Well I said I was going to share my QuickAIR2 install pictures so I finally took them. ?On Saturday I was in no condition to stick around and watch them do the work so sadly I don't have pictures of the overall procedure. ?4 Wheel Parts Wholesalers did an outstanding install job IMHO.
The QuickAIR2 compressor is small and fits perfectly in the empty space by the A/C condensor by the passenger side hood hinge, to the rear of the shock tower.
The flexible little pump comes with excellent mounting hardware allowing it to be turned on the 90 degrees and you can relocate the on/off switch (as was done on my install).
I have yet to use it, I can barely drive let along go off-roading right now - but here are the pics...
Yup, there it is in the back left hand corner. ?There is sufficient clearance from the A/C plumbing so the heat from the compressor when running won't interfere or damage the A/C. ?They put a plate under the QuickAIR2 and mounted it to the plate.
No hack wiring job here. ?Everything loomed and tied. ?The wire is run to the firewall and tied to an existing loom. ?The unit is tied into the factory fuse box and will run without the ignition on. ?Running the QuickAIR2 without the engine on is probably not a good idea considering at full load it draws 28 amps!
Here is a view of the quick connect. ?All brass fittings and stainless mounting hardware. ?No filter needed and no lubrication either.
This picture didn't come out right but it gives you the idea. ?No, the switch is not down as far as it appears. ?However it is safely tucked away so an accidental throw would be next to impossible, further the compressor is on the opposite side, so no reaching in near hot engine components to start it, or a roasting hot compressor to turn it off.
The QuickAIR2 was $249.95
A 25 foot hose for inflation and brass quick disconnect was $29.95
Install was three hours including fabrication material of $227.00
I'm sure there are "do it yourselfers" who could do this for the cost of the QuickAIR and the hose.
