Extreme Air
I have had the Extreme Air for several years. It's been a tough compressor being able to run 100% duty cycle. It will pump to what ever shut off selonoid you put on it. You must use heavy wiring also. Here's what I did for my raptor.
I installed it in an Ammo Can I had.
This is the way I installed the compressor in the ammo can. You do have to grind the compressor mount down about a half inch to fit completely in the can. It fits nice and snug but also will come out if you want to. The beauty of this also is to be able to move the compressor if you want to another vehicle or ?? with the proper electric hook up. You can see the quick connect electical connector that I used on the right side of box. It is a trolling motor connector. I wanted to use 8 gauge wire up to the front for the battery hook up.
You can see how nice the compressor fits and there is enough room to store my 25 foot hose. When you are using the compressor you have to have the lid open to hook up the wire and run the hose to your tires. It gets plenty of air this way.
I grounded the 8 gauge ground wire to the bed underneath and ran the 8 gauge power wire up to the front along the frame rail. to a selonoid switch. I ran an 8 gauge power wire to a 100 amp circuit breaker. The circuit breaker is powered by an 8 gauge wire from the Battery. The upfitter wire for #3 is connected to the selonoid switch so there is no over burden on the switch amperage.
That completes the installation.
I have a 2 gal Viar Tank that I will install but have not decided where yet. The tank is exactly the same length of the ammo box and no wider. I was thinking of mounting it on the lid so as it is opened I can hook up to it and use some air tools. NOT an impact wrench but blow gun, air ratchet etc. I use a battery operated impact if I need to although a good old fashioned lug wrench works very well and there is never a concern if it's going to work or not.
I saw someone ask if the engine needed to be running. Absolutly if you want you battery to be there after airing up 4 big tires. There's alot of electric draw from this compressor. I can blow each of my KM2 BFG KM2's muds up from 25 to 45 in less than 5 minutes usually and it is nice not haveing to worry about the compressor heating up.
