.Ok...I have access to some really nice air ride seats from a big rig...are these feasible?
They should fit.
At least in a M936, they fit just fine.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!

Yeah I was actually thinking about adding another tank or 2 for some serious volume to use air tools on the road if need be. My wife is excited about the thought of an air ride passenger seat!.
That sound great!
You can plumb them into the air system pretty easily too.

Nice! I've got the snap on 1/2" cordless...so let me give you the total plan for this deuce...it's going to be a bug out rig/tiny home, I was going to fit in a high output small electric compressor as well, tied right in, so I can still get an air supply without constant running of the engine....I was worried about the engine compressor keeping up with the demand..
That's interesting. I added two air tanks to my M936 with the same intent. More air so it wouldn't work the compressor as much... The disadvantage is that it takes a lot longer to "build air" after you run a big 3/4 inch impact on it. It also takes longer to just crank up the truck with all the extra air capacity.
I eventually bought myself a half inch Old Milwaukee impact. I don't remember the torque in foot pounds, but it will bust a nut on a wheel in minutes. I saw a YouTube video showing a set of 18 wheels removed and replaced on a single charge... It comes in a nice carrying case too.

Glad to hear that the wife is excited about an Air Ride seat on her side of the truck! That bench seat will flat out beat you to death on rough ground. And it isn't all that grand on smooth pavement either... It's great that she's excited about the truck. Nothing like a happy wife!

Oh man, where can I find the write up? I'll definitely post progress pics! I've looked at those units a few times....so tempting...but space...I do plan on a trailer in the future...Expedient Refueling System ExtremeAir Reciprocating 24V Extreme OutbackView attachment 915508
This is a good deal on this. No idea about the seller though?
@Valence did an excellent write up on his install that you need to check out and he needs to give us an update as well![]()
Found it! If IRCC he did an excellent job of hiding most of the components in otherwise “unusable” space.Oh man, where can I find the write up? I'll definitely post progress pics! I've looked at those units a few times....so tempting...but space...I do plan on a trailer in the future...

The full seat may be a bit optimistic for the Deuce cabin size but if it fits, your posterior will thank you. I used a civilian air ride base with a military seat (Humvee) on top of it.Ok...I have access to some really nice air ride seats from a big rig...are these feasible?
Thanks Jbulach! Sorry for my delay getting back here. Without digging through history, if I recall I paid _significantly_ less than those units are selling for now. However, that is still less than the cost of buying even just 1 new from ExtremeOutback. So saving ~$500 off the get-go is nothing to blink at. The downside of those "Expedient Refueling Systems" is that the air compressers are an older design with a weaker head. I cracked one of the heads by slightly over tightening the output fitting so that added a LOT to my cost though. The surplus ones also use a "wet" air filter (not great if you live in a dusty or maybe a very humid climate). The new air compressors come with a better pre-fiilter system that you unfortunately can't just adapt for the older ones.Expedient Refueling System ExtremeAir Reciprocating 24V Extreme OutbackView attachment 915508
