Anyone have a preference on air compressors? I can't justify the high end compressors (200 bucks). I'm looking for something in the middle of the range (less than 75 bucks).
Instead of lengthening the cord I tossed the junky hose that came with it. Then I put a standard air fitting where the original hose came out of the compressor. So I now carry a 25' length of regular air hose with me.TrapperMike said:11 for what Squatch said.
That is the compressor I have. It airs up fast compared to the dime store compressors and runs a lot quieter. I have yet to make the mods to it. One mod for sure on a full size truck is to make the electrical cord longer. It is hard to reach the drivers side rear tire on my full size truck without kinking the hose. The hose is rather cheap, so kinking it will really shorten the lifespan.
Please, please change your priorities!Anyone have a preference on air compressors? I can't justify the high end compressors (200 bucks). I'm looking for something in the middle of the range (less than 75 bucks).
I've been thinking about doing this for my F-350 camper build but I am wondering how well it can survive bolted to the frame...I mean it is subject to water, mud etc.Stalking Light said:I've had a variety of compressors over the years and burnt out a few. I finally had a Viar 450P which worked very well and then when I put air lockers on my Tacoma I added an ARB high capacity on board unit. If it's an option I'd recommend going on board, much handier to use and you don't have to worry about where to carry it.
Mine's mounted up under the hood close to the battery and then I have a quick connect in the fender well so I don't have to raise the hood to use it. It's been OK so far and has seen a lot of rain but not much mud.smlobx said:I've been thinking about doing this for my F-350 camper build but I am wondering how well it can survive bolted to the frame...I mean it is subject to water, mud etc.
Any comments?
