I have the ARB twin setup under the front passenger seat. Keeps everything nice and clean. It is also useful to give the wife a stir when things get to quiet.Just want some insight on a reliable source of air for airing back up after a trail run. Been using a conventional car compressor and I'm now in search of something reputable and reliable for off road use - mounted on board or not. What compressors you guys running and why?
Wanna go Jeeping this weekend?I usually rent a two dollar hooker they can blow a 40 in a couple minutes
Cool air is more dense so if the air is cooler going into the compressor, the tires will inflate faster. Maybe you can get cold air from the air conditioning system.It’s become obvious the ARB compressor mounted under the hood gets REALLY hot. I mean hot enough to burn your fingers through leather gloves hot. That’s before the compressor is started! The under hood heat from running off-roading gets the compressor cases and air fittings painfully hot. The temperature gets worse when airing up. Something has to be done.
Ideas I’m toying with include designing cooling ducts and a fan and moving the intakes to where they pull in cold air. Ha! Won’t that be a hoot to add “cold air intakes for ARB compressor “ to my list of modifications!
I just open the hood and deal with it. Let it cool for a few minutes before, during and after airing up.

Seriously?Routing the hose was a little tricky, but we got her done-

Duel cold air intakes?! The more snorkels the better.
LOL... I'm pretty sure that's photoshop SharkeyWhat in the actual fuck?!? Maybe I’m alone, but I use my air conditioning much more than my compressor. Can’t imagine sacrificing the former for the latter.
I’m pretty sure it’s not though…..LOL... I'm pretty sure that's photoshop Sharkey
