I’m going back and watching basically all your videos, thank you for teaching many things I’ve been lacking. My father was a wonderful, honorable, intelligent man who taught me so much but he was not the handiest man! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
On my jeep, that has the ARB Twin, 5psi rock crawling. 10psi for dirt/rocky roads. But I also run KMC beadlocks. I also run that deflator. I recommend the ARB tire repair kit. Comes with everything to fix a tire. I just put the ARB Twin in the bed sidewall of my 2020 F350. Using an upfitter switch in the cab. Using it primarily for the Airlift bags but also tires for the fifth wheel and truck. The fifth wheel hitch is a Reese Goosebox which has an airbag so it is used for that also. OBA is truly invaluable.
Everytime I watched your video, I remembered my late Dad. He always shows and tell when I watch him work on things. Thank you Cody, and bless you and your family.
Being a professional weekend overlander lol I love dual alternators, dual batteries and on board air systems. Keep up the good work and you can never be over prepared for the unprepared.
I had the same issue. I used an T valve at the compressor with a hose run to the rear bump and the same quick release head drilling into the bumper (flush). This also gives you access to air without having to life the hood all the time. Add a power switch back there or on the dash and you are laughing. Great videos Cody the video quality is amazing.
Cody thank you for being a honest blue collar Christian man and helping us younger generation with poor role models with tips and tricks for being a man a father and a good man. Thank you so much..
I listen to your stories and I relate on how hard it is in the younger years and (I'm 42 now) then it gets a bit easier if you worked and saved hard enough. When you look at your tools you remember so many stories of how and why you got each of them.
You could use that "T" fitting and run a air line to the back of the truck like near the license plate and have 2nd hook up option. Then the short "metric" 😉 hose won't be an issue. Also on a 3/4 ton or heavier truck i don't go lower then 25psi for 2 reasons. 1. Those front ends are heavy especially if its a diesel, don't want to roll the bead off. And 2. I don't want to overly stress the side walls by flexing "to much" to cause a potential blow out some time down the line.
Good points I wore out the front end of my gmc 1 ton crew long bed (what a boat) about every 3 years probably sooner but I'm pretty much s@@@ on doing proper maintenance.
This is just to get you out of a mess, you don't ever want to drive around at highway speed aired down. Some of those big load range E tires need to be in the 60psi range on the road at speed, and will overheat and explode or shred even at 30-40psi. With onboard air you have no excuse. The magic number for traction seems to be around 15psi with decent width tires on stock width rims (I have 35x12.5 on factory hummer rims on my dodge and that works fine even with the 1100lbs of cummins in the nose). If you have wider rims you'll have to keep the pressure up a little higher to keep from popping a bead.
I have a small portable 12 volt air pump so don't need this set up and carry a small tire plug kit as well as valves/wrench and caps, plus a full size spare ... but it was worth the watch when Cody paused, then admired his "Duel Alternators" ... like many, it's become my "smile" for the day, or week .... and I appreciate that he gets that we enjoy the dig also ! .... I just rigged/hard wired the Jeep and lawn tractor with the NOCO lithium power pack and Genius charger with "quick connects" ... tired of those expensive lead cell jumper packs that only last a year or two .... I like the "plug and play" aspect of hard wired system (but have noticed the quick connect plug pins are a bit fragile and need to be carefully lined up first or they'll deflect inside) .... Hey, Cody, maybe you could do a video on battery "do's and don't's" and types, and proper maintenance, especially for winter ? .... and maybe a short segment on the importance of negative grounds .... with all the electronics, sensors and computers on modern vehicles they become even more important to keep your charging system and batteries functioning at peak performance .... as a reference Bosch has some excellent publications on charging, battery and ground systems and what happens when they're not working 100% ... engine and body grounds as well (important on older vehicles and/or those in the rust belt)
hey Cody, I've been following this channel for years. it is fun, interesting and educational. thanks for sharing your stories and having an open heart and mind. greetings from the Netherlands.
It’s very apparent that you have been putting a lot of thought and practice into your camera work, it’s always been good but you are producing really exceptionally shot and edited content. Great job wranglestar, thanks for the inspiration.
