The Pirhett Ship BS Build

both? Im trying to figure it out right now. I know defconbrix runs only the arb dual and no tanks. but looking at options right now. what do you have?

 

Neither right now. I'm getting a co2 tank here soon though cause it sure does are up tires faster and last a good while if you use it properly (right) whichever way you want to call it. When I get my arb locker in the front with my gears I'm going to get a dual and use the co2 tank to air up my tires

 

Here's my $.02:
I have a cheap Vaiar (with alligator clips to the battery), but I wheel with guys that have the constant duty Vaiar with a 2.5 gallon tank and the Dual ARB compressor. I can fill up 8 tires, but my little compressor struggles on the last two- works great for me, not so good to help out people on the trail. My buddy with the constant duty Vaiair does 2.5 trucks by the time I'm done with mine. The ARB guy is sitting in the shade sipping margaritas while we're all crouched down by our tires getting sweaty and he's already filled up 4 trucks. My opinion- it's worth the money. I only use mine for my own tires, and it's better than nothing in case of an emergency, but I wouldn't plan on running anything off it (lockers or tools). It works for blowing the dust off my dash after wheeling too.

 

I honestly just put mine in when I finished up my Relentless bumper. So I have no experience with it yet. I've heard great things about it which is why I went with it!

And @Pirhett

Dude Rhett don't get the icon add a leaf just like these guys are saying. I had it at first and once I started actually loading my bed with camping gear and stuff, those suckers sagged so badly and never bounced back. Go straight for a full expo leaf pack. I love my Dakars and I've also heard great things about the All Pro Expo pack.

 

ARB. You can't beat the volume of air that little guy puts out. The Vaiair constant air system with a tank is bigger and takes up more room, and still cannot keep up with ARB. It's worth the money IMO. When my Vaiair craps out, that's what I'm doing.

 

Rhett, definitely go ARB dual. I got mine with an 18% GB discount when I bought all the other ARB crap I bought. @rogs6266 just bought an ARB dual for like a dollar more than I did shipped. Hopefully he'll chime in here and share where he got it.

@rogs6266 and I are both Sports so OBA and lockers are a must. We should be installing OBA here soon before he and I make the trek to ECGS for locker installs. Right now we're looking into tanks to use with the ARB duals so we pneumatic tools with higher lpm requirements can be used.

Can't go wrong with the ARB...

 

If you're looking at an ENGO winch, I had great use out of the 10,000S I had on the FJ. My advise, kill switch that bitch. I had mine engage in an intersection in downtown Charleston and shoot the ProLink 25-30 feet through the intersection.

In the Tacoma, I went with Warn...but will still put a kill switch on it.

 

Oh okay, yeah it was a package used so figured I'd get it and put my own add a leaf but I've had my eyes on Dakar or an atlas leaf pack. I've heard some bad stuff about expos so prolly won't go that route. Thanks for looking out!

 

Check out discountbandit.com

I ordered and had it delivered in like 3 days. I was very skeptical about spending that much money on my first purchase through a .com website i have never heard of. Well its legit!! What they do is search companies that are selling what it is you are looking for and match you with the one that has best price. They then match you up with that company and arrange the negotiated price for you.
So when i purchased mine, they paired me with a company that had the best price. The invoice is sent from that company not from discount bandit. Once you are paired for purchase all returns questions and warrantirs are delt with that specific company not discount bandit.
I paid $455 delivered, no strings attached or extra fees. Like i said i received it very quickly. Extremely happy with discount bandit and will certainly purchase things from them again. Only problem is that they dont sell everything like Amazon does. For some reason only specific items.
Take a look into the site and search things out.
For me, i saved over $30 from the very cheapest i could find prior to discount bandit. Ebay guy had a good price with make me an offer. Best i could get out of him was $485. Let me know if you have any further questions. -Ryan

 

FYI - Discount Bandit has great pricing on all winches !! Go to the automotive section, they start on the first page. Along with the twin and single ARB compressors.

 

That's awesome! Thanks for the tip man! Definitely need to save up for it but this is great advice! I'm sure whoever follows my page will want to know all this info. Thanks again bro

 

Huh?

 

lol I get it now, you know blonde mentally

 

@TacoSTIG

 

@Pirhett your hit list priority really comes down to what you're looking to do with the truck, where you want to go, and when. If I had to re-prioritize anything I'd move recovery gear/oba/winch to the front of the list. You're truck is pretty darn capable as is and will take you all over the place. Being prepared for getting stuck would be a smart move not only for yourself but for anyone you may come across on the trail that needs a hand.

 

yeah this seems to be the trend for what I need to do! thanks man!
I know most of what I need but any other suggestions

 

so sweet man! did a hell of a job fabbing that up

 

I have a small batch ready to go... that goes for anyone lurkin...

 

how much are you planning?
