This is a really strong compressor w/ several nice built in features!

The same ebay guy has this one for trucks is it a good price $79.00 ?. What did you pay for yours this one has different model # but looks the sameas yours.Let me know how install goes.link mf-1050 masterflow compressor

Found yours here. is there a difference they also have the masterflow.They look the same.



link superflow mv50

the Super Flow and the Master Flow are one in the same!
I beleive that is the same price I paid!
"awsumfn", that's the ebay seller I bought mine from. I've bought 2 of them.
Get it!

Im waiting to pick it up till someone installs one I want to make sure it will fit.
List some pics when you do install.
I was looking around to see were to install the airhose.
I found a hole in the inner fenderwell to the right of that open hole of front bumper drivers side.
Another posible location is in one of the holes on the lower grill probobly center and use a black female conector.

This way you dont have to go under truck.

The ebay guy just emailed me back the mv50 was replaced by the mf1050 .Thats the one ill get.

are you planning on mounting a portable air compressor to the H3?

Similar to what the H2's have?

There are many places you could install the hose coupling, I like it in a more central location, easier access to all four tires! I found the frame rail works well!
I still need to find the time to get it done.
SOON, VERY SOON!

Couldn't you split the hose to feed both the front and the back?

Mark you have been here long enough to check page 1 and page 2 before asking about page 3 .

Yes I would prefer to mount the compressor .I dont want to store it and fill up one of my compartments. And you should always carry a compressor with you It does no good sitting at home and taking it out just when you go wheeling.

Also installed is cool

yeah yeah... i know... just got lazy! I'll monitor the thread to see the pics when they are up!

I was actually looking at Viair compressors. they have both flavors. Portable and once you mount on the vehicle. Obvously the ones you hard mount need a seperate tank to hold the air. But if you can find a place to mount the portable one that would work great!

Yeah I do the same thing Just jokin.

I beleve the viair compressors are pricy. The masterflow mf 1050 for $79.00 should be all I need.a couple bucks for a switch couple more for a remote hose ,some wire, a fuse ,a quick disconect and some bolts and nuts it should come to a total of about $100.00 or so. At the beach they supply air and most light offroading theres no need to air down.

The super flow already has an in-line fuse and plenty of wire. so that will cut your cost by about $4.50
I went to a local hose supplier (house of hose)
and spent about $16.00 for a 6' length of hose, a male and female coupling and I'm in business.
Now I just need to find time to install it all!
SOON, VERY SOON!

It's all a matter of personal preferance.
you could run a line to each tire if you wanted to!

I'm not sure yet, probably in a safe, central location that is easily accessable!
I did this install on my last 4x4, worked out great!

That's one nice feature w/ the Super Flow, you don't need an air tank. works great without one.

Im Going to buy it now with that ebay guy this weekend.By the time I get it you will have it all done(hopefully, with me I spend more time thinking about it than it takes to do it) Than I can copy your install.

jp's-h3
I forgot im going away next week I wont be back till feb 27th so ill order the compressor then so someones here to receive it. That gives you some time to figure out the install and make it easy for me . Thanks

Have a great trip!
I'm sure that I can get it done by then.

I did a buy it now this morning on the MF-1050 the guy had another listing that ended sooner and it was $74.99 instead of $79.99 and shipping was about a buck less.
If it comes in when im away my mother in law will get it shes taking care of the dog.


compressor I bought

That's the one!
Identicle to the MV-5O. Not sure why they changed the model #.
I'm sure that you will be very satisfied w/ this compressor!
I'm hoping to get the install w/ pics done around feb. 23-28. a buddy of mine borrowed my digital camera while on vacation in mexico, he will be back on feb. 22
SOON, VERY SOON!

For the money it looks great and will work excellent for my needs having it permently mounted is great.My cheap plastic one I had for several years took 5 miniutes to fill up bike tire the other day and was straining .It was time to be replaced.

This compressor will fill a bike tire with-in a matter of seconds.
I use my compressor to fill up more of my daughters inflatable toys and bicycle tires, than I do to fill up my tires after off-roading!
very handy, especially when hard mounted.

Yeh cant wait to get it and install . A inexpensive addition to the H3,that will be very usefull over the next few years.

I dont know why it wasent designed in at the factory.My brothers VW suv has one and it works well.Those germans know how to engineer cars and trucks.

I would imagine that the VW compressor is used more for filling up the little one's inflatables.
I can't see a VW doing Hell's Revenge in Moab!

Here's a link to another air compressor available. I figure, if it last for a good year of wheeling, I'm ahead of the game. Why put good money into something that is going to get full pf mud, and soaked beyond belief. I'm sure the hoses and fittings will outlast the compressor!
IMO!

Good Cheap Compressor

That one looks good too.I like the chrome shinny it would look good under the hood . Im not doing any chrome on the outside except the grill .Harbor freight is great I use them all the time.I already bought the masterflow.

Moved mounting brackets to mount laying on the side, they fit perfect!
I noticed that this compressor that I have is a Master Flow MF-1050. My first one was a Super Flow MV-50 (exactly the same).
I'm getting all of the parts gathered for the installation, I will prabably do it next week.
I'll keep you posted!

Just to let you know I removed fuse box top the other day it was cold and 2 clips broke.Be carefull removing in the cold .If not covered by warranty (probobly not) it will be around $30.00 .Your wing nut idea is probobly better than trying to remove with compressor attached when its cold.
I will get a relacment next week.Cant wait for install advice and pics My mf-1050 left Ca yesturday should be in by the time I get back.Looks like install next weekend .I hope I dont need it this weekend.

any install pics yet?

Cold and plastic do not go well together!
I tried taking the plastic cover off the rail system to put my rack on and, the cover broke.
It was covered by warranty though, I guess i'll use a blow dryer to warm things up! Thanks!

Cool Deal!

jp's-h3 I was thinking a little silicone in the mounting bolt holes and under washers,Are you using 1 inch washers?
Also a cheap $1.00 store Plastic hair cover would be good to put over it when off roading.

Silicone, hair bag?
Great Idea's!

Just a little advice!
when you go to your local hose supplier, make sure that they take the hose coupling on the coil air hose, cut it off and re-install it on the length of air hose you purchase.
Then have them install a new female coupling to the coil air hose and, a male to the other end of the new length of hose you are purchasing.
This is the way I had them do it at Evco, here in Salt Lake, because they did not carry the same type of coupling's that are on the Master Flow air compressor and coil air hose.
(If your local hose supplier does carry these particular type of fittings then you can ignore what I just wrote!)

jp's-h3

Just received compressor in the mail today.Nice compressor!.
It looks like I should remove male fitting on compressor and replace with standard fitting also adapt hose end to standard fitting to use supplyed hose.(I have a 25 foot one I use at the beach also )Let me know how long of a hose needed to relocate under body and mounting bracket type/style?,pics of location ect.
Ill wait to install to see how you made out also list mounting bolt sizes ect.
Thanks in advance.

This thread may be dead granted but in case someone else decides to go with an air compressor, the link below seems to have some pretty fair prices and some quality stuff. I picked up my strap and shackles from these guys and they knocked some off the price just for the hell of it. And as I mentioned before, they don't carry crappy products. I still prefer my powertank, but than again I'm no player hater.

Seem's that these guy's prices are comparable to everyone else's prices out there!

My brother just told me he can get the type fittings that are on the compressor, He also has straight hard hose for relocating .He works at fed ex on the big rigs and use that type of hose all the time so he can make them up for me...freebee!.
jp's-h3 were are you relocating fittings to I looked under mid section of truck and Im not sure were to put it.I probobly work on it this weekend or next if the weather is good.Let me know how your comming along .
