Projector usually only sell decent products and so do tmax, but I haven't used them. I have an ARB mounted under the bonnet to run the lockers and I am fitting an air tank which will be fed by bushranger compressor. I've had the bushranger for a couple of years and am very happy with it.

Here is the link.

Save some more money or you'll end up paying twice. There's a reason why max air's cost what they do, and the cheap copy's are heaps cheaper. If you plan to actually use it, it will break when you need it most.

Big Pump Compressor. Very happy with it. Can get them from BBM Motorsport and some TJM outlets.

Genuine 1/2 horspower.
Flows 3.6 CFM and pumps to 180psi !
Clever design incomporates a cooling fan that keeps the workings dry.
Ideal to fill large tyres, tanks.
The Big Pump is 280mm long, 150mm wide and 230 high.
Comes with incorporated flow back valve.

I have it pumping into a 4 litre aluminium tank.
We blew air filters out everyday whilst on our Cape York & Kimberley trips.
It also has enough balls to seat a bead on a rim.
