I like that little trick,, Im most likely getting an oasis tomorrow, them are pretty darn fast, but HUGE, lol and heavy oil feed, so Im trying to figure out where and how to install this thing

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.

Mike,
Ill be getting the XD1000 its the same size as this one http://oasismfg.thomasnet.com/viewit...r-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.
