PW vs Prospector xl

[olyelr]

Ive always liked this pic. Kinda puts the difference between the regular prospector and the xl version into perspective...





The crazy thing is the xl’s are not lifted anymore than the regular ones. Still just 3” up front and 2” out back.

Holy hell. Since you are actually being serious (I honestly thought you were joking), heres a few of their hd offerings...

I got to see the Prospector run over **** at Power Wagons in Moab this year. That truck is sweet, but that front bumper, I mean come on, that thing needs to be redesigned. I did like the truck overall, but Ill stick with my 2015 Tradesman Power Wagon.

Because it’s an old design?

Because it is ugly, obtrusive, and huge!

I have to disagree. It is large for sure but i do like the looks.

 

[lakerhater4]

Agree to disagree. It's one hell of a rig no matter what the opinion of the bumper.[emoji106]

Agreed

What kind of air compressor is installed on that? Where and how is it mounted? I like the idea of having it plumbed to the bed.

Its an ARB Twin air compressor, installed under the truck. There is a big recess between the fuel tank and the DEF tank where the compressor fits perfectly.

Can that compressor get wet? I’m sure it can but does it effect it at all?

 

[3TV]

It can get wet, but I wouldn't try to run it under water, or in direct water spray. That area was actually well protected from water spray, and I had no problems with the compressor in the two years I owned the truck.

You can always attach a 50 Cal ammo can under the rear of the bed right behind the cab and install the compressor inside it there. Then do a custom o ring seal on the can so it doesn't get water in it. Great protection for mud also.

Whenever you need to run it just pop the can open for airflow. You can still plumb it through the bed if you want or put the chuck connection in the rear bumper next to the license plate. This is my plan, hopeful this year. I think you could also do the driver side as well if you wanted two compressors and can do simultaneous filling. I've also looked at VIAR, but I don't think the profile fits in the ammo can, I haven't checked sizing specs on it though to be certain.

I get the compressor can be water proofed. Might consider something like what you mentioned for my set up. Just wondering how that compressor faired being exposed the way it was.

 

[pwjouster]

they sell or you can fab an intake air source relocation to plumb a filtered air intake in the engine bay, into the air intake or into the bed itself. I wouldnt subject the compressor itself to salty roads, but its perfectly suitable under the truck.
