I love pushing creativity on projects like this. This maxi trac air compressor is pretty impressive in stock form. But like most 12 volt offroad compressors, these have some room for upgrades.
Today, I want to push this compressor even further with more budget friendly mods that you can do with basic hand tools!

![Cleanest Pressure Switch Mod [Maxi Trac Compressor Review]](/img/n.gif)
I strongly recommend you put a inline fuse or breaker on that connection coming off your bus. high amp breakers are cheap, resettable, and above all the safety factor! love the videos keep up the awesome builds.
This is exactly the kind of thing I think we all want to see. Clever little mods that get the most out of some of our everyday gear. Brilliant episodes. Can’t wait for part 3
Great video as always mate. I’d love to see this compressor tested side by side with a standard one for speed on inflating a set of tyres from x pressure to y pressure to see how much difference its all made.
I don't claim to be an expert, just basing this on past experience. I've had numerous job site compressors with a similar 90 deg short copper outlet from the "Head" like you have. All of them failed at one point from vibration cracking the pipe at the fitting. If possible adding a single coil in the line adds enough flex to make the connection less rigid and less prone to breakage. Alternatively having pre-cut extra pieces in your kit would allow for a quick change on the trail if needed.
I like the Anderson connectors I use them for jumping customers for my business great idea for the compressor so you don't need to open the hood
As far as the reeds go, I've seen the Aussies use their feeler gauges cut down to fix or upgrade.
Always inspiring! I have no need to upgrade my compressor but definitely want to get out and work on the rig.
This is awesome! I'll hold off on modding mine until yours gets some mileage on it, but these mods look fantastic! Thank you for not just doing all of this off camera.
excellent video, I'm glad you mentioned making sure to take extra precautions with insulation when installing the Anderson connection wires. That's not something that a lot of people mention when doing something like that, even though it seems like it should be common knowledge!
Absolutely love this series. It may be my favorite of all your video series. So good!
Love this! Those connectors are great. They have smaller ones that are single pole but can connect together. So you can make a color coded plug
always be sure to fuse leads coming off the battery! OEM always have fusible links, or fuses, aftermarket is no different. triple insulating isn't a good replacement for proper fusing practices.
This series is awesome! Those Anderson fittings would be awesome for a bunch of stuff.
A lot of auto AC compressors (like a York) use reed valves, I'm sure the local wrecking yards are full of them.
Love the mindset and creative thoughts along with the can do and this is how. Thanks
Good job! I like the Anderson connectors, I have one connected to my truck battery which is handy to connect jumper cables to jump someone's vehicle, without having to pop the hood on my 4x4 F350. Plus you can do all the things you talked about connect an inverter easily or other 12V accessories.
I love Anderson connectors. I have them on the front, rear and interior of my Rubicon. You might investigate two stroke outboard motors for reeds.
Dude, this series is sick. I always wanted to see Anderson connectors utilized outside the warehouse. You just confirmed my theory. Opened up a whole lot of possibilities. Thanks bro I appreciate you.
Love the Anderson connector added under the hood. I think I’m gonna do the same thing to my Colorado and do a similar setup just to make airing up easier.
For the reeds you can use feeler gauge I used them to repair a small outboard motor. 👍 Worked great. or go to a motor cycle shop and see what they have. Great project. 😁👍
