I saw the article in one of the mags whilst browsing at Borders. Seem sinteresting but just a little expensive, something like $2300 to install on a 4wd :shock:

Hmmmm ... good idea but think most of us would tear those lines off pretty quick on tracks, rocks, trees, etc ...

Seen some of the Daker cars running this type of system.

As for med+ 4wd. I dont think it would last very long. Might be good for a desert tourer though.
I seen a CTIS on a Oka a couple of years ago that was similar to a Hummer. Would be interesting if they could get that style to work on Jap axls. As I dont really wanna upgrade to Dana 60's

they have it on a Suzuki Vitara so I don't think you need any specific type of axle for it to work. In the article they mentioned that logging trucks were a major user of the system

Overlander mag, I boaught it for the path finder bit.

I havn't read it, but I don't like the look of the hoses hanging out the sides, but full adjustment of the air in the tyres via a button can't be a bad option I guess.

Yea, he's been producing the kits for years, out the back of moe, vit has airbag rear aswell, also had it setup on a P38A RR, sell heaps to logging companies, mate had it on his truck, pretty cool stuff, but yea not so good for scrub work, to many lines to tear off

Yer can easliy see how this system could be fitted to anything. But in practice unlees your only doing desert trips, beach work or light off-road. I cant see this type of system lasting very long.
Even just getting snaged on sticks would damage it.

Where as a system like the Hummers and some dana diffs I have seen that have the airline somehow go thru the hub. Now that would be good. As then the airline could be well protected.

that's bc they have portal hubs, so the axle can be hollow drilled. this auxillary would be a great system for regular beach work.
