Extreme Flow-belt driven air compressor

[mcsinfl]

I saw this bolt on compressor in the latest Diesel Power, and I'm interested... has anyone used one or know anything they can tell me about this? To me it seems to be the way to go if you want air, and it's reasonably priced

What is the combined cost of the compressor and required mounting bracket?

It's nothing fancy. The Pump is a Sandon 709, to use it as a air pump you need to oil the incoming air with a standard oiler for air systems. install it in the intake to lube the pump and use a dryer at the exit, to clean out the air.

Is that what they are doing?

The website lists the compressor at $399, I'm assuming the mounting bracket will be included, specific to the vehicle. I didn't follow up, but I'm assuming the purchaser has to buy the rest of the parts for their application (i. e. air lines, tank, etc. ). They say it will maintain 8 CFM at 100 psi.

I think the bracket is sold separately: http://www.extremeoutback.com/index.cgi?cart_id=8651733.1740&pid=117

Please don't tell me they want $800 for just the bracket!!!:{ #@$%!

At $800+$399 for just the mounted compressor, you might as well go with the Kilby kit and get all the accessories.

I've seen the kilby on other compressor threads. Looks like a good unit. I was considering this at one time:

I think I'm going to call Extreme Outback tomorrow and find out about this bracket and what comes with it for the money. It wouldn't seem too hard to fab a bracket and piece together the rest of a system for cheap. I just can't see spending double the cost of the compressor on a bracket. I must be missing something

mcsinfl, I was wondering what you were able to find out.

i've been mulling over building my own air system but it'll be a while before i have time to play with it, shouldn't be a huge deal just time consuming
