Thanks great ideas!

Your the only other person, I have seen online, who wets their marabou as they tie their fly. And most people can't whip finish the fly by hand. They always use a tool. Good looking fly! Thanks for sharing.

Great ideas, and it looks good!

Looks good 👍

Why is the circuit breaker after the switch?

Just curious when you’re using your air compressor does the air compressor speed up if you start your vehicle that is running off of? I replaced the compressor leads with a set of six gauge jumper cables that have a voltmeter built in them. If I run the compressor just off the battery it shows like 12 1/2 V but if I start the vehicle, the gauge shows 14 V and you can hear the compressor speed up. Is this a problem?

NIce box. Where did you get the on/off switch?

Great work and very informative

I’ve been watching several videos on adding the relay. Some things I have read and watched say that you want the relay on the hot lead instead of the ground side. I’ve tried wiring it this way, but I can’t figure out how to include the thermal protection wire into the mix. Any thoughts? Also since making this mod, have you used your compressor enough to actually have the thermal protection kick the compressor off?

Great video very clear, very informative and efficient, thank you !

Great video! Seems no simple project is always simple. Including problematic adds truth to your project. I am glad its not only my projects that are frustrating at times! Any reasonable way to add a fuse? Well done!

That's a very well thought out VHF/UHF Go Box. How do you charge your battery? Any reason you chose not to have a solar charge controller to charge the go box for extended operation? The 'shack-in-a-box' people have a great setup using an Icom 5100 and fits in the size of an Apache 3800 case.

Probably one of the most understandable videos for a non techie like me. 3 questions: how can you run 120 and is that the way you charge your battery? Have you hooked solar panels up to it? Thanks.....

What size is the Catastrophe fuse in your box? The fuse that is at the POS post of the battery to protect the wire that carries the whole load of the box. In case a short were to happen. Looked like a lot of unfused wires between the battery and the breaker? It was hard to tell in this video. Lots of Good ideas you have.

Excellent thanks for your video, much appreciated.

I used the red sb 175 as well, and I mounted my plug in the bumper so I don’t need to open the hood. I also have an Anderson connector on both ends of my 20 foot cable because my other vehicles have Anderson plugs as well. I made a set of clamps on 3 foot wires in case I need a jump from a vehicle that doesn’t have the plug. One more thing I did, on one end of my 20 foot cables, I used a black connector because it will mate to any color sb 175. Having the plugs in the bumper is really handy especially if freezing rain left a layer of ice preventing you from opening the hood. Just plug in and hit the remote start.

I’m getting ready to mount my (similar) compressor in the rear of my JLU and run the wires in a similar fashion. I see you used an inline fuse that came with the kit. I’m trying to figure out if I should use a relay or a fuse on the positive cable. Thoughts?

i thought about getting one of those, but my plug is differnt. great idea

Excellent clear instructions.

Great demonstration.....Clear, concise and accurate. Just got my new JL, so this is a perfect tutorial....

is this an oillress compressor so i can mount it upside down?

Thanks for the handy info mate appreciate the effort put in

👍🏼

So I am currently in the process of wiring that badlands remote into a worn VR Evo 12. The difference being I cannot wire mine to the plug the way you did because it uses a microcontroller. So when I wire the receiver directly to the solenoid I keep poped my fuse. I was wondering if I am missing something, or if anyone could give me insight

Aloha, where did you get your 2" tubing? 73 Mahalo and Aloha

So instead of having the one and off switch..could those two wires be used for a gang switch if long enough?

Great video man! I just got into the Anderson world recently. I’m doing an inverter and jumper cable setup. Got my China crimpers ready lol. Same ones you have. 👍

Would perhaps adding some protection against over discharging the battery be a good idea? I know Milwaukee tools have this to prevent damaging the battery.

Why wire to the front cig port? Why not go all the way to the battery?

I’m in the process of doing this and maybe I missed it but I need to know what color is out and what color is in?

You guys did a tremendous job, well done! PS: may I add 2 suggestions: to increase the safety of the operation I would have added (1).[bonnets up] of the 3 recovery vehicles and added [safety blankets] to the winch ropes.

This is literally the exact same way I’m planning to do my own. It also makes no sense to me well companies at all the extra disconnecting air fittings onto the manifold it’s just extra bulk and one more place for it to fail. I really like that you added an air chuck to the end of one of the hose. this is something I’m planning on doing.

You have some nice features there sir. Any lessons learned or changes since the video? Thanks.

great build bravo!!

Have you seen the Thors lightning or M.O.A.B with the display and auto shut off once it reches desired pressure? It stops and checks the pressure while airing up just like an air pump at the gas station. Any thoughts on how to make a system like this?

I tried this and a bunch of sparks flew out and them my battery started on fire. I kept pushing the remote buttons but that o lay made it worse.

Cool

Great video, thanks! Thinking of doing the same mods to my compressor. How has that relay held up? I am thinking of mounting my compressor in the engine bay and am concerned about heat.

No back seat club 🤘🦊🤘

If you wanted to just use 18v would you just need the buck converter? Do you still need grounds etc or just hot in hot out?

Anyone figure out what they used for the models that allow the user to select the PSI?

Old push button seatbelt would make a good latch

Nice work.

It always surprises me with how optimistic stuff like this is with wire size. Even if technically it can handle the amps people always forget about voltage drop. Good video, I bet that motor is happier with the larger wire. I've got some of those huge 4/0 anderson connectors on my big diy lithium pack for running the winch and inverter. I need to get one of these compressors soon and toy around with it. I tried the a/c compressor into air compressor mod but it was really difficult to filter out all the oil it kept puking up, even with multiple catch cans filled with steel wool and a recirculating drain back into the intake.

if anyone uses the hose and fittings linked in the description i would recommend using the small dremel sandpaper bits to make the area you feed the hose through slightly larger. it is an extremely tight fit if you dont and, while possible to get through, will take a lot of time for each one (upwards of an hour). using the dremel from the bottom, up until the threads start will make feeding the hose through much easier and is still a very tight fit

Fantastic video, thanks for making this!

No fuse needed with such a large amp draw on the battery?

The vast vast majority of jumper cables are copper coated aluminum and I see a lot of people using jumper cables on these. CCA is equivalent to a copper cable 3 or 4 AWG smaller….so using a 4AWG CCA isn’t an improvement to an 8AWG copper cable. And yes I saw that you realized the jumper cable conductor wasn’t actually 4 gauge. Just thought I’d add that in. The cable on the unit has to be pure copper otherwise it would not handle 90 amps any day of the week
