4 way hoses are old news... built a permanent on-board air hose

[Tricky Mike]

I just built and installed a permanent air hose. Instead of dealing with a bulky 4 way, I now have 4 double ended locking chuck hoses just 4' long each.

I feel like I don't air up/down enough to put this much effort into this, but I do like the look of it.

That's fair. I started to use just a 2 way because I tired of dealing with hose tangles and bulk. Especially annoying when trying to limp along with a slow leak and frequent top ups. This mod would cost about $100 if you bought everything on amazon, less than buying a premade 4 way hose.

Agree with this sentiment. 4-way’s are far too bulky and obnoxious to be that useful.. it’s kinda like (watching my wife) carry the groceries in all at once vs. two easier trips. A good 1 or 2 way system isn’t really much slower and way more practical. It’s more about the right compressor IMO.. which spoiler alert - Northern tool sells

I stopped using the MORRflate beacuse I literally got things done faster with just the ARB host and moving from wheel to wheel. In fact I've been meaning to jsut roughly time how long it takes to air back up from 18 to 36 psi so I can simply use a stopwatch instead of having to wait the onboard pressure reading.

I’m all for innovation but 4 way ho$e $y$tem$ tried to $olve a problem that didn’t really exist in reality (for the con$umer anyway)

It's slower then my single bigger hose....

Great idea Tricky, I was wondering when someone was going to think of this.

Now all you need is 2 air jacks and you can use your air compressor to jack up the Bronc when you get a flat or to stack some rocks under it to get unstuck.

Taking notes on your bulkhead locations Where did you locate manifold/tees?

Very slick install. Do you have a tank at all or do you go direct to compressor? What's your setup like on the other end? I was going to shell out for the ARB underhood joint from FP, but I don't know what my airing setup will be like. Probably a standard 2-way for me, but I might just make it myself!

I did a Trickflate under the hood. IDK how well it's going to survive in the heat long term, that's a new location for me.

Nice!

Now who's going to show off their central tire inflation system?

My DIY 4-way hose kit fits in the same bag as my compressor. Not bulky at all. I would go with a permanent solution if I could just flip one of my accessory switches and auto-inflate, I would do that. But if I need to get out and hook stuff up manually, my DIY kit isn't significantly more effort than anything else I've seen.

Rest assured I didn’t say I was gonna admit fault and change my ways. (Raised fist in the air) haha Just trying to grasp at a point and came up short on a Friday night. I blame the chemo for my error!
