I would like to upgrade my 2005 LR3 HSE with an on board air compressor capable of airing tires and operating a jack and an air wrench for tire removal and installation.

Can anyone recommend a brand and model of air compressor and comment on the location of your installation?

Thank you.

 

Do you have rear Climate Control?

 

Yes, our LR3 has rear climate control (and 3rd row seating). For a ham radio antenna installation we had to go to our 3rd choice location (near the fuel filler). These LR3s are packed. That is why I am seeking experienced advice.

 

Yeah...sorry. I have an air compressor mounted in the little cubby on the driver's side in the boot. I believe if you have 2nd row CC there are some refrigerant lines that go through there or something....I have a 5 seater with no rear CC.

 

Alas. I appreciate your help. I was hopeful that one of the Warn winch/compressor combinations would fit into the ARB LR3 bumper, but no such luck, so I am looking at other on board air options. Hopefully someone has a solution for a 7-passenger LR3 HSE with the rear climate control.

 

Do you have a 2nd battery? Plenty of room on the driver's side in the engine compartment to mount one.

 

I do not have a second battery. I will check that out in the daylight. Thanks for the suggestion.

 

...great idea, Mack. EAS you'll be happy. Easy wire run too!

 

If he's got / adding a winch he might want a 2nd battery though. I just throw a Viar in the boot when I need it compressor. I ran two power runs to the back with hookups, for the Ham, compressor, fridge, etc. Just kicking out more ideas..

I did not see enough room for the VIAIR tank, only for the compressor. The tank seems to be the problem.
