Picture Request - Manual Air Ride Switches/Gauges
Does anyone have any pictures of the layout of their manual switches and gauges? Hidden, in the open, custom.... let's see them.

Re: Picture Request - Manual Air Ride Switches/Gauges
My manual/paddle switches for the 64 are out of sight. I placed them inside of the buddy-bucket console.

Re: Picture Request - Manual Air Ride Switches/Gauges
Thanks for the information guys!
SCOTI... you hit the nail on the head my friend. Awesome install! Simple, clean and cool - it doesn't get any better than that. Any other switch/gauge installs? Could be on a car, truck, whatever.

Re: Picture Request - Manual Air Ride Switches/Gauges
Thank you! And yes, electric. I guess I think of them as "manual" compared to my buddies computerized preset system since I have to monitor and adjust each bag.

Re: Picture Request - Manual Air Ride Switches/Gauges
Glad to be of inspiration! To tell you guys the truth, manual valves have never crossed my mind. I'm going to look into it since I'm annoyed with my electric valves. Simplicity is a beautiful thing.

Re: Picture Request - Manual Air Ride Switches/Gauges
The only downfall to manual valves are the speed since they are 1/4 inch lines... But if that's not a concern then I don't see any problem with them. Oh... The air for the dump is right behind the switches too, so it would be a little loud... But I'm sure you could route a line off it put if the cab if it's a problem.

Re: Picture Request - Manual Air Ride Switches/Gauges
It's just air, so I think the dumping locally isn't an issue. I guess you could route a dump outside but seems unnecessary.

Re: Picture Request - Manual Air Ride Switches/Gauges
I've had it dump inside before. Not a huge fan. Loud and the burst of pressure hurts my ear drums. Plus when it dumps outside, it has more shock value to folks on the sidewalk..
