    I've got this one

    eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item...d=400420700469

    It's a lot quicker than other 150L jobs as well.

    @ winnie link only went to sunglasses,
    @ Mego whats your main use to run a locker or to air up after driving around,
    If you want the best get AIR ON BOARD where they fit a converted air conditioner compressor.
    And in conjunction with an air tank you'll be blowing up lilo's faster too
    You'll air up as fast as a servo, have the ability to use a rattle gun out in the bush, not cheap but well worth looking at.
    I use what is called the BIG BLACK PUMP, awesome power
    04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    I have one of these.
    It is not as good quality as an ARB one but does the job for me, have had it for about 7 years and has not failed yet.
    The same compressor is sold by several people on ebay and used to be sold by a couple of the auto shops.

    I would prefer something like what TD is talking about but I never seem to get around to doing it.

    I got the single on board ARB model. the reason i didnt get the twin was because the guy at ARB said they have had a heap back because they burn out. The single one does the job pretty well, heaps better then my cheapie. I have seen a twin in action and they are good, but i dont want it if its going to burn out.

    I heard these Dr Air compressor are identical to Aldi and Terrain tamer also. Externally anyway.

    For the time being it will be n just to air up, then get endless air like you said.
    I'll be probably getting E-locker so won't need air for that.
