I was thinking same thing bc need a project...and wanting to fill my 2nd Daystar switch panel!!! Quadratec has an exclusive onboard system but its 500 without tank and 6 with so pricey. Viair has a few too in 350-400 price point which quad said they WD recommend....with tank. That's is what I would do. We are local...CD help each other out

Yea I saw that two. A little pricy IMO. My normal installer (custom fab guy) said he could build me one with Vlair's small compressor and a 2-3 gallon tank. It would hold over 150 psi and I could run air tools off of it. Vlair would kick in just to fill the tank back up. He runs the same set up in his bagged trucks

And you mount the tank in the trunk

Yep! Considering you have a 4 door you wouldn't lose that much space.

Viair makes a tank mount but its a horrible location. You can mount a compressor under your hood and run from that. It'll take you around 3 minutes per tire from 12-28.

Not on a '12+. The new motor doesn't allow for a tank to be mounted in the same location that you were able to in the 07-11's.

That's what I have. That's what will take 3.5 minute to air up your tires.

I read something that said it will fill 4 37's in 16 minutes thats not that bad. With no tank

Have you ever though of adding a tank. Or do you think its not needed

Yeah I've thought about it but there is no easy mount, I'm to lazy to fab one up, I don't need one to fill tires and I go out with people that have power tanks or compressors if I ever need one.

I have this and a few other people that I know have the problem of it overheating after three 37's. I sent mine back they said it was fine but replaced the thermal sensor. Didn't fix the problem. Just a heads up.

The key is duty cycle. The higher the duty cycle the longer the compressor can run. You need to find a compressor like the viair 450c or 480c. These compressors are 100% duty cycle at 100psi. So they should be able to fill 4 tires+ without shutting down to cool off. The 400h is only a 33% duty cycle so it will have to cycle on/ off more to keep the temp down. I have a 480c and can fill 4 35" tires from 12 to 30 psi and run an impact gun without the compressor shutting off. Just my .02 and experience.

I have the ARB twin. It was about the same price as the VIAR. It's tucked up nicely under the passenger seat using a bracket made by Carolina metal masters. I can air up all 4 37s in about 5 mins. It's 100% duty cycle. It works great. It's 6.7 cfm or pretty close.
