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?

jp's-h3 02-15-2006 06:10 PM

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!

HummerNewbie 02-15-2006 06:59 PM

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

jp's-h3 02-17-2006 06:27 PM

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

fourfourto 02-18-2006 08:55 PM
