GX 550 overtrail air compressor hose (1 Viewer)

[todabnrn]

Question for the group. The only thing so far I dont like about the overtrail is the storage space. Where do yall put the compressor hose when not in use? My luck is its going to fall out when taking stuff out. BTW, I dont use the net, Im OCD and like a clean look in the back,

I stuff it under the front passenger seat.

I keep mine in the storage compartment under the floor near the rear hatch. I took it out of the case so it would fit.

I have a portable one - so really only carry it when I'm heading out into the bush

have you guys actually put this compressor into use? it is by far the best feature on this truck? the accuracy in which it deflate, inflate with such a precise PID is impressive.

I put this shelf rack in to add storage!

To be honest - I think the built in compressor is WAY over priced - think I saw $1000+ for that. The ARB Portable one is about $500 - and will work for 99.999999% of users 99.99999% of the time.

I store mine in it's bag in the rear storage in front of (from the back) the tool kit.

Attached hose bag to outside vertical panel of Molle (Victory 4x4) shelf, just behind second row headrests. Prior to that removed hose from bag and put in one of the floor storage pockets. And prior to that I just stuffed hose in bottle jack compartment. Built a second air hose setup that connects to two tires at once for offroad. Store that in floor compartments

absolutely been using this compressor, and for other vehicles, farm equipment and trailer. I did not realize until I got the GX that it could auto deflate too. Very impressed. Too bad the USB charging ports on it require to turn its Power On button, instead of being on with normal engine on like the other USB ports.

Agreed. Nice surprise. This is my 3rd air compressor and none of the others had auto deflate. Love it when inflating or deflating several tires at once. I carry single OEM air hose and multi tire set up. Covers pretty much all needs.

I just used it on a trip yesterday and is amazing! Can set your own presets; I have one for road, trail, and sand psi. Set the pressure you want to go down to….deflates in maybe a minute. Same for inflating, but takes a little more than a minute per tire. Wayyyyy more convenient than the Makita pump I was using on my older 100 Series.

I just installed and put my hose bag in the cup holder pocket. Fits nicely and would be accessible if gear is in the back vs. lifting the floor. May trim the pocket so I can just attach the clean looking trim and leave it open for access.

I prefer this Milwaukee M18 inflator, model 2848-20: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwauk...Portable-Inflator-Tool-Only-2848-20/320022879

It's by far my favorite Milwaukee power tool I've bought, and that's the exact feedback I've heard from three separate heavy-hitter car enthusiast friends who are regularly working on cars (one of whom was a mechanic at a spec miata race shop). Everybody universally says it's the best power tool they've bought. Plus - it goes on sale for "free" every quarter or so if you buy a set of batteries which you'll need anyway.

It is a bit cheaper on amazon

It is right now, but Home Depot was just running their annual sale from Black Friday through Christmas where you could get it for free if you bought 2 5ah batteries + a charger for $200 or so. At that price, it's pretty unbeatable - that's how I got mine.

They run that sale every quarter or so, I think. I bet they'll run it again for Father's day and July 4.

But if you want it right now, Amazon's totally fine. Just be careful - that $143 price up today is not sold by Amazon or an authorized Milwaukee distributor. That may affect your warranty, but I've never had to claim on a Milwaukee warranty, so IDK what it's like.

I'm going to have to copy this idea....

The 3D Printer guys need to make a replacement insert.
