TJ stock locker compressor?? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

flatblack51 · 03-08-2012, 12:53 PM

I picked up some rubi axles but the compressor that came with them was busted up and not usable. what did you guys rig up to make the lockers work or where can I find a small cheap compressor to use. thanks in advance

You need 5 psi of regulated pressure for the 2003-2006 Rubicon lockers...

flatblack51 · 03-08-2012, 01:46 PM

yep and thats why i'm asking what you all did since its a PITA to try and find a used air comressor set up

jeep937 · 03-08-2012, 02:23 PM

Blow in them

flatblack51 · 03-08-2012, 03:05 PM

only people from dayton do shit like that

ken white · 03-08-2012, 03:21 PM

Get a low pressure, high volume, hand held, bicycle pump...

Check the dealership they're actually not that expensive

I bought mine from the dealer. Cheaper by the time you factored in another air source and a quality regulator that could get down to the 5 PSI range. That was the difficulty and I dont recall having found one I would trust not to blow the seals or whatever out.

You can also find them used for even cheaper if you look around.

some JB weld and some 3way barbed fittings ad it's fixed. thanks for the valid inputs and the shananigan comments

You're running one compressor for both lockers?

flatblack51 · 03-09-2012, 10:10 AM

nope ARB running off of a CO2 tank in the rear and the stock locker in the front on one compressor for now.

frostytj · 03-09-2012, 10:15 AM

Gotcha. I read rubi axles, the compressor and assumed stock lockers front and rear and single compressor.

One of my factory rubi pumps is out and i've been running both lockers off one stock compressor for over a year now.

Kind of defeats the purpose of dual selectable lockers.

Thats why I was asking. I know it can be done just didnt see the purpose.

Gearhead177 · 03-09-2012, 04:23 PM

Lol well it does and it doesn't. I've needed both lockers to get out of situations several times. So i'd rather have both then one. But yes i'd rather have both on separate pumps anyday. Just haven't got around to finding another pump.
