More close up pics. That hose set up is a little confusing from that angle. I have been wanting to do this for a long time in my Jeep too. I just am not convinced that my defrosters will still work good after I take the AC pump away from that.

Defrosters will still work old school style..I know of some people having problems with the compressor getting hot and not working at the end of a run when they wanted to air up to go home.

So this essentially kills off your A/C into the cabin? I'm new to this, but where I live it gets about 110 degrees in the summer. Don't get me wrong, I think it is a very cool setup, but wouldn't the price of a "heavy duty" compressor ($40.00) be more or less equal to the time and money spent on this setup? Is the A/C switch your power switch? I saw some safety valves and stuff, how much air can your tanks hold? How long does it take to fill the tank from empty with the A/C setup? I apologize for my stupid questions/comments, but the Jeepers in my part of the world think they are high and mighty (Wrangler dudes), so this is where I turn to for advice.

k so ill answer your questions best i can...yes, yeah there is a way to get another one next to the original, just have to shuffle you battery around somewhere, well it depends. if you have no AC pump then yes but if you do then no, and are will to change it. nno youll need a pressure switch, that youll tie into the wires to the AC pump, so when you turn on the switch it will power the pump and turn it off automatically, so there is no over pressuring or continuious runnin. i think its a 2-3 gallon tank i found lying around that had a bad motor or somthing. it takes less then 20secs. to fill from 0 to 120psi. but no problem with the questons. just glad to help. any others....ask away.
