Rear air access from dual ARB compressor in engine bay
Has anyone routed air line from the engine bay, through the firewall, door sill, and eventually to a quick connect chuck in the rear area?

@LOLSNOW did an awesome install with the compressor in the rear.

I'd like to route air line from the passenger side engine bay to the passenger rear tail light access panel, eventually looking like this:


Looking for tips, best practices or any other useful info from folks that have tried this.

Thoughts?

It looks nice. Why not just run to the vicinity of the hitch? Run the air line along the frame. I use the rubber tips for a cane to cover my air couplings on my Jeep and Dodge tow rig. I prefer brass air couplings.

Thinking from an air ride perspective, maybe run a 3/8" line to a small 1 gallon tank in the trunk(hidden in the wheel well area where everyone mounts their compressor) and mount your hook ups like the picture shown. 3/8" lines are very easy to route and commonly done inside the car for air ride setups. 1 line should be super easy.
