    Supplemental Electric Air Compressor

    Those are neat, thank you for sharing. A lot of expandability options too! But I'd like to have the heavy fuses too.

    Supplemental Electric Air Compressor

    I sent an email to Extreme Outback Products over the weekend, and received a reply this morning! Great customer service. As already easily found on their website, Tips & Instructions: http://www.extremeoutback.com/tips_instructions.html They do stock replacement filters, they are P/N: 002-102...

    Supplemental Electric Air Compressor

    Thanks. I will check the hose for additional marking, but yes, it is 3/8" DOT nylon tube from the air compressors to the manifold with push-on connectors at either end. It looked just like the 1/4" air brake line hose I have used previously. Edit: As answered later, there is no unloader on the...

    Supplemental Electric Air Compressor

    I have thought about it, but I really don't want to manually turn on and off the air compressors, each and every time they need to run. Besides, that wouldn't add the 100 times complexity that wheelspinner said it would. :razz: Now that I know that the breakers are auto resetting, it does...

    Supplemental Electric Air Compressor

    I've removed one of these breakers. It appears to be a Cooper Bussmann "Short Stop" Type 1 auto reset 24V 30A circuit breaker. More info from here: http://www.wiringproducts.com/bussmann-short-stop-circuit-breakers"Bussmann 'Short Stop' circuit breakers are Available in type 1 auto reset (12...

    Supplemental Electric Air Compressor

    So the Extreme Outback air compressors arrived much sooner than I had been anticipating. What a cool little unit in really great condition for Military Surplus! It'll almost be a shame to disassemble it. :P Mine was slightly different than advertised (manufactured in 2009 vs 2010) with the data...

    Supplemental Electric Air Compressor

    Mr. Rustystud, thank you. I hadn't put these two suggestions from Sparkyz911 & Gimpy together yet. I'm a little slow I guess! ;) Additional tanks + pressure protection valve and run the air assist from the the secondary tanks. I like this a lot. I'm still going to add the electric compressors...

    Valence's M66 Gun Ring

    That looks like it's for a convoy light or antenna. Definitely not for a gun ring.

    Supplemental Electric Air Compressor

    That's interesting, I've not heard about any such quick release or auto disconnects. I suppose the emergency side ball valve would have to be modified so it just doesn't dump the air. My M105A2 trailer is older with only 1 (service) air line. I've thought about adding some over head tube that...

    Valence's M66 Gun Ring

    I haven't used anything else other than the heat shrink. I'm going to try the Plasti Dip. In the actual can (not the spray on), like this: https://www.amazon.com/Performix-12213-Plasti-Dip-Black/dp/B00I9SK8XY/

    Supplemental Electric Air Compressor

    That would certainly get the most air for time (and possibly money), however, the only information on upgrading the stock engine mounted air compressor that I could find is this thread: upgrading the LDT/LDS air compressor And the most helpful posts from that thread: The stock deuce air...

    A deuce tent

    I received my poles yesterday. They're a bit more "used" than expected and I had to fix a couple pins who would easily self extract, but these are pretty neat poles (also in need of a cleaning, and maybe a painting)! My military "tarp" I'm using on this project is about 12' x 12', so I'm...

    Supplemental Electric Air Compressor

    Thanks for the tip on the check valve! I won't have the compressors in hand until at least next weekend (02/18/2017). My thought was, each compressor is 22 A @ 100 PSI, so if I wired each one to a separate fuse it'd be within the circuit capacity, but good point - not by much (and each one...

    Supplemental Electric Air Compressor

    My thoughts too Jblach! At the moment, I think I'd set the electrical air compressors to turn off at about 100-110 PSI and turn on below about 70-80 PSI. They would not run any more continuous than the current engine air compressor, and I do not yet have any plans to expand the air reservoir...

    Air pressure bleeder sounds like someone is using an air nailer in my cab?

    Could you just buy, I assume, the correct governor? http://www.eriksmilitarysurplus.com/airgofortrwi.html http://www.bigmikesmotorpool.com/products/air-governor-for-compressed-air-system-m35a2-m35a3-m809-m54a2-m939-10900525-5-284358

    Supplemental Electric Air Compressor

    Well, with many thanks to Mr. Gimpyrobb, I have finally decided to purchase this military slightly used set of Extreme Outback 24V Air Compressors. The bonus here is that there are two air compressors and that they already come with rubber isolator feet, switch/relay wiring, and even a short...

    A deuce tent

    Agreed! Obviously the simplest option is just as you said, tailgate up, rear flap down. My project is to address the three issues I had with that approach: The difficulty of climbing in/out of the bed with the tailgate up Not really able to secure the rear flap once inside if the wind comes...

    Valence's M66 Gun Ring

    Just this past weekend, I lucked out at a gun show. I was able to find three .50 "Linked" stenciled ammo cans with all matching paint, lettering and lot numbers! These will look a lot better in the mounted ammo can trays than my "5.56" stenciled cans! I considered getting more than just these...
