Easy must have waterport mod for overlanding!

[@FlorianR59]

Great video. Thank you !!!! One question, why not putting the check valve directly in the water port instead of the regulator ?

[@Rduchene137]

II think the same thing. A regulator with water (or corrosion in time) in it might not function properly. A 1/4' OD 1/8" NPT check valve directly into the waterport should be better. You could then keep water out of the regulator AND the compressor. As he shows it here, he is only protecting the compressor. However, there seems to be pretty limited availability of such a small check valve. The only one I see on Amazon has a review that it constricts airflow considerably because it's so small. you could probably connect an 1/8 male to 1/4" female into the water port and then the 1/4" check valve and then the 1/4NP press fit.

I made a shower for $25 with a Harbor Freight 2 Gallon pressure sprayer and a sink sprayer head from home depot. It's simple, reliable, and cheap.

[@MrBetoybrenda]

I’m going to do the opposite…. Water pump in pelican case attached to non pressurized water port. Less problems !

[@chrisridebike8]

Great setup but how I have mine mounted and the amount of tree branches that scrape along the sides of the truck, there’s no way that small air hose from the regulator to the push fitting would survive.

[@jmmart4]

What the correct size for the straight fitting cause the link is bigger then what my water port has?

[@marceld6061]

If using the Waterport for drinking water, make sure that any sealant you are using is safe to use for such a purpose.

[@ravenrising]

Not going to lie, the water explosion was the best part. Glad you smiled through it. GG

[@HT7980]

Couldn’t you just use a digital regulator at the end of your air hose to just fill as needed?

[@MikeMcQuitty]

The straight fitting is a male 1/4 OD 1/8 NPT

[@PerryAzevedo]

@chowcares - About to build this out myself. Why did you do the one-way valve before the regulator. Wouldn’t it make more sense to have that part as close to the WaterPort as possible?

[@chowcares]

That’s the only place for the check valve. It’s there just incase water tries to go backwards into the compressor (which it shouldn’t).

One of the channels! Excellent job as always.

[@terouze]

What size push to connect fittings did you use? The link defaults to 1/4 but that's way bigger than the original fill valve

[@eu4ian]

Did you figure out what the correct size for the replacement air intake fitting?

[@MikeMcQuitty]

The straight fitting is a Male 1/4 OD 1/8 NPT

[@theoff-gridchurch8272]

Always great content, you rock bro!

[@chowcares]

I appreciate that!

[@barrazafamily7010]

Which mount do you have for your water port? I have mine connected to the hitch. But would much rather have it on my back tire!

[@chowcares]

The same mount for the hitch. The arb bumper just so happens to have a 2”x2” reciever at the spare tire

[@roamingmountaingoat5477]

what makes the compressor come on and off? pressure switch? did you add that switch or its something that comes with the compressor?

[@chowcares]

Comes with the compressor

[@medolor]

👍🏽 good vid. What is RTV?

[@chowcares]

Gasket maker, silicon

[@omni_0101]

I want two weekenders, one for camp kitchen and one for shower. Should be easy enough to run the air hose through a splitter and keep both pressurized?

[@snoboardnathan]

Great video! Check valve is a must! I didn't have one and wrecked my compressor.

[@chowcares]

Oh no!

[@reefermadnesstv3472]

I have a cheap but reliable Viar air compressor. Do I need an arb air compressor for this to work or any air compressor would work?

[@TheVincent0225]

Great job! Just have a question, how can I control the air compressure below 40 psi if I use the on board arb air compressor ? By keep reading the air regulator gauge? Thank you

[@drew5301]

Chow! Can you do a video or give some details about your switch panel? Thank you!

[@stevenlowrey6617]

Great video but the background music is bothersome.

[@maisyray]

Love it. Glad you showed real life experience.

[@tyler90561]

Thanks brother ordered all the parts from your list. Super helpful video. Patiently waiting for the parts to come in to do this mod

[@tyler90561]

One issue I ran into is the push to connect valve that attaches to the waterport is no longer 1/4". I will order the 1/8" version to see if that works.

[@TRDNate]

This is awesome and a great idea

[@Mr3DFJ]

Do you have a link to your water tank?

[@Mr3DFJ]

NVM. googled it. Nice vid btw.

[@chowcares]

Added a link in the description in case anyone else was wondering

[@Trying858]

You do realize you are adding compressor oil to your water. This is a very bad idea.

[@hjstrater]

Arb compressors are oil-less, I assume that’s what he’s got for onboard air.

Bro can you do a radiator replacement tutorial at some point for the Landcruiser?

[@chowcares]

I actually replaced my radiator before I started this channel. It’s pretty straight forward I’m sure you’ll figure it out. If I break the radiator in the car again I’ll make a vid for sure