For the budget version of this, I recommend the Stanley FatMax 750 jump pack with built in air compressor. Thing inflates and deflates very fast for what it is, it's durable, and it will jumpstart even dead batteries. The bonus is the built in USBs will charge my phone faster than any other charger I've had.
that truck bumper gives me the fizz, I remember when I was a kid my dad had a powdercoated ARB bumper on this 80 series land crusier, I always thought that was the coolest thing ever
I'd highly recommend you run the air line from the compressor to an air manifold or use a stainless steel braided line to remote mount the chuck. The compressor and the air coming out of compressor can and will get very very hot. That ARB hose is great but I've had two of them fail when connected directly to the compressor. The issue is amplified when airing up to higher pressures above 60 psi like you have on a truck and trailer. I've had better luck with remote mounting the chuck. I also use flexzilla now instead of the ARB hose.
Thank you for all you do!! I love the revolution snuck in there at the end!! Hahaha!! Shoulder to shoulder. God bless to you and your family! You are in our prayers.

I purchased a used ARB single stage compressor and installed it in my 2016 Jeep before we went to Moab for the 2019 East Jeep Safari. It's a game change. Easy in inflate when you get back to paved roads. We were in Maine recently for a Jeep Jamboree and one of the other Jeeps didn't have a compressor, so we double teamed him- I aired up his rear tires while another Jeep aired up his fronts. The standard hose is perfect for a 4 door Jeep Wrangler, but I'm sure a little short for the Professional Home Owners F350 with dual alternators/batteries. One tradeoff for the semi-professional home owner in a Jeep Wrangler with one alternator/battery, I have to keep my Jeep running while using the compressor. Those valve stem cores are a pain, I've had to buy a second pack of them at the car parts store because they don't always re-seat. Enjoy your winter. Safe Travels and God Bless!
Loved the video, and yes it’s the best upgrade you can do to your truck - I’ve done it to both of mine. I added something in addition that you might like, I bought a pressure regulator from my local hardware store and added quick connects on both ends so I can remove it easily. I set it to my nominal tire pressure, and it lets me connect my tire and walk away. If you have 37” tires, this saves you about 10 minutes. Enjoy!
@@Anthony_Harper I started on my ppl back in 1971 life got in the way at 14... still want to get it so I can enjoy the backcountry... hey STOL Drags is going on this week.
I really appreciate you doing this video Cody! I used to live in the country near two major metro-cities. I Loved living in the country as it taught me so much about self-reliance. If you weren't pro-active and didn't take care of your vehicles, let's just say it was going to be a long walk. Plus no Cell-phone service! I' have always wanted to do this air compressor installation. You have so much space under the hood. Wow I have a Subaru Forrester.. tight fit...in the engine compartment.
That’s what the T fitting and extra QD is for. So you can have one connection at the front and one at the rear. Don’t have to pack an extra long hose that way.
Good day sir. I am a 44yr old man, born and raised In Minnesota. I have been watching and enjoying your unique and inspirational channel for years now. We are similar in our beliefs and ethics. That's a fact. I am proud to compare myself to the likes of you. In the way have an eye for quality. Have a good moral compass. Mechanically inclined. Situational awareness and live and let live attitude. I want to say much more... maybe next time. For now a sincere thank you. I have been paying attention and you have helped fill in some missing links in the chain we call existence.
My experience with the Nitto Ridge Grapplers is that once they get worn with about 60-70% life left in the tire, they cake with mud. If you get into soupy conditions, they tend to loose their ability to sling the mud out and keep digging. The BFG's I've ran before will have close to the same performance as new thought the serviceable life of the tire. Just my experience! Thanks for the video.
Wow that is handy! Thinking about service life: how long will that little guy run without overheating? If you have four tires, maybe more, to re inflate from 10 psi. Maybe something to put to the test before heading out on adventure.
You can easily do 2 cars with that without it need to stop, I've done 8 tyres from 15psi to 40 in one go. Just keep the car running to keep the battery topped up.
Did some research and partly because of your videos I ordered a Ford with the 7.3l gas engine for work instead of the alternatives and haven't regretted it since. Tows a skid steer or mini excavator just fine and that's all I ask of it. It's nice to pop the hood and actually be able to see the engine.
I have the same compressor that came mounted in a toolbox including the inflation kit. I have lines pumped I to my van and power, this way I can have it in the van and ready to use. When I need it for something else I can quickly disconnect it from the van, grab the handle of toolbox, then carry it away to wherever I need it. It's a great compressor. It does get very hot while its running.
