My landcruiser had this on it when i baught it but no tank just has a pressure relief valve and air fitting behind the bullbar. First time i went to use it the compressor siezed in 5 secs. Havn't bothered fixing it but is all still there. Aparently in AC the gas carries oil to lubricate the compressor so some how need to lubricate it for air :?

There was a thread on this exact topic a week or 2 ago about mounting a compressor onto a hilux and keeping the a/c.
