it needs to be modified to not blow a ton of oil into your OBA system.
The brackets were made by Kilby Air but they aren't in business anymore and only made a limited number of the brackets. The company that bought Kilby is CU Off-Road and they might still have the plans for the brackets. C U Off Road - Home If not you could make your own bracket with a little work.

This catch can can be mounted in different angles with the top like it is.





I've got it running from the PCV to the intake.

Did it come with the alternator pulley and belt?

The kit came with the alternator pulley but I don't think it came with the belt. But it wasn't an issue to measure it find a blet that fit. You can get the pulley from CU Off-Road but will have to build your own bracket.

Engine is back together and I'll be trying to fire it off to see if the intake has sealed this time in a few days.



It sure does LOOK good.

Started working on the Jeep today and had a few hiccups along the way. I'd cut 2 of the O-rings when installing the fuel rail so I had a mess.




At what fuel costs now days this wasn't what I wanted to see.



Used the MPVI2 and made a copy of the PCM to send to Ryan @ FRP.




Still have the check engine light due to the transmission but have my fingers crossed that once I can run it long enough to run the transmission thru the gears so I can check fluid levels as that might be the issue.



Got my FRP sticker installed on my garage refrigerator.





Man that exhaust sounds GOOD


First start after the head gasket replacement.


The exhaust from the drivers side.


I've got a check valve that I have been thinking about installing to see if it'll help with cold starts. But here it is after sitting for about an hour.