Nice truck, 😎 To those who are looking for a new or late model truck, avoid Ram trucks that have factory air ride suspension if you live where things freeze! I have a friend who ended up scrapping a 2017 Dodge Ram 2500 diesel crew cab long box because the air ride needed nearly $20,000 in repairs to make safety this year. Since purchasing that unit it has cost him more to meet safety on suspension alone than the purchase cost! There may be a fix, which is to purge the system monthly and recharge the required nitrogen gas! A 3 hr dealer job, but that becomes expensive too @$175/hr labour!
Imagine being able to afford a brand new 1 ton truck, same year as the current year, and also being able to add aftermarket mods to it before the year is out.
If you have close to two million subscribers, you are pulling in crazy money. He could buy a few of those trucks a year and not sweat it. Believe me this guy is balling out of control.
Another great video. We have installed a few systems like this. A couple things we’ve done is to put a regulator and gauge on the compressor, a couple times we put it on the hose a foot or so from the air chuck. Another setup was mount the qd on the bumper and the on/off switch inside the cab.
I seen one of those watch bands glowing. A guy stopped by to use my dad’s welder. He had broken a part on his snow plow. He struck an arc and the electrode stuck. He gave it a pull and the electrode contacted the watch band and stuck to it, the other side of the band was in contact with the frame. He was flopping around in the snow pretty wildly for a bit there. WOW a lot of yelping going on too.
You are a good start to my day - that and a large cup of coffee. Almost always learn something - whether it is something i want to to incorporate OR something I don't.
"Island off the New Zealand coast." As someone who's unfortunate enough to live in the Commonwealth I can only imagine how much that cheesed them off and only take solace in how much it delighted me. God bless America: and I'm an atheist.
Your dig at soccer was hilarious. 😂 To be fair, I spent a summer with some friends when world cup was on, and as they explained nuances more and more, I found a new appreciation for a sport I once couldn't care less about.
@@cjansson and realistically given it is an ARB kit the inflation needle is intended for either AFL or Rugby balls... or soccer balls, basketballs, netball... Australians love balls!
I was waiting for the angry responses. American football is another game of men in ladies 80”s shoulder pads chasing each other around then showering together.
I am surprised you didn’t install a small tank with a controller. If you do this you can adjust your rear bag pressure on the go. I have been running the viair constant air system with a 2 gallon tank. I installed the tank and tucked it behind my running board. This allows me to run impact tools if needed. Great video.
Thanks Cody, your metal bench gave me a great idea for being able to reach the truck roof for good cleaning and polishing and light changing. Always was struggling with that.
Speaking of knocking a tire off the bead. The old wheels on 1969 Chevy 4x4 3/4 ton were 16.5 and they didn't have a ridge to keep the tire bead seated. We had to air down to no more than 15 psi for organized 4 wheel drive runs. Well I slid into a rut and knocked the tire right off the bead. Not fun at the edge of the cliff. Those ARB compressors are nice. But all I could afford is a harbor freight kit. So far it works fine. I have used it on the trail, deer hunting and on my little ranch. Keep up the good work. And yes resist the fact B.S. No shots for me.
I put my air bag Schrader valves in the same spot on my old F250! works awesome when putting my camper on. i can back under the camper and lower it down til the truck starts to squat then i air up the air bags and the camper will lift off of the ground. My old diesel doesn't have DEF so the fuel door is smaller and its a little tighter quarters but its so much better than crawling underneath the truck!
A lot of folks will place an air connector port on both sides of a vehicle or at each end (front & rear), to avoid short hoses. Also many actually mount their compressors units and a slightly larger reservoir underneath, attached to the frame in a safe location, so as not to impair your ground clearance. ~ ~ ~ ~ "Ol' Scooter" from down in East Texas., checkin' in…and now checkin' out! Bless ya, Brother!
So many Wranglerstar nuggets in this gem. My favorite has to be the dual alternator shot and comment or the air hose being too short and blaming the metric system! 🤣🤣🤣I’m dying.
Best line of the day, "I blame the metric system." Love the content Cody. Our best to Mrs. W and the family; praying for y'all down here in the Heart of Dixie.
Hi Cody. I would like to suggest getting a male quick connect fitting and cap the threads. Connect it to the truck quick connect to keep dirt from entering the female side while not in use. Attach a small cord to this fitting so you won’t lose it in the snow or other hiding places in the engine compartment when disconnected. Cheers.
i couldnt help but chuckle at the "cody's gonna show us how to do it" bit. plenty of times i went just to find a quick tutorial and that cadence you had. hit right at home lol.
