Review on πŸ’¨ High-Performance Onboard Air Kit by VIAIR by Michael Adams

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great DIY kit, needs a few more components to be perfect

I installed this on my 2007 FJ Cruiser as shown in the photos. I believe the full install took about 6.5 hours with all the brackets made. Without access to a good store it would be much more difficult. That works great. I would highly recommend this to someone with good DIY experience and access to a decent shop/tool. I made a few modifications along the way to get exactly what I wanted: 1. bought an extra quick disconnect kit to have one on both ends of the hose2. removed the sensor and switch from their mounting plate and cut holes in the fairing instead (pictured) 3. had to get an extra wire to connect the switch in the cab while the compressor is in the rear4. made all the brackets for the tank and compressor to fit under the truck in the frame.5. I used my own wire connectors and heat shrinked most of the connections.6. I also bought a tire inflator with a digital gauge.7. Place the air vent on the side of the rear bumper and make a cover to keep out dust and debris. I'm still not sure about mounting the compressor under the truck like this, but the hose from the compressor is pretty short. and they provided a vent that goes into the cockpit so it doesn't suck in water.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • weak
