Hi,
I recently picked up a Morrflate setup for airing up/down. I've got their 4 wheel hose, their new Air Hub, and the FiveSix portable compressor. I really, really like this set up. It's super fast and easy to air up/down. This is my first vehicle without onboard air. I prefer it to the onboard ARB compressors I've had in the past.
One thing that I learned very quickly however is that when you pop the hood to hook up the compressor, you immediately have folks stopping to check on you thinking that you've got mechanical problems with the truck. I was thinking it would be pretty slick (and actually more convenient) to power the compressor from the rear NATO plug.
In my ideal scenario, I'd cut the gator clamps off the compressor and add some kind of connector that allows me to either use the gator camps or a nato plug with a pigtail coming off of it. It seems like that should be doable, but I'm honestly out of my depth when it comes to 12V wiring that can support 70+ peak amps (40 continuous) and have no idea what connectors I need to make that happen. I've got plenty of experience with Anderson plugs for much lower amp applications and wiring up "normal" vehicle stuff like lights and ham radios. Can anybody point me in the right direction as to what I need to make this happen? Thanks!
