Feel free to ask me any questions you may have about the build!

Between you and Kevin, you guys built a wicked system!!!

@wim0104 2 года назад

best way to add the pressure safety, thank you! I'm using the 2nd reducing bushing to keep the factory tail & connector; that' how I have setup all my extension hoses.

Nice work!!

Love it! I had a blast building mine - and it’s really super easy 🤠

@Jonathan403 11 месяцев назад

Great video! Got gifted one of those compressors from a neighbor and it had the switch attached to the line. Going to rebuild it to your spec as it looks much stronger. And a simple yet effective 4 tire hose setup. Thanks!

@LexusOverland 11 месяцев назад

Hey thank you! I appreciate that. Enjoy the build!

Instead of just a pressure switch you can buy a combination pressure switch/ unloader valve so that the compressor doesn't start under load, which I'm sure is why a lot of compressors tell you to have the compressor running before hooking to the tires. The unloader switch is bulkier but will help the compressor live longer

@motogun1040 2 года назад

Good job bro!!!!

@LexusOverland 2 года назад

Thanks homie 🤠

@MrDeticus 2 года назад

I made a 4 four wheel inflator/ deflator many years ago. I used a pressure regulator just before splitting off to the tires. I valved the splits off and set the pressure I wanted to inflate to, then opened the valves. I could inflate to where I wanted without having to monitor it.

@LexusOverland 2 года назад

Nice! That's awesome!

@kriegersa 2 года назад

Awesome! I’ll likely do this to my other compressor! Thanks for sharing.

@LexusOverland 2 года назад

For sure! The principle should be the same - splicing the pressure switch in between the on/off switch and the circuit board. I should have mentioned it in the video that the pressure switch just works by cutting continuity when the upper pressure is met, and restoring continuity when the pressure is relieved. Super simple and great!

@DuanDao 2 года назад

i have a smittybilt air compressor with a janky fitting, i need to get that replaced with more standard connections. Thanks for this vid

@LexusOverland 2 года назад

Ooo that’s gonna be a great upgrade! Appreciate the comment!

@papadoc7019 2 года назад

Hell yeah I just put some STT Pros on my 100 series LC

@LexusOverland 2 года назад

They’re too dang good 👏🏼

@ScaleofTwo 2 года назад

That pressure cutoff switch is great. Wondering if I’d be able to do the same thing with the viair 400p, mistakenly bought the non-automatic one and have been too lazy to return it 😅

@LexusOverland 2 года назад

You sure can! Just find the wire from the on/off switch to the circuit board and splice it in. I’ve heard of people doing it on others. Do it!

@BoomyTheGoblin 2 года назад

How did you fix a car with a compressor mod?

@LexusOverland 2 года назад

His secondary air injection pump went out and he rigged this to work in replacement. Pretty cool stuff!

@dkshdw2004 2 года назад

I saw Kevin's video before yours, but I really appreciate some of the tips you gave. Like the Napa rewards, as I was able to order one under $100, tax included. One thing I can't decided on is the pressure gauge. Should I get a digital or analog one?

@LexusOverland 2 года назад

I appreciate that! Kevin’s video is awesome. Nice work on getting a good deal! I have an ARB digital tire inflator and it’s been great for the year or two I’ve owned it. My logic for getting analog is that it will always work. Never have to worry about batteries or anything weird. If you’re not out in the boonies frequently I’d go digital. Otherwise, analog is the safest bet!

@obrianmcc12 2 года назад

I saw in another video that the positive leads on their pump had wire strands pocking through the heat shrink ... I just picked up one of these and pulled the cover to find the very same. I would advise this to anyone before using to check these wire leads and re-wrap if necessary. NAPA needs to require the manufacturer to better their QC.

@LexusOverland 2 года назад

Yup, that’s the video I referenced. You don’t get better QC at $114 a compressor unfortunately! Lol

@SilverrFoxx 2 года назад

Thanks for the video and great you gave credit to Kevin as well! I just purchased this compressor and seems to be awesome for the price we'll have wait on longevity. I am interested on the pressure switch, but I am not too sure if it is healthy for the compressor due to its design as it will pressurize the heads and seals while on standby. Not an expert on the subject, but is just an idea! Any opinion or anything that you might know about it? Thanks again!!

