help with air comopressor

... and how do you keep the mud and dirt out of the fitting????

(sorry for the mini hijack Don!)

Depending on the fitting used you can fit a rubber chair foot over the fitting which I've done for about ten years with great success.

Forget about exposed fittings and just carry 6 metres or so of hose.

Personally I'm happy with my Max Air in the bag ... hook it up when the need arises.

Cheers

not sure if this is relevant but had arb compressor running diff locls on 80 i had and just connected hose supplied which reached front and rear tyres and rearair bags(just) and when hose not in use stored in between battery and headlight on passenger side-need to roll up reasonably tight and it fits

Don,
I use MaxAir mounted in cargo bay on drawer system above left wheel arch.
I run 2 hoses: one goes to back of cargo drawer so when I open the small back door (GU Patrol) the Ryco snap fitting is right there for me to connect to. The other hose is a small diameter plastic hose which uses push-on fittings. It goes along to the front of the vehicle under the kick panels, through the fire wall, through the engine bay to the bullbar. I have a ARB bar and I've drilled a hole in the upright so that the Ryco fitting sits at right angles to the bar. Even so, I've put a plastic drink bottle cap over the opening just to be safe......but I've only done this recently; never had any trouble with it before though.
