I have a 130 and sent it in for a wonderful coolant leak... I asked the dealer to install one of the on-board air compressors... My loaner was a 110. The 110 has a space on the left side rear for the compressor. That's when I realized (before the dealer did) that there is no spot in the 130 for the IAC. Is this true? What are fellow 130 owners doing?

 

My first thought is that its easer to fill up your soccer ball with a simple hand pump..... but upon further thought. You could have the possibility of 7 or more soccer ***** and an Onboard Air System does sound like a pretty nice option to have. Is it too soon to start ribbing 130 owners.

 

This almost made me fell from my chair...

 

7 soccer *****, my kids, and driving on the beach sounds nice to me...

 

FWIW, I've been lazy and never bothered to air down the tires for beach driving. (And fortunately never got stuck...yet) I use sand mode and low gear to maintain momentum. The Defender traction control system is far more capable than the LR4's system. Plus the Goodyear Wrangler tires are really good in sand. The tread pattern floats well and does not "dig" like a more aggressive mud tire would. I figure I can stop and air down the tires if I begin to bog down, sink and get stuck.
