Onboard Air System

what do you guys think? I have a small tank, and an adjustable Hobbs Pressure switch, but I dont know about turing my air conditioner into the pump. I wont need much VOLUME....just an occasional air in the tires after sand traps and stuff. Thanks! SEAN!

if the ac compressor doesn't work for the ac, and you don't want the ac, then why not? Otherwise, just add a small pump. Like a quickair or something like that.

There was an article published in 4x4 Power or Petersen's 4WOR a few years ago that I OCR'ed. I think you can dl it from http://www.broncodata.com/ . It discussed which compressors work best, and what extra mods keep them working.