@@wobblysauce Nothing to do with the amount of sheep I was simply casting aspersions on the Kiwis choice of dates for a Saturday night, like: Q: What do you call a Kiwi with a hundred lovers? A: A shepherd.
Cody, nice one-word ending to your video, after mentioning Australia several times. There are a lot of them, us, maple-leaves, Brits, etc who are and will be standing shoulder to shoulder as needed. Keep sharing. ;)
I would cut the hose ends about 6 inches to use their adapters and use some brass barbed hose splicers to make the hose to any length that you need. I use pex crimp fittings instead of hose clamps as they will not catch on anything. easier than taking the time to order from Australia and saves some $ too. I would also move the connector out from under the hood as others have commented. I used to have the quick connect fitting just under the driver's side door mounted on the frame with a dust cover.
Hi Cody, I know you have security alarms on your building but I would not tell people that I just had a delivery of fuel. Most people are honest but it only takes one dishonest person to see your video and decide that fuel should me theirs. A great air system and the sand statement is very good.
Instead of buying a new hose, what if you plumbed in another outlet to the back of the truck, then you could reach your back tires, as well as your trailer tires or anything else you might need air in the back for? Nice install! Always great to have onboard air!!
Hey Cody, Maybe consider a dust cap for the outlet of the compressor, keep all the dust getting into it and fouling up the O-rings of the quick connects?
Thank god for men like you Cody... It seems we have a shortage of good strong moral men at the moment... and I hope my statement is wrong and they are rising up to help defend our families.
That story about your granddads expanding strap on his watch reminded me of when I was a teenager playing cricket at our local park, I threw the ball back to the wicket keeper followed closely by my watch, never had one of those straps since lol.
G'day from that "Island off of New Zealand"🇦🇺 🤣 I have seen on other 4wdrives where they run a braided hose from the air compressor to the back of the 4wd so that you don't need to run a long hose and you have a press fitting near the bumper where you have like a 8 foot hose to inflate the tyres.

Situational awareness and live and let live attitude. I want to say much more... maybe next time. For now a sincere thank you. I have been paying attention and you have helped fill in some missing links in the chain we call existence.
Thank you David,
Hey Cody, really like the modifications you’ve done to your truck. Very tastefully done. God Bless you and your family.
Cody, Good Morning. I have the same ARB under hood compressor and tire deflator on my 2017 Jeep Rubicon. Absolutely worth the money.
Love getting these videos when they are fresh out of the oven!
My experience with the Nitto Ridge Grapplers is that once they get worn with about 60-70% life left in the tire, they cake with mud. If you get into soupy conditions, they tend to loose their ability to sling the mud out and keep digging. The BFG's I've ran before will have close to the same performance as new thought the serviceable life of the tire. Just my experience! Thanks for the video.
Wow that is handy! Thinking about service life: how long will that little guy run without overheating? If you have four tires, maybe more, to re inflate from 10 psi. Maybe something to put to the test before heading out on adventure.
I'm sure the duty cycle information is included with the manual and other paperwork
You can easily do 2 cars with that without it need to stop, I've done 8 tyres from 15psi to 40 in one go.
Just keep the car running to keep the battery topped up.
Did some research and partly because of your videos I ordered a Ford with the 7.3l gas engine for work instead of the alternatives and haven't regretted it since. Tows a skid steer or mini excavator just fine and that's all I ask of it. It's nice to pop the hood and actually be able to see the engine.
I’m convinced that you have the best video production on all of you tube! The quality of your videos has gone over the top! Awesome job Cody.
Thank you Gearhead, I really appreciate you noticing,
I agree gearhead it absolutely is
I have the same compressor that came mounted in a toolbox including the inflation kit. I have lines pumped I to my van and power, this way I can have it in the van and ready to use. When I need it for something else I can quickly disconnect it from the van, grab the handle of toolbox, then carry it away to wherever I need it. It's a great compressor. It does get very hot while its running.
Just seeing that 19x hanging there I had to pull mine out and do some dry fire. I love it!! Rest of the vid was top notch as usual too, good job sir!
It's the best handgun a man can own,
I really like my Glock 45 same gun but black I believe. It's a great home defense gun and a fun shooter.
@@wranglerstar 45 mos is better...
