Heya, I hav a 2hp air compressor that I wana fit in my Sierra, Want33's has the set up I wana do but how did you do it? Do I need an inverter, what size ect? Im sure he had a 2hp or 2.5hp compressor mounted in the tray???

Cheers, Islandvit

You dont want to mount the 2hp in the zook.

A few have used the airtank and bits not inc the motor of it and then used a endless air setup of the motor like mine and others to fill it up.

Sounds like a better idea! How did u set it up? Briefly?

Mines using the original G16B air conditioning compressor and hooked a inlet filter and also outlet fittings and using it like this.

not the most ideal but works well for me. i oil it every time i use it.

I have got a tank,fittings, manifold to use also but have not had the time and effort to hook them up yet.

islandvit, same principle can be used on the 1.3. smileysmoke has got it on his 1.3 with an air manifold also.

we def need to pull our fingers out and mount the tanks for them. but yeh manifold. compressor. fittings.. relief valve just to be safe (if using a tank)
inline oiler is handy but not neccesary
