Has anyone mounted the warn aux air tanks for the HP?? If so, where are you mounting them? Also is the install very hard to do? Thanks!!

 

I guess no one has ever done this mod??? Just needing to know if its needed to run simple air tools??

 

Bringing this back up. I never got an answer on this topic. Any help would be wonderful!!

 

I spoke to Pat M??????, a Warn Rep at the Telluride Rotary 4x4 event about doing this and he was not in favor of it. He said they found that it was slower to air tires up with a 2.5 galon air tank than with the small one on the Warn PP. If it's harder to air up tires air tools would be even worse.

By the same token Steve S at Off Road Only says his Air-Rock suspension works best with a 1 gallon tank; and that is with an engine driven compressor.

I was going to do this but have been rethinking it. If I was using it to run air lockers I might do it but other than that I don't know. It would not be hard to do. Do a search; it has been discussed extensively before.

 

Thanks Chuck. I just cant imagine that little compressor on the Warn HP doing that great buy maybe it does.

 

Why shouldn't it do well? It's powered by the same 4.6 HP motor as the winch. It draws its power from 2 gauge wire connected to the battery. Look at it's specs. When I air up my 35's I do three tires in the same time it takes guys with the bottle to fill four so I'm a bit slower but not much. The only thing I've come across faster than the HP is CO2; and CO2 is not that much faster in the real world. Unless you rev the engine up OBA is not much faster either. And if you rev the engine up you have an oil issue. The only compressor you can carry that does better is the twin cylinder Warn that sells for about 700 bucks.
