Trying not to hijack anyone's thread. I realize I don't have 35s/ 37s so don't start on me about tire size. I had a York on my last Jeep w/ tank and now have the ARB dual compressor and was wondering if it's efficient without a tank. I have a stock JK with 31s on it (don't start) and I aired down the tire to 15psi and aired it up to 25psi in 38 secs. In relation to the tire tire size does that sound relatively fast without a tank? I've read a lot the the threads here but wanted to get opinions after putting up the inflation time I experimented with this evening.
Is this a fast inflation time without a tank? -

Sounds pretty quick to me.
The Jeep will have 35's on it but I wanted to make sure this thing was worth the money I shelled out on it. I was going to go 33s but w/ 4 doors I think the next tire size will be 35. Not sure if my mom can get into the Jeep with 37s on it so it will be 35s till I figure something out. I didn't want to put these 31s on there but that Mojave run took out 2 tires at once at the wrong time.:bleh:

What would you recommend for 37's? I have a small smitty compressor but that thing would take almost 10 mins a tire with 35's on my 2 door I seriously doubt it'll air up the 37's lol

I use the viar 400P for my 37s. I don't have beadlocks so don't really go below 12-14 PSI. But it has been pretty good to me this far and doesn't take forever to get back to 28PSI.
It's not a twin ARB, but it wasn't as expensive either. You can run a single ARB, but the Viar actually has a better rate than the single.

I have an ARB twin and had a 2 gallon tank attached. When airing up (35s that I drop to 12psi and then back to 28psi) the compressor would kick on almost immediately with the tank. I eventually took the tank out (more room and one less point of failure) and my times remained the same. Stick with just the compressor. From what I think I know (which is always suspect), the tank would help with lockers and perhaps tools that use less CFM than your compressor produces.

Oh ok I'll look into that one, I was thinking about going the powertank route but those setups almost cost as much as a twin arb lol

From one stocker to another you're airing up really fast. At the moment I'm using a POS cigar lighter portable unit that takes exactly 10mins from 15 to 32lbs. I think I read a Tom Clancy novel this summer while waiting to air up at the end of the day. You're definitely good!:yup:
I spit out my dinner laughing at this. That was kind of funny.

Haha! That's funny. My uncle - in-law has one of those plug in ones. With my Pwerplant i filled up my 37's from 10# to 30# and then did 3 of his 35's from 15# to 30# while he was still in his first tire! Tha
