Pimpin' ain't easy

 

Word

 

I’m trying!

 

I had a Viair 85P air compressor for 12 years. At 15A, the compressor blew the 12V outlet fuses in my previous truck and in the Subaru. The plug also got hot enough to anneal the spring behind the positive electrode, causing a bad connection. I finally got around to converting it from 12V outlet plug to alligator clamps, and extended the cord by 5m, effectively converting it to a Viair 88P. Now I can carry it in the 4Runner.



Materials list:
MotoMaster P/N 011-2036-8 50A battery clamps
Southwire P/N 47174805 14/2 NMD90 5m wire (solid core isn't optimal, but it's cheap)
Powerfist P/N 8553448 12 AWG mini fuse holder
Powerfist P/N 8827289 14-16 AWG heat shrink butt connectors
20A mini fuse as part of Littelfuse P/N 094462 kit

For anyone new at this, avoid the Viair 85P as an emergency roadside compressor.

 

Wonder if I bent the rim

 

check you pockets anything missing might be inside

 

Is that the same rim you bent last year?

 

Yea, didn’t realize it was this bad till I rotated it to the front.

Haha, I could've just given you the alligator clamps and wiring from mine.

You have a wheel balancer too?

 

I just work in a tire shop, did it while it was slow

 

You should get a wheel balancer

 

Keep it off road and you won't even notice.
