We take the compartment cover completely off whenever the compressor is on, but no problems at all with the carpet or compressor getting too hot.

I've got the same compressor. I can fill my 33" from 14-30psi in 3:30. I'm just looking for a place to permanently mount it.

Here is RubyDoo's system. It used a 2.5 gallon tank and an ARB tire filling compressor and also one of the red comoressors that i already had before getting the 35's. They due a 35 from 10 to 32 in about 2 mins and between going from one side to the other, both shut off.

There are some nice setups in this thread. Glad to see that. And as an update to a post I made awhile back I am still working on a mounting kit for the JK's to facilitate mounting a system. I am actually going to be meeting with Woods from Jeep Swag on Monday to go over some design stuff and see if we can get this project moving along. Also on the issue of air tools - most of my OBA's will run air tools, some better than others. And whether you utilize my pumps or somebody elses the thing that you want to be most concerned about if you want to run air tools is the CFM of the compressor. The max working pressure (i.e. 150PSI or 200PSI) is not going to be that critical since you would want to regulate the pressure down to typically 90 PSI. The reason to be concerned wit CFM is that what is going to produce the power for the given air tool. With that being said your best bet is always going to be a dual compressor set up if you want to get the most performance out of say a 1/2 inch impact. The tank size is of minimal importance in regard to running air tools. This is because (as with all compressors) the moment that the compressor kicks on, the tank is no longer in the equation. All the tank is going to do is give you a little bit of cushion during initial tool usage. In regard to duty cycle (and I dont mean to step on anyones post here so I apologize) a 33% duty cycle compressor will always be your best choice for an all around unit. This is because a lower duty cycle unit is always going to be faster that a 100% duty cycle unit in the same class. This will give you faster refresh rates on tank fills, quicker air up times and a higher CFM rating. And the other thing to remember is that duty cycle is always calculated at a specific PSI (typically 100 PSI) and based on a specific ambient temperature ( 72 degrees farenheit is the norm) the temperature is always going to provide the optimum condition for compressor performance and as with air tools requiring a maximum of 90 PSI in most situations this will give you better performance than the rated CFM would be at 100PSI. I'm getting writers cramp so I am going to end this but if anybody has any questions feel free to PM me.

The compressor is located in the right quarter panel behind the taillight. It was a very tight fit, but works great.

Nice setup, I really like the location of the compressor. I have a 2dr and have been looking for a "out of the way" place like this
