Its about $500 for the compressor, then the tank and lines/fittings
Personally I would go with the VAIR. I have the basic $199 set up that i bought for my 2012 and now have in my 2013 Rubi, from DOR. It inflates my 35's plenty fast, and although I dont have ARB lockers I believe you can get the necessary hardware to do it. I just wish they would come out with a kits with the air tank for the 2012+'s.

Lol, now there is an idea.

The trouble I have with the vair is the dual 450's are almost half of what the ARB puts out and for an extra $130 I can get the ARB. Also I am not sure where I would mount it, can't go under the hood, can't go under the passenger seat (where I would plan to put the ABR), rear is going to have a full drawer system put in, and the units are kinda big from what I read.

Hey Guys,
Woods here from JeepSWAG / Dominion OffRoad
All of my kits use the 400c compressor. Especially if you're running duals, this little unit is the best out there. If you're running it as a single, then yes, you may have some duty cycle problems. It comes down to how you utilize it though. If you need to get over 30 PSI, then it may shut down. I tell my customers that the 400c will get you safe on the road, filling tires to 25 PSI. 25 PSI is safe to drive the hwy with. Not as good for tire ware and mileage, but safe to drive. I fill my tires to over 30 PSI, every time and have never hit the duty cycle limit.
I shouldn't be writing this yet... I don't like talking about products that are not yet released. I am working on a dual 400c compressor kit. It should be shipping by the end of the year. A little over 5 CFM and some cool whistles and bells. It will be a kit designed specifically for the JK.

There have been some instances of the ARB units overheating when placed in the engine compartment or in other contained areas. This is thing makes some noise when it is it doing its thing so mounting in the cabin, IMO, should be avoided. Our ARB is in its own suitcase and came with its own tank. Like the OP, expensive but when you are airing up 37's that are 13.5 wide you don't want to be there all night so went big. The suit case version, IMO, reduces the overheating possibilities greatly as it is not in the engine bay or stuffed in a hole somewhere. ARB does make a rebuild kit for the unit if and when the overheat condition arises.
All that being said, the unit is quite impressive for airing up the big 37's from 8psi to 30psi, left our power plant in the dust. FYI, were issues with the power plant, returned to vendor. If the suitcase unit didn't weigh damn 50lbs it would be even nice but, whatcha gonna do?

I'm kind of fixated on getting this as an upgrade. The idea of saving some time at the end of a long trail day sounds pretty good. I've seen them mounted by the rear wheel well in another 2 dr jk, seemed like a good spot (wondering how big the suitcase version is)?
