The difference between theory and practice is, in theory there is no difference...

Buy quality upfront.... there are many knock off's that appear cheaper initially, but just don't perform well longer term.

Personally i HATE electric compressors as I've had many problems so i won't suggest brands. But... do it once - do it right.

it would be interesting to see different On-board Air setups.

I have been thinking about getting this kit (http://**************.com/ml7zly8) which includes a tank and the necessary components to convert my ARB portable air compressor to On-Board.

I'm getting ARB Lockers soon so it would be good to know how people hook up solenoids and other components.

If you know of other threads already that talks about this, let me know
