If its to just run as a compressor for tyres and other stuff, its fine. For lockers, not fine.Quote:

Be a noisy annoyance under the seat, wouldn't it?
Indeed but I would be only using it when out of the car airing up though or inflating non sexual inflatable items...lolQuote:

I have my compressor in the rear side wing of my drawers. I get no voltage drop to there with 6 B&S cable from my aux bat. I can't see why you'd get less airflow with the compressor in the rear?
Apparently with longer wires you'll get more inline resistance resulting in less air flow rate.Quote:

He's a great bloke that Rossco!!!!Quote:

As I said with my 6 B&S cable voltage drop is negligible to my rear drawers, and my ARB high output compressor seems to run no dramas. Interested to know if there is a possibility of my compressor not running as efficient though.Quote:

Just noticed my piranha management system is flashing red lights which means I have an electrical problem in my vehicle. I have gone over everything this arvo and pretty sure nothing is wrong which means the system may have shat itself!!!
Ill ring piranha this week anyway, those guys have exceptional after sales service!
I love finding new problems!!!
I could only imagine that 2 B&S would definitely have no issues....Quote:

Has yours ever had the 2 LED red flashes going?
I am 99.9999% sure my electrical system is spot on and cannot find a fault anywhere....This did happen a few years ago and the problem was with the battery management system. No questions asked they replaced it and even re wired it a bit better for me.
They really do look after their customers!
Can't say I've ever had 2 red flashing lights on mine...Quote:

I much prefer my GQ's without the rear chop. It was really pissing me off when I was looking for a TD42 earlier, there were some mint examples that had a qtr chop.....damn.....

Quarter chops are cool!!!
Nah seriously rear quarters are pretty vulnerable, chop and good bar they are well protected and match up well with the front.
Having said that there are dodgy examples tho.
Bloody oath, cool as! Join the cool gang drew!Quote:

Late night crappy AB photo time!
Relocated the switchboard the old man made for me to face forward, hundred times easier to use now!
Installed the arb compressor on top with easy reach and usability.
Picture below is crap at this time of night but works well and easy access and storage of hose, etc.
Rewiring everything was not fun....
Crossing off my list and bumping for me...lol
New km2
High mount rebuild install and fairlead, rope and controller
Rear quarter cut and front guard chop
Front mud flaps
Rear bar
Upgrade turbo and pump, 3" elbow to inlet manifold
Need rear slide windows
New airbox
Indicators on new bar
New water bottle
Mesh on roof rack
New flares
Door hinges
Put a half decent stereo and speaker system in...lol
Run mandrel bends on aux tank main filler... Winnie, you need to do this too after simmo experience.
Love the switchboard idea!
hey champ where did you get the rear quarter plates from? Is it something you can buy of the shelf or did you have them made up?
Hey mate, Rossco got them for me, hang 5 and he'll hopefully see this thread.Quote:

In case your wondering AB just texted the post instead of posting. Ha ha!
I said to myself I better text Rossco letting him know of the question asked, then went to messaging, then thought I better write the message in the forum first so Rossco doesn't jump on the forum and say wtf.Quote:

I have working sliding rear windows!!!
Just got my car serviced at Patrolapart and thought I would lash out for some second hand windows...lol
The joys of accessing from the side, I'm in heaven!!!!
