Default Portable Air Setup

After looking through all my options, I decided I wanted a portable air setup that could be tossed in the back when needed. I didn't find anything I liked off the shelf, so I built the setup below using two Viair 444c compressors and a 5gal tank. Used it the first time this weekend and it was awesome. Just a little show and tell for someone that might be looking for another alternative for air.

Very nice! Looks factory made.

I installed some #4 wire and a plug (circuit breaker at ther battery) to run mine so I wouldn't have to pop the hood. It's handy for an inverter or other accessories, too.

Thanks guys. Ronjenx how did you route the cable, might be something for me to look in to?

It's routed through a hole by the cowl, down to the door sill and under the plastic sill cover, up by the rear door striker, over the wheel well to where you see it in the picture.
