Willman's 2001 Tacoma

Details to come!!!!! Not finished yet..........

Just a sneak peek!!!!

Looking like a very clean set up, I like it. Will wait for the detailed pics before asking questions...:jumping:

By the way, I have the exact same issue with my bed seal. I've had it on there for about 2 years and I plan on replacing it shortly.

I also have the same bed seal that I've had for roughly 2 years as well. It's got a few tears in it and is not as "spongy" as before due to being compressed most of the time but otherwise has held up fine and is still keeping dust and water out so I'm happy with it.

Wow I've been following this thread. Sweet Truck Pal:wings:

 

[OldSven]

So did you get a hose and try the compressor???

Looks real good...but I need details! Specifically, some details on what you have all that mounted to (some sort of plastic box?) and some details on your wire runs from the engine bay to the bed.

3/4" plywood box painted up! Came out great! The box is not done yet.....Going to use some metal mash (great for the compressor to keep things cool) for the front and a 3/8" plywood top w/ hinges.........

As for the Dual battery......The isolator gives power (charge) to both batteries....without letting the system know it is charging two batteries that are not tied to each other..........Down the road.....Going to upgrade to a 150 amp alt. for more kick!!!

Hope this helps:

The compressor is all in and works great!!!! It airs up to 150 psi to my 4 gal. rear bumper and kicks back on at 120 psi. Still need to test the system.......coming soon!!!! The compressor is wired to a switch in the cab.......

Now on to the winch........I wired it to have a power cut-off switch wired to the cab.....I also wired it with a 200 amp ANL fuse just in-case one of the wires gets cut etc.....I also up graded the winch wire from 2 gauge to 0/1 welding cable.......That will help keep things running cool under high amp pulls from the winch.......

Now to the pictures......All white tape is temp.......keep things safe

Winch wiring with fuse

Not done yet......more wire cleanup to do and i need to fab a rubber divider for the main aux. dis. block.

4 gal. Air tank with 150 psi cut-off

Gauge is temp......down the road going to setup some gauge pods in the cab...

Hella switches from rallylights.com...........winch, compressor and the factory fog lamp switch in the background.

Here's the Hella switch wiring diagram:

Nice!

Where'd you pick up that factory fog light switch? Stealership? What vehicle was it from?

Aux. Battery Wiring

Winch wiring with fuse

Nice job on all the plumbing and wiring. Where did you get the nice rubber boots that cover your ring terminals shown in the picture above? Did you crimp or solder the terminals on to the wires you made up?

Cheers :beer:,

Thanks for the kind words!

I used heat shrink rap.....works great and gives it a clean look......You can get it at the local home dump.....I did not have one of those $300 crimpers.....so i got some 0/1 lugs that have a hex allen screw.....Also worked out great!........

Overall....i'm very happy with the out come.......i still have some cleanup to do on the wiring........and can't wait to test the system tonight!!!!!

Check-Valve problems

My ExtermeAire took my check valve for alittle ride..........So i started testing the system finding only one leek....Not bad........With a little leek......It took me 9 minutes to air up all 4 tires from 15-35 psi......With my MasterFlow MF-1050 which is now dead...that took around five minutes a tire!!!!...Very happy with the new system......But on the second test....How long would it take to air a tire from 0-35 psi my compressor burned a maxi fuse on a restart????

So... i called Extreme Outback.......They said it is....ether a bad ground, or that the check valve is to tight......

Gound is good......compressor is only foot from the ground.....

Check valve......It looked a little tight on the one side but how do you explain this????

I found the ball and the spring just about out of the "T" with the plastic all melted......In the picture below.....right where the air hose meets up with the "T".....Is where i found the parts of the check valve all melted.........

Hummmmm what do you guys think????

Do i have a bad check valve.....I have a hard time thinking that over tighting the check valve will lead to the inside parts coming out......

Too close to the compressor. the discharge air can be exceptionally hot. If it physically needs to be there (rather than further downstream in the system) then make up a 3-6 turns coil of dead soft 3/8" copper tube and fit that btwn the compressor and the check valve. Hint: Use something like a piece of pipe to wrap the copper tube around when making the coil.
Once installed the coils do not want to touch. Congrats, you just made an air to air intercooler.

You make a great point on the heat issue.........Did some searching......Here is what the master himself has done with his setup.......I guess he has not had any issues?????

The only difference between our setups is that i took out the factory female piece and Scott left has inn........I guess the 1" really plays a big role with the heat issue??????........Going to give Extreme Outback a call and see what they think........

Yup too close to the compressor... looks like you need to move it further away from the compressor.

Scott also is not running a tank... so he might not have a check valve.
