Out of Africa / North Africa
I'll be taking my BJ60 to Africa later this spring. The alternative is a new 'Cruiser (nice but out of my price range) or a rolling junk pile. In order to be mobile in Africa it would be nice to have an "on-board air" setup. Gas stations out here in "up country" do not have electrical power. That's right!! Hand cranked gas pumps or gas pumps that should have been relegated to the museums years ago. No power means no complementary air, if there is air at all.
To get on board air I already have arranged an ARB compressor that is rated to inflate the tires in something a little less than a lifetime like the current cigarette lighter pump I currently have. I'd like to also have an air tank located somewhere so the load on the compressor won't be continuous, at least not right away.
If you've installed an air tank somewhere, share the location and what the pluses and minuses are of your selected location. I'm aware that an air tank mounted under the truck could cause issues with border crossings. I've already had that "pleasure" with my long range tank.
