Get youself a Sandem AC and figure out how to mount it somewhere. Otherwise, ARB or other electric will do for the lockers, but none are as fast as a converted AC pump. Endless air is one such.

As discussed, Steve doesnt sell crap, I havent tested mine for long yet, I think I had it running for about 30 to 40 mins constant on Sunday using it on a Staun Massojet pressure washer, it run gr8, I was very happy. I dont think you are going to find a better quality 12v electric one anywhere, I did have a supercheap one, paid $169.oo. ive since seen them on ebay for around $100, and I have to tell you it was crap, and doesnt even come close to compairing, the supercheap one was red hot in about 5 min, and the volume output really didnt seem to meet my expectations.

These have been being used for air suspension set up for quite some time, hassle free. I know of a guy in town with airbags under his show chev and uses one of these same compresses. These guys have quarter of a million dollar cars and wont put crap products in them. They haven't been on the 4wd seen for too long but i'll be happy to say i jumped onto a good thing rather than buy and inferior but known brand product.[/quote]
