onboard air system

I just have to say this is all Jesse`s fault.
All his talk of air lockers got me thinking.
Since the intercooler is now all sorted, I spent this week installing a complete compressed air system in the van.
Being a truck mechanic, sourcing the tank, #4 plastic air lines and fittings was easy. any truck shop has all this.
the superflow compressor and pressure switch came from northshore offroad. the pressure switch turns on the relay that powers the compressor, at 85 psi, and off at 105.
Now dropping tire pressure for more traction will be an option. the yellow curly hose plugs in a bunch of different spots so I can easily reach all 4 tires.
Just behind the passenger seat is a blowgun which will make cleaning the dust and pineneedles easy.
And the main reason, LOCKERS of course.
