What is everyone using for their on board air for airing up after off roading? I was talking with someone that mentioned a Co2 bottle, maybe if that sounds right.

I like the idea of just having a bottle on board but I suppose an air compressor is not out of the question either.

 

I am having the ARB onboard compressor installed today, but that will also go with my air lockers. I am not a fan of CO2 bottles. I have used them in the past, and they can freeze up. I would rather get a Warn Powerplant or a pulley driven compressor than a CO2 bottle.

 

I use a Warn compressor with a built-in 1/2 gallon tank. Not inexpensive, but I can move it if around and run tools off of it. I was at an event where the guy in the very back needed air - all the onboard systems but mine were built-in, and so were useless.

Only issue with CO2 is to keep it charged - an empty bottle is useless.

I have an unlimited supply on compressed air.

 

I have a quickair 3 that I rescued from the trash and fixed with a 2 gallon smittybilt tank (great value). The QA3 only provides 60-70 psi but works very well for my horns and tires.

 

I have the ARB and like it. Depending on your budget you can also buy a decent compressor at Pep Boys for about $50.

 

I have a warn powerplant and it's pretty fast. If I didn't go that route I would have got the ARB compressor mounted under the hood, it's not as fast but it's discrete and could work with lockers, should I ever spring for those.

 

I am considering the Viair 400PA-RV. Talked with a member (GeeBee) and he has this system and it inflates his 35x12.50 0-30psi in approx. 4 mins/tire. I just need to save some funds to get it.

 

I'm running the ARB compressor under the hood, purchased from NR 4x4 for a great price. I find myself using the compressor a lot more than I thought I would, even at my house. All of the neighborhood kids think my JK is the bike tire fill up station.

So far I've been very happy with the kit and, down the road, if I move up to ARB Lockers the wiring is already set up and ready to go.

 

Here is what I am running:

I have the ARB compressor, love it!!!!!!