Nice truck, 😎
To those who are looking for a new or late model truck, avoid Ram trucks that have factory air ride suspension if you live where things freeze! I have a friend who ended up scrapping a 2017 Dodge Ram 2500 diesel crew cab long box because the air ride needed nearly $20,000 in repairs to make safety this year. Since purchasing that unit it has cost him more to meet safety on suspension alone than the purchase cost! There may be a fix, which is to purge the system monthly and recharge the required nitrogen gas! A 3 hr dealer job, but that becomes expensive too @$175/hr labour!
Imagine being able to afford a brand new 1 ton truck, same year as the current year, and also being able to add aftermarket mods to it before the year is out.
If you have close to two million subscribers, you are pulling in crazy money. He could buy a few of those trucks a year and not sweat it. Believe me this guy is balling out of control.
its also an investment for him, he can make more videos about the truck, more videos = more money,
@@MissingData_ That’s true as well.
That is how some of us roll.
It’s a company cat right off
Another great video. We have installed a few systems like this. A couple things we’ve done is to put a regulator and gauge on the compressor, a couple times we put it on the hose a foot or so from the air chuck. Another setup was mount the qd on the bumper and the on/off switch inside the cab.
I seen one of those watch bands glowing. A guy stopped by to use my dad’s welder. He had broken a part on his snow plow. He struck an arc and the electrode stuck. He gave it a pull and the electrode contacted the watch band and stuck to it, the other side of the band was in contact with the frame. He was flopping around in the snow pretty wildly for a bit there. WOW a lot of yelping going on too.
Love ARB product. Solid company.
By buying another hose you might beable to hook then together to reach a trailer if your on a trip and notice one of the trailer tired is low
You are a good start to my day - that and a large cup of coffee. Almost always learn something - whether it is something i want to to incorporate OR something I don't.
"Island off the New Zealand coast." As someone who's unfortunate enough to live in the Commonwealth I can only imagine how much that cheesed them off and only take solace in how much it delighted me. God bless America: and I'm an atheist.
I really enjoy when you make preparation videos like these!
Your dig at soccer was hilarious. 😂 To be fair, I spent a summer with some friends when world cup was on, and as they explained nuances more and more, I found a new appreciation for a sport I once couldn't care less about.
Dig at soccer sure but can be applied to most team sports where some sort of ball is involved ;)
@@cjansson and realistically given it is an ARB kit the inflation needle is intended for either AFL or Rugby balls... or soccer balls, basketballs, netball... Australians love balls!
I was waiting for the angry responses. American football is another game of men in ladies 80”s shoulder pads chasing each other around then showering together.
I am surprised you didn’t install a small tank with a controller. If you do this you can adjust your rear bag pressure on the go. I have been running the viair constant air system with a 2 gallon tank. I installed the tank and tucked it behind my running board. This allows me to run impact tools if needed. Great video.
The hose is made for our “small” pickups (utes) in Australia - not the military sized vehicles you guys have the luxury of driving 😂😂🙏
Thanks Cody, your metal bench gave me a great idea for being able to reach the truck roof for good cleaning and polishing and light changing. Always was struggling with that.
I was wondering if you ever installed the “ black out switch” that you mentioned a while back
Speaking of knocking a tire off the bead. The old wheels on 1969 Chevy 4x4 3/4 ton were 16.5 and they didn't have a ridge to keep the tire bead seated. We had to air down to no more than 15 psi for organized 4 wheel drive runs. Well I slid into a rut and knocked the tire right off the bead. Not fun at the edge of the cliff. Those ARB compressors are nice. But all I could afford is a harbor freight kit. So far it works fine. I have used it on the trail, deer hunting and on my little ranch. Keep up the good work. And yes resist the fact B.S. No shots for me.
Did anyone else just pause the video and look at the dual alternators
I put my air bag Schrader valves in the same spot on my old F250! works awesome when putting my camper on. i can back under the camper and lower it down til the truck starts to squat then i air up the air bags and the camper will lift off of the ground. My old diesel doesn't have DEF so the fuel door is smaller and its a little tighter quarters but its so much better than crawling underneath the truck!
Cody, you have such great energy on camera. It’s inspiring!
A lot of folks will place an air connector port on both sides of a vehicle or at each end (front & rear), to avoid short hoses. Also many actually mount their compressors units and a slightly larger reservoir underneath, attached to the frame in a safe location, so as not to impair your ground clearance.
