On board air

Wanting to get OBA for my truck. Just wondering what you guys have and what do you recommend?

I have 31"s currently and might go up to 33"s. Also, may get ARB lockers in the future.

 

bump, anyone?

 

I use a 10-lb Powertank.

My previous rig (84 4runner) had a home-grown A/C compressor-powered system.

 

I highly recommend a co2 tank. I have a 20lb tank and it fills up one 33x12.50x15 from 12psi to 30psi in 45 seconds.

 

Via Air is one of the best options in OBA, but they are pricey and room is at a premium on your rigs unless you want to loose some bed space or the spare tire location.

A PowerTank is a much cheaper and user friendly option IMO, but since you might be doing ABR lockers, Via air is the way to go.

 

Unless you lend it to a friend and get it back with no "air" right before you hit the trail.

 

Yeah... Haha

Always remember to check it before you go trail riding!

 

I've been looking into the Viaiar portable air, which price wise isn't too bad and it's a lot cheaper than a PowrTank. is the only benefit of the CO2 tank, just faster fill ups?

 

Much faster fill ups, no strain on the motor, less likely to fail also.

 

I have a viair portable I bought off CL brand new for $100, it is the 440p and hasn't let me down.

 

good points. :thumbup: did not think about those.

 

thanks for feedback. that was a great price new. I saw it on Amazon for $160ish over the weekend. looking into the 400P automatic which I saw on amazon for about $240.

 

I am thinking the only reason to install OBA is for air lockers? I don't see any other benefit.

 

That's pretty much the only benefit over a co2 tank.

 

This seems to happen on a run I go on every so often.

 

We have an assortment of Both Co2 systems, and Viair Products. Our Viair page does not yet have the portable kits on it yet, but we can certainly get them if anyone is interested.
