Installed, and ready to use. I have to mount the rear seat so Mike & I will know where the air tank can be hard mounted. Everything works likes
a dream. The interior of the Jeep rumbles along with the dual compressors, and this gear airs tires up *fast*.

Goog goin' Ken. That's quite a setup. Will stay nice and tidy there. Are you gonna "box" it in? Just line it with a good insulation and put rubber
pads between the compressors and the body and it will make a huge difference in sound and vibration.

Ken, where do you put any camping gear with that thing taking up so much room? I think you need a Liberty or a Commander! If only Jeep made the
Gladiator concept truck!!

I have practically zero space for camping gear now. The rear seat is going back
in the Jeep, I'm selling the rack and turning the 2 seater Jeep back into a 4 seater - this is my daily-driver as you all know.
I will be installing my 360w amp soon, and mounting a subwoofer inside of the rear seat since there is no space for the 10"speaker w/box. This should
improve the sound nicely.
There are rubber feet mounted to the base of the compressors, but they do very little to dissipate the vibration. As for heat, I will just open up
the back of the Jeep for airflow if needed. This system works very fast, so unless I am airing up additional vehicles, this won't be an issue.

So now you are a portable, four wheel drive compressed air service...
Can you put enough gear, ice chest, etc. on the new back seat... ? I guess so, because otherwise it would be useless for camping trips!
Of course, if you go camping with us, the beauty of a 4WD pickup bed comes into play and you can toss your gear in it! Of course you can refill my
tires when we leave Shell Island!

Hey, I'm glad to finally have a great air system in my Jeep. I've needed this setup for the past 5 years. Space isn't a problem with the options out
there for Jeeps and pickups nowadays. I wouldn't drive a swb pickup like my old Ford Ranger if you payed me.
My off road rack has provisions for 2 cans holding 5 gal. each.
Above is the ice chest holder. It fits the Coleman Extreme nicely, although, I am looking into the ARB Freezer/Fridge and trashing the ice chest.
With all of these new modifications, I've never been happier!

I'd be happier with a tricked out JK Unlimited Rubicon and no monthly payments, but at least I have on-board air now..LOL

Not forgetting the need for heat dissipation, of course...

OOOPS!
Good point Larry. Ok, drill holes pointed away from your direction OR a 3 in tube in&out and put a small thermostaically controlled fan in there.

In less than 15 min., you have all of the tires aired up. Its not like with the guys with the lesser-duty compressors who are trying to air up their
tires. With everything working in tandem, heat really isn't a big problem.
