Like the Oasis with a York compressor? Those are pretty big and expensive.

I'm very happy with my York set up.

It's been a few months but I got the OBA installed. I used the NWPF mount to mount a York 210 compressor. It's all underhood and I have an outlet under the front bumper and rear bumper, combined with a 1/2 gallon tank near the spare tire.

Freshly painted compressor after a heavy cleaning.

Got the flanges modified and intake and outlet sorted out.

Top view of the compressor. I had to cut, tap and cleanup the flanges. From the factory they have an automotive thread.

Here is installed after a day of moving components around.

I've also got a York compressor in my garage I'd be more than happy to sell if anyone is interested.

I have this setup in an ammo can in the garage. It's been there since I got my york.
I'd go York.

Mike,
Ill be getting the XD1000 its the same size as this one http://oasismfg.thomasnet.com/viewitems/air-compressors/xd3000-extended-duty-air-compressors?
it is huge, lol

Matt,
thats pretty sweet, but mine is to big and has to be mounted level, its oil feed :(

Mike,
thats a great idea with the little tank, that I could use just for the air horns, and lockers when I get them, as this compressor is as fast as CO2 or was when it was new, lol

I doesn't have to be mounted level but because of the Oasis housing it's easier that way. It can actually be mounted on it's side if you want. I opted not to get an Oasis because of the cost of the unit, cost of wiring and size/weight. In a 4Runner there aren't many areas to mount it that don't take up much room. 2 important things to consider is the amp draw they have and the heat they create. Even with the upgraded head and fan on the motor the compressor gets hot. This limits the tight spaces for installment but also requires some type of filtering system (from the moisture created in the air when it cools). I've had a york in 2 different vehicles for 10 years now. I've run many different filters and most can be quite costly (like the ones from Kilby). Currently I have several drops in the system as well as a filter for both outputs and it's working great.

Post up some pics of what you get and where you put it.

[Ric]

for sure, I know they get HOT, and are heavy,, I was thinking mounting it either behind the front bumper, or in the cab something like this:

from Oasis, they recommend it being mounted behind the bumper or on the frame itself as they are waterproof and actually built for the miltary, so Im hoping it would be able to handle water, lol

[4x4mike]

Wow.

Have you taken delivery of it yet?

[Ric]

Just got it,,, needs a little cleaning, but I need to figure out where and how Im going to mount this masive hevy thing, lol

[CJM]

We use those in our work trucks (well similar ones), for years we have had them wired with nothing more than a 50amp breaker straight from the battery with no issues-it has never tripped. Also only use it when trucks running, otherwise it would zap the battery.

Will air 0-60 psi truck tire in about 10-20 seconds or so depending on the size of the tires. They are bulky and man are they noisy tho.

[Ric]

I hear ya, and yes they get HOT,,,

[CJM]

Yes they do, but they do work well :)

[Flexus]

On my old 4R I mounted a 3/4hp behind the front bumper.

And I plumbed my sliders as air tanks (about a gallon each)

It ran both my ARB's, air bags and tire airing duty.

My GX is pretty simple.
