I can not believe the difference, it is like a totally new vehicle. There is one hill in particular. It was only 25 feet or so, but almost straight up. I did not think it would make it, just thought I would try. When the front cleared the top, both front tires were essentially in the air. Kept right on going, I was so proud. lol Anyways it was unreal. I took some short video and a few pics, i will post them as soon as I figure out the camera and how to post to this site.

From what I am hearing, you are better off to buy a bigger or separate compressor if you want to air up tires. The lockers will run off a number of different compressors. I guess the ARB compressor will work, but it is hard on it to run for any length of time. I was going to purchase a portable compressor to air up tires.   Paul D.
