Gauging interest on PUMA air compressor 80 series mount

[LandCruiserPhil]

First set from the jig
Test fitment for accuracy
Final shipping cost from FedEx
Start FOR SALE thread

Note: Units for sale will not have any finished. Shipped raw metal

 

[jwilliams]

Great, let us know when and where we can buy.

 

[DominicanFZJ80]

Looks like a great piece of work. Will stay tuned for final price and purchase location.

 

[LandCruiserPhil]

DONE!


Fitment is great - With carpet being under the mounts the tightening of the bolts is critical to leveling the mount. Some shimming with a washer may be required on some vehicles to level the platform.

Shipping - FedEx and UPS will no longer ship un-packaged items. Everything will now be boxed Not happy with shipping cost but I have no control. Teaming up with your buddy or purchase both sides makes shipping reasonable.

Cost -
$100 local pickup
$125 shipped 1 unit
$230 shipped 2 units


*****DO NOT POST ORDERS HERE!!!!!*****

I will start a FOR SALE thread in the proper section very soon. Complete with all needed info to order.

It's hard to tell from the pics but if I put a straight edge across the two mounts would it be level?

Are you trying to build a sleeping platform?

 

[Dissent]

Awesome! Why yes I am. I am trying to avoid a big frame frame and when I committed to a pair of these it seemed a no brainer. I'm picturing a few simple pieces that break down flat in no time and this is the part that was always missing. Now my scheme will be complete!

Good idea!

Will someone be able to help me with wiring this Puma up? The be honest, I am clueless how to wire this thing in.

Install a 12V 70A breaker on the back of the battery box
Run #4 wire from the breaker to the PUMA
Install an Anderson plug on the PUMA and new #4 wires
Plug the Anderson plug together
PUMA installed

#4 wire source

Is it necessary to rewire the Puma?

No
The Anderson plug makes the transition from #10 to #4 easy along with giving you an easy means of disconnect.

Great that's what I figured... next weird question.

I ordered the SB50 series because I knew the Puma was #10.
Can you connect the SB50 and the SB120 together? Their graphic shows them being different dimensions from the side. But I wasn't sure if they are plug and play together.
Or do I need to have two SB120's in order to wire this all up.

Thanks in advance.

You will be fine with the SB50...use #6 connectors for the #4 side. I find with electrical lugs and SB connectors going 1 size smaller on stranded wire works much better.

Pictured is SB50 connector use to connect a starting and house battery together using #4 for the last couple of years

Thanks for the fast reply.

Phil,
what a great idea! But your marketing ... boo
You need to market them as a foundation for the diy guys! I mean, these could be the foundation for pretty much any kind of build for the cargo area.

Great base for a rear platform, storage drawer, boxes... whatever you could think of.

So how many can I count you in for
