Super Cool Mod I have the Same Compressor . Thanks for Sharing !

No air circulation and laying on it's side what could possibly go wrong?

Hey man I got the drag link but it didn’t Come with that silver sleeve Can you tell me what size it is?

Not a bad idea for fitment. I wouldn’t have drilled a hole though. There are plenty of grommets to go into the engine bay.

I wouldn’t want to unload my gear just to get to the compressor, seems just as inconvenient as having to go under the hood! My solution would be a prewired Anderson connector located somewhere convenient and just plugging it in and go, but that’s just me... Cheers,

Nice. I wouldn’t mount an air cooled compressor in a tight space. I am not sure about mounting it on its side, but it’s oil less.. I see all of the comments about a fuse. There is a built in circuit breaker on the compressor.

Great idea, what is the width of the bracket holes. Awesome 👏

I run 2 of these in my Jeep as back up to my co2 tank. I use 4 gauge from the battery to a 100amp breaker. I then connect it to a 100amp isolator with 4 prongs mounted next to the brake booster. 4 gauge then runs from isolator to the rear driver side of Jeep connecting to a power distribution block splitter that splits 4 gauge to lower. I connected the 2 positive wires from the compressors on the block. Grounded the compressors at the rear. I ran 14 gauge at the isolator to my Stech system that controls the on and off of the compressors. I also grounded the isolator right next to the isolator. I used a 1/4in NPT T fitting combining the 2 air hoses into a 3/8 quick disconnect air hose. I can disconnect from the compressors to my co2 tank vice versa.

Turn on this smittybilt 2781and hear a popping sound is it normal or no?

One of the nicest, cleanest cut jobs I've seen yet. Thank you this is what I've been looking for.

@Cugoclub.. How has this held up? I'd like to do this but am uncertain about two things. 1) the heat generated. 2) the owners manual specifically states that the compressor is intended to be run in an upright position. Please let us know your long term experience.

Keith G First of all, for anyone watching this please put a fuse on anything you connect to your battery. Secondly, when drilling a hole in metal and running a wire through it, don’t forget to use a GROMMET… Not a hot glue gun! If you want to prevent your jeep from burning up, shorting out your battery, or destroying your equipment use proper installation techniques please. This is a good video from the standpoint that it taught me something that I needed to know but it would’ve been better if you would’ve use the proper technique and done a little bit of EDITING so that we didn’t have to watch all your trials & tribulations, mistakes and watch you strip the wires! Good video though, it taught me something

I bought 1 long time ago. Tested very high volume out put fast pump . Recommended .

Vedeo too long

Hell ya

Turn down that boo hoo music would ya 😂😂😂

Under the load floor ? And if the car is full of camp stuff and you get a flat ? you have to unload the whole damn car ...

Turn off that dammusic

pretty sure stevie wonder makes straighter cuts lol

I did this exact same process. 3 costs etching primer, 5 coats paint, 3 coats clear. Lasted 2 years before rust popped up

Anybody ever try and place this compressor in the engine bay without the plastic hose??? Not a perfect fit but does the heat affect the performance???Asking for a Friend...

It's been a few years now, how does the bumper look?

Where did you get the cb antenna mount?

Where did you get the wire from? Can I run to a relay then battery?

Great idea. Want to know how it’s holding few months down the road. Please give us feedback.

Good job

thanks for posting, I was wondering where to mount this in the rear, was going to mount on a wheel well, but this is so much better, will lose my lockable storage box, but well worth it - thanks again! You should do an update on how it held up and any thing that you would change from the original install.... (since I will be doing this in a few weeks :) )

I think you need to invest in a punch set instead of abusing your screw drivers

You need a fuse at the battery and you connected your negative terminal on the taper nut for the ground instead of using the auxiliary ground post. You need to buy a nut. You are preventing the taper nut from proper pressure on the battery post and will have grounding issues.

Thx for the video. I would strongly recommend that you check camera placement. All the materials needed and portions of the compressor you showed us were not showing on the camera. I think you were holding everything above the range of the camera. For newbies like me, I need to see all the parts and details

How has this install worked out over time?

If your watching this please sand the $h!t out of your bumpers before painting/priming, helps it hold on to the slick metal and will reduce any flaking

love when people post a video then you ask them questions and they dont relpy..

hey, nicely done, what size are your tires and the lift kit? thank you.

How is your bumper holding up? Any chips/scratches/peeling/fading on it? I'm debating on powder coating or doing this. Just want to know how durable and well it has held up over time. Thank you for video!!

I think it would over heat. Being in a close space.

nice video :), so how it goes in the trail, still work on that side ?! :)

if this were done on a lift with the tires hanging, versus jacks under the axle, would there be a difference in the angles?

Would this be possible with just a jig saw? I'm fairly crafty but I do not own a dremmel.

Thank you I did the same thing To my jeep

Jedicon huh? I see you are in Cali, we may need to meet up and introduce you to RockTrooper and Sidious :)

Good video I am doing my PSC brawler lite this weekend

Nice video, will be using your advice to do mine when I upgrade from the 35's

Nice install video. Any update on the performance?

Nice job.

Thank you for this vid! I was going to pay to get future poison spyder stuff powdercoated, but this seems simple enough and don't need to lug a big box around

Hey dude. Everything looks nice here, except for the power supply. First off, you only needed to run a power wire. You will get better current if you use both sides of that wire for your positive and ground it right by the compressor. Second, FUSE THAT WIRE!!!!!!! It will prevent a fire should it short out along the run. Nice clean install

Great idea but I have the same one and I don't think its designed to run on its side.

NIce, Will use your video to cut my fenders thX cujo