~ ~ ~ ~ "Ol' Scooter" from down in East Texas., checkin' in…and now checkin' out! Bless ya, Brother!
Love to see someone willing to use their platform to usher people to resist tyranny.
I second this
That toupee is on point. No east coast man could pull that off!
The inside jokes keep killing Cody. Bravo sir.
So many Wranglerstar nuggets in this gem. My favorite has to be the dual alternator shot and comment or the air hose being too short and blaming the metric system! 🤣🤣🤣I’m dying.
I was starting to think Australian tires deflate in the opposite direction.
You crack me up with the dual alternators. Lol!!!!
Best line of the day, "I blame the metric system." Love the content Cody. Our best to Mrs. W and the family; praying for y'all down here in the Heart of Dixie.
Hi Cody. I would like to suggest getting a male quick connect fitting and cap the threads. Connect it to the truck quick connect to keep dirt from entering the female side while not in use. Attach a small cord to this fitting so you won’t lose it in the snow or other hiding places in the engine compartment when disconnected. Cheers.
When ever I watch your videos I forget we live in a selfish world. We need more gents like you willing to share and teach
i couldnt help but chuckle at the "cody's gonna show us how to do it" bit. plenty of times i went just to find a quick tutorial and that cadence you had. hit right at home lol.
Hope you don’t treat your sheep the same way as your friends in New Zealand Cody?
A concerned Aussie
Ha,
Australia has over four times the number of sheep NZ has.
@@nzgunnie you blokes in New Zealand really do love your Ewes ❤️😘
But we have 7x the population of people, and some people still don't get what the X means.
@@wobblysauce Nothing to do with the amount of sheep
I was simply casting aspersions on the Kiwis choice of dates for a Saturday night, like:
Q: What do you call a Kiwi with a hundred lovers?
A: A shepherd.
Cody, nice one-word ending to your video, after mentioning Australia several times. There are a lot of them, us, maple-leaves, Brits, etc who are and will be standing shoulder to shoulder as needed. Keep sharing. ;)
"Resist" indeed.
Just popping in to tell you that I love your content. Have been watching you for years now
I would cut the hose ends about 6 inches to use their adapters and use some brass barbed hose splicers to make the hose to any length that you need. I use pex crimp fittings instead of hose clamps as they will not catch on anything. easier than taking the time to order from Australia and saves some $ too. I would also move the connector out from under the hood as others have commented. I used to have the quick connect fitting just under the driver's side door mounted on the frame with a dust cover.
Hi Cody, I know you have security alarms on your building but I would not tell people that I just had a delivery of fuel. Most people are honest but it only takes one dishonest person to see your video and decide that fuel should me theirs. A great air system and the sand statement is very good.
That is a great system. I bought the tool box one for my RZR. Works great.
I test drove a Super Duty a few weeks ago. I gotta say, I love my 2017 F150, but man alive, I want me a Super Duty now!
I’m so glad you did this. I’ve been toying with the idea of putting air on my super duties, great idea sir!!!
YEAH! STRAYA!
Also thank you for all of your videos. ARB makes some great quality stuff which gets tested in really harsh conditions.
Very nice. The King shocks are one of the best off road shocks you can buy. Another well done video
I shorted out my wedding band, working on a John Deere tractor a couple years ago, amazing how fast it can get blistering hot.
Instead of buying a new hose, what if you plumbed in another outlet to the back of the truck, then you could reach your back tires, as well as your trailer tires or anything else you might need air in the back for?
Nice install! Always great to have onboard air!!
Hey Cody, Maybe consider a dust cap for the outlet of the compressor, keep all the dust getting into it and fouling up the O-rings of the quick connects?
Its always nice when nz is mentioned, good to know where not forgotten.
Thank god for men like you Cody... It seems we have a shortage of good strong moral men at the moment... and I hope my statement is wrong and they are rising up to help defend our families.
That story about your granddads expanding strap on his watch reminded me of when I was a teenager playing cricket at our local park, I threw the ball back to the wicket keeper followed closely by my watch, never had one of those straps since lol.
As a relatively new homeowner, going back through your catalog has provided a lot of benefit to me.
G'day from that "Island off of New Zealand"🇦🇺 🤣 I have seen on other 4wdrives where they run a braided hose from the air compressor to the back of the 4wd so that you don't need to run a long hose and you have a press fitting near the bumper where you have like a 8 foot hose to inflate the tyres.
ARB products are very well made.
