Ok So the system looks great. Got a question.
If this is mounted under the truck, what happens in water hazards or in some mud or snow, or sand.
Wont the compressor get all clogged with materials?
Maybe I am not realizing where it is actually mounted but these are some thoughts that come to me.
Also for the versions that CAN be used as onboard air, where are you suggesting the chuck outlet be placed?
Thanks
This kit is extremely durable and made for off-roading.
The compressor has an intake hose with a filter that you run up into the engine bay and it mounts pretty high up, so there is no risk of sucking up water. It was very well thought out.
The horns are mounted to a very durable bar that is mounted above the tire and the horns are pretty high up. Kleinn has videos of Jeep Wranglers with full air horn setups and they show the jeeps going through mud and water and the horns still work once out of the hazard. These setups are made to take a beating and keep going, and as far as Train horn setups go, I don't think you can beat this setup. Perhaps air horns aren't the best option for hardcore off-roaders, but if you are, this would be the one that could probably survive it.
The air tank has several taps and you can pick which one you want to use for an accessory connector. For mine, it's in the rear of the tank and above center. Very easy to get to also. The 730/734 Demon kit comes with the accessory hose and is ready to go for blowing tires up with the included attachment.
That being said, I wish I had gotten this setup sooner, I just didn't know about it. A few months ago when it got cold I needed to blow my tires up and was well away from home and had a hard time finding a decent pump that could do it as the gas stations around me all have garbage pumps. This would have been amazing to just jump out, attach, and pump right on the spot. I am also thinking that for rock climbs or other off roading where you would want to deflate your tires when you hit the dirt, then inflate immediatley when you get back on pavement, this is the way to go!
