has anyone installed the poly airbags and intalled in cab pressure gauges? - had a search couldnt find anything
would be handy for filling and checking for leaks

I understand the leaking bit, but my firestone airbags I just fill at the valves installed near my towball, so I don't see how gauges in cab would benefit...
Too many gauges can be a bad thing - I think I will concentrate on the road rather than worrying about an airbag leaking...NOW FOR SALE!!! - 2004 Silver GXL 3lt 4spd Auto - ARB Bullbar, Safari Snorkel, Redarc Dual Battery System, Cooper ST MAXX, Dark Tint, IPF900XS spots, Raised Bilstein/Kings Suspension/Firestone Airbags, Autosafe Cargo Barrier, Sandgrabbers, Rola Roof Rack Stuff, Insect Screen, Dust/Wind Deflectors, Sheepskin/Black Duck Seatcovers, GME TX3510, ARB underbonnet compressor, Allied Hammer Rims, ARB UVP, [url="http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread.php?18043-Rock-sliders-steel-side-steps"]AJ Sliders[/url]Comment

I wonder if you could program a tyredog TPMS to read the air bag pressure?Black 2003, TD, GXL PradoComment

I really cannot see why you would bother. Given the low pressures involved getting gauges to read accurately enough to make it worthwhile may be problematic. No reason why Tyredogs wouldn't read but running extra hose is only giving more scope for a leak. I have had Polyairs in various vehicles for the last 15 years or so and only had one leak and that was when too much hose was left over and it fell onto the exhaust.

i was thinking of using some low pressure gauges - similar to a autometer boost gauge / one gauge for each bag?
the purpose of the gauges where to make sure the bags have the right pressures at all times-( as the bags are probably inflated and forgot about)Comment

check this, i used to have them on my jeeps, will do them on the prado once decided

Bit of overkill considering the polyair bags only go between 4 to 30 psi, I too just air the poly's via the 2 outlets in the back panel. Poly's are designed to be adjusted when the weight is applied and then left alone unlike an air suspension system where the girls can be impressed (not) by playing with the ride heights as you go alongOriginally posted by hisham saeed View Post

the ones i had was from 0 to 100 psi , and they are accurate[COLOR=blue]2006 VX ,5 Auto , currently Scan gauge II , Bonnet Guard ,wind deflectors,head lamp cover, dust deflector,insect net , Engel fridge,IPF fat boy,Hella FF300 lights,Toyota HD bars,BF 265/70 R17 A/T, Hella TPMS, K&N,OME 2",DBA , AirLift 1000 & Wirless Air control , ARB Comp,Safari Snorkel.[/COLOR]

FC I thought you added the air to the bags, then loaded the car, then dropped the height (if necessary). Has this changed????????????Originally posted by FC_Holden View PostBit of overkill considering the polyair bags only go between 4 to 30 psi, I too just air the poly's via the 2 outlets in the back panel.
