Yes mate, the mod works well, just make sure whatever lubricant you use is suitable for use on rubber. I used tap lubricant. Still a little fiddly to get low right, but it is ok.

I just bought one, the pump is alright but I've never seen Jerry built fittings like it. The air hose fittings are cheap crap which nearly break your fingers and the tyre nozzle won't seal properly, plus it's impossible to get a pressure reading without letting the tyre down, the "instruction" book even tells you some bullshit about not getting a reading while inflating the tyre. I've got a little 20 dollar compressor for kids bike tyres and it gives a near perfect reading while the pumping is in progress, so I wonder what is the problem with this piece of shit ? DON'T BUY ONE !!!

Nicely done, I've been having a problem understanding the 15, does it have to do with how much charging power goes into your battery? Will a 100ah battery, 100w panel charge faster with a 75/15 vs 75/10?
@TasmanianOffroadAdventures9 ай бұрын
The 10 and 15 refer to the maximum charge current of the unit. A 100 watt panel will output less than 10 amps of charge so they would both charge at the same rate. The 75/10 is good for a panel up to 145 watts and the 75/15 up to 220 watts.

Just thought I'd mention, Supercheap Auto and BCF are both owned by Super Retail Group. So, the XTM and Ridge Rider gear is most likely out of the same factory.
@TasmanianOffroadAdventures Жыл бұрын
Yep very good chance. The Ridge Ryder compressor in this test was supplied by the Super Retail Group. The rep for them insisted that there were two very different purchasing departments within and they were very competitive with each other and that’s why they would only supply the Ridge Ryder and not the XTM. Not sure I buy that though!

We have gone through 2 big thumpers, both sounded like they would implode. They were hooked up to a small tank to operate a valve on a water truck, bypassed the 90 to 120 psi switch to a 60 to 90 version and was lucky to run for 1hr bfore shitting itself. Absolutely no load on it up to 70 psi, literally took 30 seconds to get the tank to pressure. Total junk.

IT IS EXCEEDINGLY UNFORTUNATE that during the tests, instead of letting us hear the SOUND of each compressor, under load...... we heard...... music. For me, therefore, the entire 26:50 video was completely unhelpful.

To reduce the voltage drop, would it be worth considering mounting a compressor in the engine bay? I’ve got space for it on my 02 Ranger. I’ve got a dual cab still with the regular pickup body, I’m not sure if or when I’m going to build a flat bed for it. Are the downsides of being in the engine bay worth it? I think heat, water and mud will be the biggest problems. But I’d feel more comfortable running and fitting airlines to the rear rather than electrical cables
