Has any one mounted a retractable air lead in the back of their patrol wagon?
If so where did you mount and what do you have?
This is the one I'm looking at

It measure 300x300x150
I was thinking of mounting it in the window frame of the rear of the cab to the grab handle mount.
What does every one think and what can you add?

To be honest I reckon it's just a bulky way to carry the hose you need. I thought about a coil type hose but again I think it is bulkier than the hose I use now. I use a reusable zip tie or you could use Velcro to hold the hose in a loop then I tie it to the cargo barrier in the GQ and happy days.
I don't have a cargo barrier. But I get what your saying.
I'm just trying to make pumping up my tyres as easy as possible and as cool looking as possible. :)
Do you have a on board setup or portable?
If onboard run a line alone the chassis rail from bull bar to rear bar with quick release air fittings, then you only need 2 or so mtrs of hose..

In the process of installing on on board system, with tank and air manifold for later expansions :)
also dont want the fittings on the out side as they will get full of crap. Mud gets everywhere on the out side. lol
Mine is on the outside and no issues here ... when I get back home from my travels, I will post up a pic.

Both my vehicles have onboard air. Both are pretty much set up as Kallen suggests. One (small bus) with air outlets on the front & rear bumper bars, each with a push on/pull off cover to stop crap getting into them. (Compressor & tank underneath vehicle with airlines along the chassis rails). The other (my Patrol) has the compressor & tank mounted inside the canopy, with an outlet on each side of the canopy, inside. The hose I carry reaches all wheels & as well as under the bonnet. Far less bulky than curly hose or retractable set up.

Use the push in air fittings, then run via a manifold and oneway valve and air stone filters and pressure switch,
as others suggest mount female "nitto" fitting front and rear. Then you only need 3mtr length to reach all 4 wheels.
Curly hose crimps and becomes useless, there is some very flexible hose available these days. Use Nitto instead of the Jaymac
twin barb fitting as you get more air flow, Tank wise along the inside of the LHS of chassis is norm for the smaller tanks
for lockers. Or up under the rear for larger tanks. Dont forget a bleed/Drain screw. Lubricator not required ATS
You can get covers for the fittings eg Door stops fit I think, trim to suit look neat and cheap
Shaun,
You could possibly compromise, and mount a fitting inside the fuel cap area, outside but yet inside, if you are worried about it ....
