Delta's 2002 Tacoma 4WD Build and BS

Nothing under the rear seats at all?

 

Not that I'm aware of. The backs fold down and the bottoms are bolted down to the floor

 

Well dang. I tried. Ha ha.

 

Yeah I'm not sure where I could put it inside the cab. Probably going in the engine bay. I can always just clean it when it gets dirty...

 

If you're looking an air compressor, Viair will be better bet. The little ARBs will burnout if you try doing anything else that isn't locking the ARB Air Lockers.

 

Was leaning to a Viair 440 or whatever it's called. My thing is that I want to have a 3-5 gallon air tank also

 

Either way, I'd go with either a Viair or a 15lb tank, assuming you're just airing up tires.

 

Yea, that'll work.

This^^ they make a 100% duty cycle compressor that I would go with if I had it to do over.

 

I want to fit the largest air tank I can under the bed without limiting ground clearance. BUT, that's in the long term. I won't do that until after I relocate the rear shocks.

 

If you're putting a tank under the bed, then make sure to build a skid plate for it.

 

*cough*co2*cough*

 

Oh for sure. That wouldn't be an issue at all.

I know I know... I don't want to have to carry around a bottle and then have to have it refilled too

 

Meh. Refill it what? Once every two years? How often do you air down? And you have 33s. 20lbs lasts a long time with 33s.

Bottle is no different then the tank. Not that bulky and easy mounting solutions.

 

Hmm, I didn't know it lasts that long... Thing with just an air tank is that I'd have it hidden and you wouldn't be able to see the system at all. No big ugly tank anywhere taking up space in my midget bed

 

Put it on the rear bumper or don't leave it in the truck at all times.

When I had 33s I filled up a lot and many friends with it before it ran out.

It lasts a long time and if you aren't wheeling regularly then I won't be a problem.

Long as you stay with 33s though compressor is fine. I just like but if you ever go to 35s. Screw that. Co2 for sure

 

Agreed. For filling tires CO2 all the way.

 

35"s aren't in the foreseeable future while it's a daily driver. What's your opinion on having a 5 gallon air tank under the bed? I think it might be neat, but not sure how quickly it'll get depleted. My main use will be airing up tires, and mayyyybe using an impact gun for emergencies

 

Not worth it for tires at all. Air tools sure. But unless you use them often. Tank is worthless. The compressor won't catch up to fill the tank once it's depleted after filling a tire

 

See that was my concern

 

Id skip it. Get the dual arb if you can afford it. Or the puma one is 100% duty and puts out some major cfm.
