I’ve been off road enough times to have learned a few lessons about things. One of them is that I never seem to have enough air hose to reach the location that we need it on the disabled vehicle. Now while 25ft of coiled air hose (that’s what it says on the package, not reality) is great for airing up your vehicle, or one next to you, it’s just not enough to reach anything further. I also discovered that airing down all 4 tires at once was pretty cool (Thanks Staun), I didn’t like walking around and airing up each tire individually. So I though why not do all 4 at once, but that quickly died as I thought about all the hoses, and stuff that I would need. Now I really wanted about 50ft of coiled air hose also. So a few thoughts were born and I came up with this. I have seen something similar on a forum lately using a cross 4 way instead of the 4 way I used. I thought about that, but realized it would be too bulky of a setup for storage. I also checked and couldn’t find one in any of the local hardware stores, or the harbor freight (one of the smaller stores) that we had in town. You can get the majority of this stuff at Lowes, Home Depot or Wal-mart. The nice thing about this set up is I now have 50ft of air hose at my disposal, and a way to monitor pressure and have a shut off valve available for use.

Common Sense and Safety should always be observed when working on your vehicle or doing modifications. Jackstands, wheel blocks, disconnecting the battery are a few of the basic safety precautions that should be used and may not be mentioned in the write ups on this site. You are responsible for your own installation, these write ups are a helpful guideline and should not be taken as an official installation instruction. My write up may be different from the kits currently out there, so alwasy double check the manufacturers installation instructions when installing anything. I try to keep the site up to date with changes that have occured as I discover them, but may not have the latest unless someone lets me know. If you feel that an install is above your capabilities after reading my write ups, I recommend getting together with a club and getting some help. Only a few times have I needed to employe some actual help from a shop to get something done. Usually welding or A/C work. While I have spent many years working on mechanical systems, I am not an expert, nor do I pretend to be one. I hope these write ups have been useful to you.
