What's this?
I am guessing it's a tyre inflator as there's one on each corner but happy to be corrected
Any guesses as to where it is?
where is the picture from? it looks like inflator/deflator airline.
can you share the source of info? that looks like an interesting G....
I would tend to agree, it does looks to be a tyre inflator/deflator. Someone has adapted one for themselves; the air feed to the tyre seems to be through the wheel its self. I have been under the impression that the use of deflated tyres requires bead blockers to prevent the tyre from coming off the rim; this system does not employ one.

My guess was a deflator/inflator. As you may be able to see from the garish paint job, it's desert based and when, 7 year back, I went dune bashing in Dubai in a LandCruiser, they let the tyres down before heading into the sand. So I assumed it was some sort of rig for doing the nasty job of changing tyre pressures from the inside...
It's in UAE - Rainbow Shiekh - and Clarkson visited.
