it's not just the sliver hose, that's just for air up. there's also an electrical connector for power as well as a blue tube i assume is for air down. i suppose you could try it but at that point i'd personally just use a portable setup. seems like the worst of both worlds (added complexity &...

I didnt look for a part number on the compressor. some other threads identify the manufacturer as NSV but maybe NSV only makes the controller.

yeah there are 6 pins but do more than 3 of them have wires attached? diagram only shows wires on pins 3, 5, and 6.

I dont have the switch to check but since its not in the wiring diagram i would guess the other 3 pins are unused. And yeah agree it looks like its just passing ground to the prb ecu.

That's the fiberglass debris that gets thrown around from drilling into the bed. Wipes right off.

The red hose reaches all wheels just fine but only fills one tire at a time. I already had a quad hose setup (morrflate quad) I was using with my old compressor that fills all the tires at the same time without having to go around and switch them from tire to tire. The morrflate is the green...

Ahhh that would make sense! Looks like the same connector they give you too. I think you're onto something

One way to find out.

Cool thread thanks everyone for sharing. Learned about alu-cab and fas-top here and leaning towards the latter.

Interesting, will have to dig more into where the scene lighting ties in. Also, what could that connector be.....

If you don't have the drivers side cubby with the USB and 12V chargers in it, you likely don't have the connector to make this plug and play.

Bonus one, I took some pics of the unit from underneath the truck and noticed yet another spare mystery connector up there near the top of the bed.... Any guesses what that could be for? Perhaps for the Trailhunter Scene Lights (do i smell another retrofit coming soon???)?

I've seen various threads discussing retrofitting the OEM Trailhunter air compressor to other Taco trim packages but nothing conclusive. I just wanted to give a quick post to verify firsthand that it is in fact possible and to give a quick DIY, even though installation is pretty easy. Ordered...

Not sure if it's been answered already firsthand but just want to confirm that I did this retrofit on my TRD offroad this past weekend and it works great. Totally plug and play, you just need to cut your bed to fit the compressor. Here's a link to DIY thread...

Thanks again for the detailed pics! Seems pretty clear that the wiring you have is coming down through one of the floor grommets near the front door and on my OR, there's nothing coming through that grommet.... Which means I'm going to need to run wires to try this. That slows things down a...
