Curious why you didn't just hard mount the Viair compressor... I have a Viair 400c mounted under my truck and it comes in handy all the time. Not as fast as the converted A/C compressor setup on my Jeep but fast enough for my use. It mostly gets used for airing up flat or low tires on other people's vehiches but I have used it to air up the truck tires too. It's been hanging out under the truck for about 7 years with zero problems, plumbed to a quick fitting to the rear bumper and wired to a switch on the dash through a 90psi cutoff switch relay.
I guess if the knock-off compressor dies, you can just hard mount the Viair in its place... Hopefully it doesn't die though...
Not a lot of room under the LR4 for that, and mounting under the truck takes more time. Building a custom mount, running longer wires, air hose, etc. I wasnt the first to figure out mounting in this location along with the LC Prado mount… someone on Reddit did and used a legit ARB single. Not to mention corrosion (northeast, yay!) if I mounted under the truck and I don’t think covering the thing in fluidfilm would be wise, but I could be wrong there.
This was quick, easy, cheap and works. That almost never happens.
