On Board Air Tank w/ Impact Wrench

[Nottajeep]

The way I have my compressor mounted leaves no room for a 2nd battery. Some things can possibly be shifted around later, but it's hard to put a 4 x 7 x 11 inch block plus the ARB manifold in the engine bay and still have room to spare for something as big as another battery.

My compressor is mounted above the passenger wheel well towards the firewall.
PS reservoir had to be moved a little also.

How does this power the impact wrench? How do you have it mounted, did you have to make a bracket? I thinking about getting one.

Here is my setup.

Could the compressor be mounted under the vehicle with the tank, or is it bad location for water crossings, etc?

Arb says it's water proof with a relocated breather so it could be mounted with the tank.

Mounted on passengger fender well. Had to make a custom bracket.

Air hose runs to 2 gallon tank under rear. Then I can either air up in front or back. Airing up in front is good in case the rear is loaded with gear, trailer, etc...

Plus, you don't want to fill a 2gallon tank every time you are just turning lockers on during a trail ride so options are good to have with this setup.

It will run a small impact with the tank filled. Also airing up tires is really fast with a large tank supplementing air flow.

I can show you more next time we meet up. If you buy the compressor, I don't think you will regret it. It's a $$$ item though.

Air hose runs to 3 gallon tank under rear. Then I can either air up in front or back. Airing up in front is good in case the rear is loaded with gear, trailer, etc...

Just a suggestion: I'd trim the excess bolt threads...to possibly save a tire

For those with either a spare or aux tank mounted underneath...I bought a couple 1-gallon tanks from George at Extreme Outback and installed them behind my sliders underbody...only locations left on mine. And they're protected from damage.

LOL, I thought the same thing when I snapped the pic. They have never hit so far, but it's a good idea to snip them flush, especially since the SPC UCA's may have some more up travel.

What compressor are you guys running? Mine is rated to 150PSI but struggles to get past 130PSI

spressoAIR

9+cfm @ 200psi, 100% duty cycle

That's how my viair 280c was. As soon as got above 110psi it would get really slow.

Is this spresso AIR available for sale?

Was and isn't; I've got one kit stashed for a someday 2UZFE project. The system works fantastic but at the end of the day it was too costly for the 100 market; most don't need/want this type of air output.

I've installed a couple of the ARB CKMTA12's in friend's trucks and I thought this compressor performed very well given its price point and relative simple install. Some tank storage helps it when using for air tools, etc.

I have been searching for 200PSI compressors and haven't found many that can be used for OBA. Budget is tight, so I went with a MV50. I was doing a pressure test and making sure the burst valve worked and when it hit the burst valve it let out a cloud of black, oily smoke. Compressor dead

I am staring to think the issue may be the 37' of air hose I have running around the frame from the compressor to take and back to the bumper.

Let me end with this, when 150PSI is released via burst valve, it's one of the loudest things I have heard. It set off every car alarm in my driveway and both neighbors came out asking WTF that sound was.

In some neighborhoods, they would have just returned fire and not come out
