That's a sweet setup! Nice job man!

[@Matthew-tm2oq]

Thank you so much for making this video, I've been looking at doing the exact same thing to my Smittybilt 2780.

[@muralidharamysore2549]

Thank you very much for this informative video. It's exactly what I was looking for ! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge .

[@7eis]

Excellent solution. Air switch will work good with a small tank for me to clean chainsaws out. Save the hassle of a switch in conjunction with a separate battery for appliances.

Hopefully they help you out!

[@F150ownershipguy]

Great video

[@JS-df8qm]

it may be budget but it looks well made, if I were you I'd add a 1/2 gallon tank, they are pretty cheap and it would give you a bit of a reserve before the pump kicks on, otherwise it looks mint.

[@hvacdr]

Once u do all that work heck no. Get 1.5 gallon or larger tank and use all high pressure hose lines at 120 cut in 150psi cut out. Can run air tools and blow gun. None of that push on plastic hose crap. Also get a high end compressor i got the 480c. 1 gallon will work and I'm using it but it's barely enough.

[@julianjimenez9901]

Awesome setup, really digging the clean look. What are the 3 switches wired to though.

[@NSQGarage]

1 is to my bed lights. 1 is to the compressor. 1 is spare

[@abelvargas9307]

Badass setup. What straps are you using for your maxtraxx to hold them down.

[@SquareOneForge]

Nice set up, I’ve been looking to set up my Viair in a similar location. What size tank do you have and where is is mounted? Thanks man

[@NSQGarage]

No tank! The compressor runs directly to the air chuck!

[@drunkinmaster1]

Hey man your setup looks like what Im trying to do with a smittybilt 2781. Did you run your power to the starter or do you have constant power? Nice truck BTW. I have a 2019 STX 3.5 and absolutely love it. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts.

[@NSQGarage]

I ran my power to the battery so that I could use it at any time, even with the truck off. The other option would be to find switched power somewhere and use an add-a-fuse.

[@matthewbagley4762]

Nice job! I have a retrax tonn cover that rolls into a canister at the top of the bulkhead. I’m thinking of mounting a viair compressor and small tank to the bulkhead beneath that canister. Have you been happy with the noise level from compressor? I’m concerned it will vibrate the bed and be too loud.

[@NSQGarage]

It is pretty loud. I would try to get a model that has some good rubber feet so it mitagates that. I think the smittybilts would work better. The sound also seems to amplify in the cab. Not really an issue unless the baby is sleeping lol.

[@matthewswearingen5042]

How many cycles does it go through to top off all 4 tires?

[@DJC995]

Nice wood like to do some thing similar on my truck thank's

[@matthewmcbride1379]

I love your switch box! Where did you get those switches? Where is your air tank?

[@NSQGarage]

no air tank! its an on-demand system. the relay triggers the pump whenever you use the air. i think those switches were just some generic ones off of amazon

[@mckutzy]

Interesting setup... and as cheap for those in Canada aswell.... What is the pressure switch/relay for, as I see this is a tankless system??

[@NSQGarage]

It allows me to leave the switch on and it turns off when not hooked to a tire

[@esminpete]

Nice Set up . Looking for something like this to set up my Gobege Air compressor. But One question, what kind of hose do you use to run the air towards the toggle switches? Thanks

[@NSQGarage]

I just used the rubber hose that came with the compressor. An option to consider might be some polyurethane hose with the push-in fittings.

[@esminpete]

@@NSQGarage thanks

[@MaXimus666789]

I don't understand the point of the pressure switch, like those couple of second before the connect to another tire. I wanna do the same but with a adjustable pressure switch. Connect the tire set the pressure and wait for it turn off. Can also then get hose to connect all four tires at once. That's the plan. Do let us know reasons for the pressure switch? Keep the videos coming!

[@NSQGarage]

I did it because I didn't like the idea of the compressor running all the time. Admittedly, it is probably and unnecessary complication.

[@multihobby4793]

I've seen you on TFL, and now I randomly come across your video lol

[@dillonmendonca2804]

Hey love the setup. Was wondering if you have a wiring diagram of what you did there? I’d love to do something similar on my Jeep. I have the same compressor.

[@NSQGarage]

Where did you get the housing that houses the switch and air line quick disconnect near the tailgate? I have a viair 400P and am going to do that same thing. Thanks!

[@NSQGarage]

The switches are mounted onto some 90 degree aluminum. The box that holds the relay is in the description along with the air chucks.

Nice.

[@andrew-ec9vv]

Can you do a video on the bed extender you have?

[@NSQGarage]

It's just the oem ford one? What questions do you have? I think there are a lot of videos on it. But I could be wrong.

[@andrew-ec9vv]

@@NSQGarage I’ve watched a few and they weren’t as well put together as yours would be from what I’ve seen of your other videos. I’m mostly just wondering if you use it often, what you use it for and if you’re glad you bought it or was it $400 wasted. I’ve seen a few installation videos but only one or two reviews of the Ford factory extender

If your gonna keep the truck for years and not trade it in you will have less expense with the v8 the turbo engines at about 180k will need the Turbos replaced soon

[@freedomseeds4713]

Also interested in the diagram

[@NotoriousBlake]

No issues running this at that 90 degree angle?

[@NSQGarage]

That's a good question. Admittedly, I didn't consider that risk. It did get loud towards the end of its life (before I switched to a power tank), but that could have been the cheesy mounts I made.

[@thepokeplug7448]

Do you have a tank or just running off the pump?

I see you are using a pressure switch. Exactly what is building pressure, i don't see any tank. What causes the system to reach the desired PSI?

[@NSQGarage]

The pump builds pressure in the line and then quickly shuts off

I'm sorry, I don't remember. I might have just grabbed one at the hardware store

Yes. I believe I ran those directly to the battery

@@NSQGarage nice i want to to the same thing. Im in New York and we drive on the beach all the time. do you know roughly how long it takes you to air a tire back up? Also is there a tank associated wiht that compressor? i see it has the regulator. Thanks for your help

[@NSQGarage]

@@fallyyerr8170 this was a tankless set up with "on demand" air. As far as time goesz it depends on what pressure you are going down to and how big your tires are. If I did this again, I would choose a bigger pump. With this set up, I was spending 10-15 minutes a tire to go from 25 psi to 35psi on a 35x12.5r17

@@ujayet hmm I don't think so. I think blowing air uses a ton of flow. This pump only has 1.47 CFM. I don't think a larger pump could keep up either. What you could do is store a full tank and refill it before you hit the trails.
