Yeah had the compressor on top of the tank all he had to do was open side window and run the hose out he pumped my tyres up with no probs he even was using it on Tim's troll with blower

I'll post some pics later of the set up. Its great for running air tools and it doesn't do a bad job of pumping up the tyres as well

Sorry for the nubish question.
But what is the benefit of doing this if you cant run air tools off the setups???
If it is only to run the compressor without lifting the bonnet, then why dont you run an anderson plug to the bullbar??
Really the only things you need to look at is how quickly you want to pump up your tyres. Until recently all I had was an ARB high output on board compressor mounted under the rear window and for coming back off the track this was plenty. These come with a cushion tank as a buffer to take a bit of strain off the compressor but not quite enough if you really wana give things a blow out. Recently put drawers in and as I need the child anchor bolts this left room behind the seats for, 2nd battery, sub and bought just the 9L air tank off Tigerz. Heaps of holes in the tank so you can tuck it wherever and still either run your hose out the window, from behind the chairs or out to a fitting. As for pressure valves my compressor comes with one so it doesn't pop its little tank so literally all I had to do was unscrew the hose fitting (anderson fitting), whack it on the tank and run a hose from the compressor tank to feed the new one
In short the tank just provides a volume of air you can use so your not relying on the air displacement of the compressor.
So how noisy are these compressors inside the cab?
I'm in 2 minds of wether to tempt fait again and mount under the bonnet, or build it into the draw system in a sound deadened box??

Noise might still be an issue if you have youngsters/passengers in the back.
