I've always had portable air compressors and have never quite been happy with them. The extra work required is a pain, so for the Fortuner build I decided to buy a hard mounted pump. I ended up going with the TJM Pro Series Single compresor - this thing is quick!
In this video I test out the speed of it vs my Ridge Ryder air compressor!

Anderson plug on towbar from second battery for me and one on my portable compressor, that's pretty quick and easy with a maxtrax dual gauge. Works pretty simple and leaves me room in back when not off reading. Impressive results from TIM

Cool video. I have that same Ridge rider pump, I have it permanently installed in a landcruiser, hardwired with a pressure switch and a small manifold with outlets for diff locks and an air outlet. It's been heavily used for the last 4years and never been a problem. I never intended to use it this long but it just keeps going strong so I decided to keep it. Yes it does get a bit slower as it heats up but not really an issue, using larger wiring helps it too, less voltage drop at the pump. You can't go wrong for the $99 price tag, you can buy 4x for the price of that TJM. But yeah they do take up a squeak more room.

They are awesome pumps eh! If it were smaller I probably would've just bought it a pressure switch. Didn't think about the wiring, it is pretty thin on them out of the factory eh

I agree it's a pain having to put the bonnet, drag out the portable compressor and faff turning it on and off to check the pressure in the tyre. I'm also looking at options for fixed compressor in my Fortuner. I have installed an Anderson in the front to make connecting easier but with no bull bar, no place to mount it so still a pain to use. I made the mistake of buying a twin compressor too which means it's draws 90amps at times meaning heavy gauge cables if moving the Anderson to the back. Until your video I've been put off by the smaller mounted compressors because of the air flow rate but I think your video has put my mind at ease on that one. Thanks for your insights.

It's a very first world problem eh - but it takes way longer adding all those steps in - and giving everything a minute or two to cool down before you can pack it away. True true - still better than opening the bonnet! 90amps is a lot eh - that and space were my two biggest issues - my cabling to the rear is way too big for just a DCDC, but I didn't have the headroom to dod a twin back there without shelling out for wiring again. Pretty impressed with the single unit though! It's not as fast as the twin as you'd expect, but I'm more than happy with it's output

If you buy a proper attachment for inflating tyres then it will have a trigger on it so you just set up compressor flick on, if you buy a longer hose you can just leave it on. It has an internal pressure switch so once it builds up it switches off and you can just toggle the switch to check pressure easy as don't have to go back and forth turning on and off

Been using the milwaukee m18 inflator as I'm a builder and that's my main tool platform I'd love to compare these.

@OverlandNZTV Год назад

Would be interesting! I might know someone who has something very similar too...

Some people are mounting their compressor in there engine bay . All they need to do is open up your bonnet and plug in your air hose and turn it on and way you go .

@OverlandNZTV 2 года назад

I did think about putting it in the engine bay - less noise and heat in the cab. My ultimate goal was to not have to open the bonnet though - lifting the bonnet in 100kmph+ hour gusts of wind isn't fun. I also found on a week trip I just did, I just left the hose connected and rolled up in the boot - made airing up super easy

@QnA22 6 месяцев назад

Added issue to mounting it in the bonnet is mud and (salty) water. Your creating an extra weakpoint and you do need to clean it up often.

I found a bracket out of Oz that I mounted my arb single under the bonnet of my 200

@OverlandNZTV 2 года назад

I thought about under the bonnet - decent space there. Wanted the air outlet to be in the boot though - less hose run needed to get there

@tommypaintingplastering2854 2 года назад

im used ARB twin compressor to my Rig. its fast

@OverlandNZTV 2 года назад

I can imagine they're super quick - I really wanted a twin but space is at a premium

@bineeshmathew07 2 года назад

Hi Mate how is those wheels going ? I am about to buy the same ones . Did you have to remove the mudflaps? Is it rubbing when you do off-road? Thanks

@OverlandNZTV 2 года назад

Heya - zero issues with them after removing the front mud flaps. Never had any issues with rubbing on or offroad which was nice

Cool info man ! Hit us up if you head north on your massive roadie :)

Glad it was useful! Little bit behind on the videos 😅 We just got back from a week down south - was amazing! Full video coming in a few weeks (quite a bit of content to go through)
