I received the VIAIR 10005 for Christmas. This includes a 2.5 gallon tank and a 2.54CFM, 33% duty cycle compressor, plus all the stuff you need for a standard install. After fighting with a failing MV50 type compressor, it was time for an upgrade.

Needless to say, installing anything in our vehicles is never standard. I think if you had tons of room to mount everything in optimal conditions, it would be extremely straight forward.
Because of the limited space in our vehicles, it is more difficult to get this kit to fit, and required a few extra parts.
The tank:
I chose to mount the tank under the rear cargo floor, in roughly the space that would otherwise be occupied by the spare tire.
First, the setup of the tank, which included a couple of right angle pieces to clear tight spots against the body and frame.
Top of tank:
This will eventually connect to a hose coming from the compressor (installed before tank was bolted up, but not pictured).
Driver side of tank:
On the left is the pressure switch, the right, a compression fitting for the supplied air line.
On the passenger side is the safety release valve and another compression fitting.
On the bottom is the drain cock, complete with antiseize on the thread (I have replaced too many of these things in the past):
Completed tank:
Installing it was a nightmare. I had to do some yoga and black magic to get the nuts on the bolts. Needless to say, no pictures!
Installed tank:
The bolts go through the floor and stick up a little bit. They will get covered with tape, the factory rubber pad, recycled pad, and carpet, and shouldn't really be noticeable.
The plumbing:
Yellow is from the compressor, and was purchased separately. It is 10 feet long, but 3 would have been enough. Extra will get coiled up in the quarter panel. Red wire is from the tank relay, green wire is for the relay trigger (switched, more on that in the next post). Black is an air line that will feed the gauge (again, more on that next post).
Lines and wires from inside the quarter panel:
