Thanks Rick, the compressor does run off the duel battery but only through a direct attachment on its 50A Anderson plug. It really didn't like running through the relays and isolator that were only rated to 35A. It seams to run up ok in my initial testing and it will be good to get it out bush so I can go from 15PSI up to road pressures on all the tires and see how much current it sucks out of the battery. I deflated my spare to 0PSI and then filled it up to 42PSI in 1 Min 32 Seconds which I was happy with.

Over the weekend, converted my rear drum brakes on the TJ to disc brakes using Rubicon D44 parts. A straight bolt on conversion with no cutting or welding. My old seal was leaking, which destroyed the brakes and the bearing. So things had to be replaced anyway, decided to convert to discs.

It does make a big difference with working rear brakes. As they are all Jeep parts for a TJ Rubicon, should be easy to find spares in future.

It seems to easy... Whats the catch?

There has to be a "Jeep" issue in there somewhere. Did you have to promise your first son to "someone" in exchange for such a simple swap?

No catches if you have made sure all the parts acquired in advance are correct and matching pieces. I do have the list somewhere stacked away of what all of them were. The most difficult part was getting the old bearings off.
