    Air hose that holds up to being on a vehicle

    On my Bronco and now my Jeep I have been running 3/8 rubber air hose for my OBA. Years ago I got some Goodyear 3/8 that held up great, some of it was used on the Bronco and then transferred to the Jeep when the Jeep was built up. A few years ago I had a line rupture, it was near the exhaust...
