    I bought the ARB twin and bought a case from Bunnings for $50 and bolted it in. IMG_1756.JPGIMG_1757.JPG

    Looks like a good setup. If my aldi compressor dies I'll either grab a twin ARB or the new MK3 thumper.
    As yet I haven't managed to kill the aldi one yet

    I wouldn't hold your breath. Most of the Aldi stuff pack up straight away or they last a long time from my experience.

    I have one of these

    https://www.tradetools.com/product-r...-50amps-112lpm

    It takes 45 seconds to put my 33s back to 35psi.
    I have made a rear storage system to fit it.
    I've had it since January 2010 and it hasn't missed a beat!
    It even runs my rattle gun, great for trips or at the drags with the Ford.
    Cheers

    WOW! Thats the first Taiwanese air compressor I have seen. Apart from the US or ARB compressors everything else comes out of China. I like the fact it comes with a tank and frame so its portable or can be mounted.

    Came across this fully sealed plastic box more than big enough to house those "Thumpa" style compressors
    @lucus30 this may come in handy ,not too pricey$$$$$

    This might appeal to someone even if you fit your compressor to the tank

    BFG have a promo on ATM. Buy 4 tyres, get a free ARB CKSMA12 compressor, $370 or thereabouts.

    Well folks I bought myself one of those Thumper compressors from 4WDSupacentre.

    The the thing is pretty robust, solid feel, no flimsy plastic bits. Nice long hose. I think the crappiest bit is the carry bag.

    Anyway, it is fast, well it's faster than the ARB CKMP12 I had in the Navara with no doubt. I pumped up a 32" tyre from 15psi to what I later found out to be close to 50 psi in less than 60 seconds.

    It is heavy, but that doesn't bother me really, makes me think it can withstand some bumps & tumbles. I get another if I lost this one.
