Reviews: ARB 4x4 Accessories On-Board Air Compressors

Great air output for such a small compressor. Highly recommended.

This compressor part number comes with a wiring harness for the compressor and two lockers from battery to compressor to dashboard. The lockers come with their own switches and valves. The major parts of the compressor can be rotated about the axis of the motor to allow easier configuration for the space available. Everything seems substantially made, heavy, well labelled, and good directions.

Having a very small 4x4 this compressor inflates my tires extremely fast. Guessing approx 15-30 sec/tire from 26 psi for fast off road driving to 40psi for hwy driving. I have very small volume tires compared to most 4x4's however. We have the same compressor on our work vehicles and it will do a 265/75-16 in approx 2-3 min/per tire from 15 psi to 36 psi. If you have a larger vehicle that requires higher pressures and have larger tires I would recommend the dual compressor if you have the budget for it. This compressor could still do it w/o any problems I'm sure, it would just take awhile to get say a 285/75-16 up to 80 psi from 15 psi for example. This is still very very much faster than any cigarette lighter operated compressor and you won't regret getting it.

I put this in a 87 4runner, and the install was easy and the harness made things even easier. Also 4wheelparts took care of me, and got me a spare part that was missing over night.

Today was the first day using this. 32" Jeep Rubicon Mt's-20psi to 35psi in 1:40, per tire. (if I just clip the air chuck on the tire to deflate, it takes 1:10 from 35-20, so that gives you an idea of how much air this thing is pushing.) Box doesn't vibrate around on the ground at all, not to loud. If I set the box in front of the truck(full size), the hose will reach both back tires. air hose will be hot when you disconnect it from the compressor after 4 tires, careful. If you haven't seen the whole package, its probably going to be smaller than you think it is. Was considering waiting until ARB's dual compressor, portable beast is available-latest is end of august. (it flows 3 times as much, 100 duty cycle, can run air tools, & not much physically larger case. But, this one is good enough for me.

The wiring diagram and instructions are simple and easy to assist if modifying the harness length for your application. Definitely go with the One-Off Fabrication's master cylinder mount if attaching to a Jeep JK.

ARB makes the best products for all of our offroad needs!!

Works great. Will use often

two minutes to fill from 15 psi to 32 psi on 33" tire.

Make it smooth ride

This is a great product that is easy to install and compact enough to fit in many locations. The ability to swivel the tank and fittings based on the install location really increased the possible locations for mounting this device in my truck. It runs great and fill up the tires very quickly with the optional air-up kit.

great product from arb

I use this air compressor to full my tires on the trail and it works great!

Replaced an older model ARB compressor with this updated model, found it to be quieter, easier to mount, easy to service (filter), and flawless in operation in critical situations. Used in a 1985 CJ-7 built for extreme trails, Moab. Found nothing to improve.

pros:This compressor is the perfect size, it will fit perfectly under any hood. cons:If you use it to air up 4 tires after a trail ride be carfull not to burn your fingers when you disconect the air hose, this baby gets HOT.

The staff were great and the installation was perfect. They replaced my aging ARB compressor with the newer unit and everything looks and runs great. I also had them toss in a Optima Battery to clean up my wiring mess , they hooked up the winch and accessories cleanly. I also got my parts back too.
