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

Mine said m10 on the motor leads which is #8awg? I'm using #6 to to feed mine. Thanks for the great video.

Which battery did you use. I’m building something similar but I’m having trouble finding a battery that will fit. Thanks for any suggestions that you can offer.

These videos on your retrofitting these HF wiresless controllers are great! Tired of all these Chinese winches being the only option out of the box with wireless controllers so this is a huge help to steer me away from those.

This may sound dumb, but could we get a wiring diagram for this? I can’t seem to wrap my head around it. I tried wiring mine up and got nothing, idk what i’m missing

Looking to build something like this for my boat, any recommendations would be greatly appreciated

I modified the compressor and made a hose set up very similar to the way you showed in your videos - I chanced a few minor things. I made a write up about it on the WranglerTJForum, I saw you had a TJ at the end of the video. I had to mention your channel and how great all your videos are, thank you again.

What type of bracelet that is?

I would not bother about stepping down from 18v to 12v.. And 18v battery is small to run a fridge but is perfect for usb charging

Thanks for sharing, I was a little bit confused at first why you put a buck converter in there because most 12v appliance can operate at 24v also and USB charger will work from anything from 11v to 30 volts and remember that converter has convection losses..if all you need is to us usb charger the run it straight from 18v I will work just fine.

Thanks for the explanation at the end.

What would happen if say you are using the wireless remote to unroll and a kid picked up the wired remote and pushed the reroll button?

To be honest I clicked thinking somehow you were going to splice off the charging board to add those extra ports. Still that's a cool build. I'm guessing the collection of extra chargers came from acquiring tools that came with them?

Very cool Ryan, thanks.

Thank you for putting this together, one of the best compressor modification videos ive come across, has inspired me to finish my covid lockdown compressor build i started back in the pandemic.

Thanks for easy down to earth instructions. I’ve done this, but it was so long ago (a year) that I don’t remember tap sizes and drill sizes to do this for my buddy. I found your video, I was just going to skip through and look for the sizes, but I went ahead and watched the whole thing and now I’m sure I can do this for my buddy’s compressor. I like that you took off the heads and used a drill press, much better than what I was going to do. Thank you.

Good onya mate!

Very good presentation on doing this modification.

did you purchase anderson brand connectors or a different brand? Are the Anderson ones worth the extra money? Looking to do your compressor modification, air hoses and wiring process - should I go with the 120 amp connectors?

Thanks for answering my question.....will the wireless switch work on my Ramsey winch. It just might. I was wondering why you didn't just cut the wires to the wired connector and wire in the wireless wires. . But you did. Thanks for listening to me. Why are you still using the wired controller? I thought you said a pin was corroded. I understand a backup device. Nice job. Thanks.

Great install. I guess the only question I have is why not just run the 12V+ cable to the battery, and the ground back at the rear, like a seat belt bolt, or frame bolt somewhere in the rear. That would save running the two big cables up through all the confined spaces. It would be no different than installing a big audio amp in the back, keeping your grounding side nice and short; saves time, money, and frustration ;)

That's a great looking compressor mount :)

So the install video is great, ss 6 ga wire sufficient for the length of wire from the battery to the compressor? Have you done a full air up test to see how hot the wires get?

You said to bury 24" but you didn't add in the the loop or the two locks. Shouldn't you have added another 8" to 10"?

Worried about a Chinese board in there, so put in a Chinese relay LOL

No one ever shows the SWR reading? Its very high! Some of the readings depending on the type of antenna was up to 11.2 to 1... I had to strap a ground strap to the frame to get the SWR down to a reasonable match. Or find an antenna that does not require a ground plain? To much reflective wave back into the radio will destroy it. Just my take on the GMRS/HAM radio installs in jeeps.

Interesting that the seals in the top caps look like that of the Range Rover P38's air compressor

Works great so long as you never intend to use a soft top.
