So you're gonna add a compressor...

[FusionCruiser]

If you are wanting to add a compressor when you get your FJ, I thought you might want some engine bay shots to start your planning.

Hope they're useful.

Electronic Rust Inhibitor. Guarantees the whole vehicle against rust for life.

I had one of those electronic rust controlers on my JDM Surf.
Didn't seem to stop the rust and they don't salt the roads in Japan!

You might ask your installer if they've ever heard of wire loom; aka convoluted tubing.

Dealer installed. As was the security system in that area as well.

I would take it back and ask for a professional installer. Sorry, but that's just me and loose wires (yes, I see the wire ties) in my new truck just wouldn't cut it.

GREAT, I can hear the complaints coming already......(service advisor hiding)

AATLAS1X,
Are you a service advisor? If yes, what would you do? (Just curious...)

The area on the right side of the engine is where it was located at SEMA, Its a horrible shot but you can see the top of the compressor.
I also agree about the wires, But Its your call.
Good luck

Well I wasn't going to say anything since he didn't say who installed it but that is a terrible job.

Can't put it in the top left, thats where the second battery is going.... unless I can fit them both in the factory location by turning them sideways??? I plan on moving my pair of 6 packs from my truck and giving my truck a single battery again before I sell it.

Ya know, I gotta overwhelmingly agree with B...I wouldn't even allow myself to do a job like that unless it was a temporary trail fix.

I'm putting my Optima in the empty on the right as well. Is anyone using a compressor other than ARB? (high volume pumps?)

Here is the one I want...

 

[Vitesse_6]

Maybe its just me but unless you have a winch and use it regularly I just dont see the need for 2 batteries? I have a winch on the 40 and only one batt. and havent needed more.....Must be a Canada thing
On the Quick air, I have a co2 tank that I built for 1/2 of what they cost, Sure you need to refill them but I can go almost a year before I need a refill and I do help other that dont have the means.
Good luck
