to run air tools you need an adjustable pressure regulator. ask creighton about building one on the cheap. or too bad sharpe beat you to buying the one creighton had for sale.

Yes, I also agree York OBA is the way to go if you have a way to easily mount it. But, this is a TJ right? I know Kilby Enterprises makes a TJ bracket kit for doing OBA, but price wise, what you're doing would probably be cheaper depending on what regulator you go with for your tank. Just do what most people in this club do...when you need air, make sure you're within 50ft of Lurch.

I would recomend OBA as well. With that said, I have had all the parts to assemble an OBA system for about 3 years and have yet to actually install any of it, mostly due to the PITA of making a bracket to mount it on my engine. And I just bought a CO2 setup from Creighton
On the 8th day god created the Super Swamper TSL and said "go forth and kick ass"
If the 2.5L mounting is the same as the 4.0L mounting, the bracket is incredibly easy to make. Just go look at Kilby's design, and make one of your own out of scrap steel...so easy even I could do it.

The power steering pumps are in deferent locations on the 2.5 and 4.0L. Also if you don't have air conditioning it would be alot easier to mount. Anyways, the bracket is not hard but the clutches can be expensive. I am just going to turn my AC compressor into an air compressor because the AC is pretty useless in my jeep (it is fun to turn on just because I have it though)
Anways, I scored a great deal on my Regulator. It is not adjustable pressure but I picked it up used at some welding supply around BCS for $15.

The office sucks - I wanna go wheeling!
or mine...
There are enough folks in the club that have it that it would be smarter to just save the money you would spend on the tank, regulators and refills and put it towards an oba for yourself. There are a couple of good articles on how to convert your a/c compressor or find a york on some old vehicles on pbb. I know the 'wait and save your money' isn't what you wanted to hear, but it is by far the best advice.
I am not loosing the A/C on my Jeep, its one of the reasons I bought it... The RX-7 dosent have A/C and I will not do that again... It's my DD, and that wont change for another 3 years or so.
So I need to look at welding shops for the regulator.