@LexusOverland 2 года назад

I appreciate the kind words! Thank you! Ideally you will only have the compressor pressurized momentarily. As soon as you disconnect the air hose it will relieve pressure. It is very normal for compressors to build pressure and hold it, such as in a shop situation with a larger compressor, so I doubt it will make a large impact on the lifespan of the compressor.

Where did you purchase, do they have more? I'd buy one from you they are sold out here

Hey I appreciate the video and links for the parts! I'm going to build one myself. Do you have a link for that nice valve on the manifold?

@LexusOverland 2 года назад

I appreciate the support! Good catch - I completely forgot to add it! Thank you for pointing that out. I have added the link to the description and copied it below! amzn.to/3yxxETF

@lbutler 4 дня назад

Awesome video, exactly what I was looking to do since I dont have the tools (or desire) to do the in-line drill solution for the pressure switch a lot of others have done. Do you mind sharing what lengths you cut the hose for each section?

@LexusOverland 4 дня назад

I based my lengths off of the video referenced! If I recall correctly, he has a basic formula for calculating lengths from your wheelbase

@joesernett6549 2 года назад

OVERLAND!

@LexusOverland 2 года назад

WOOOOO

@norcoredneck 2 года назад

What size pinch clamps did you use out of the set? Thanks.

@LexusOverland 2 года назад

I’m traveling for the holidays so I won’t be able to check the dimensions for a bit. But I used the clamps that just fit over the hoses. There were enough in the kit to do all the clamping I needed!

@mauizzyadventures25 2 года назад

What size wire did you use to connect to the air pressure switch?

@LexusOverland 2 года назад

I believe a 16 gauge? It’s not super crucial to be a thick wire as it’s just a signal wire to switch the compressor on or off. It intercepts the factory wiring - so you can match that!

@philwhite8623 2 года назад

I am looking to hard mount this compressor. Can it be ran on its side?

@LexusOverland 2 года назад

I believe you are able to mount it in any orientation because it is an oil-less compressor!

@jourdanholder6999 2 года назад

CACHUNK!

@JaydeeRueca 2 года назад

What size pinch clamps did you use ?

@LexusOverland 2 года назад

I can’t recall the exact size, but the kit I purchased had a clamp that was just a little larger than the outer diameter of the hose I used. Worked like a charm!

@uaesanddrive 7 месяцев назад

Hi may i ask why when i do mine the pressure switch doesn't work at all i have tried different switch but i dont have a good luck, any reason why it doesnt work for me? :(

@LexusOverland 4 месяца назад

Are you certain your wiring is correct? I’d double check that!

@Threedaysextension 2 года назад

How much did you cost for the 4way inflator?

@LexusOverland 2 года назад

Cost was around $100, give or a take a bit. I purchased other items at the same time. I did link every item in the description so you can add them all up on Amazon!

@ken-w 2 года назад

Is the small Red wire going into the motor a thermal overload?

@LexusOverland 2 года назад

Unfortunately I am not familiar with the circuitry beyond where to intercept for the pressure switch!

@ken-w 2 года назад

@@LexusOverland I found that it is a thermal overload switch.

@LexusOverland 2 года назад

Nice! Good find!

@irwinjimenez 2 года назад

What is the range of that pressure switch?

@LexusOverland 2 года назад

It’s a 90-120 psi switch - it’ll shut off the compressor as soon as it hits 120 psi, and when you open the air valve it immediately kicks back on as the pressure drops below 90. Works perfectly and 120 psi does not seem to stress the system at all. You could purchase lower psi pressure switches if you’d like!

@irwinjimenez 2 года назад

@@LexusOverland Thanks. I just ordered the exact same compressor, being delivered in 1 week. I'm doing the same upgrades you are, so thank you.

@LexusOverland 2 года назад

Hey that’s awesome! Good luck! I’m happy I could help!
