On Board Air Setup

interesting. Thanks.

Does this block the spare tire tool from accessing the hoist, thing?

 

Not sure, it probably does. I'm not carrying a spare

 

ahh. thanks

 

The tank will fit on the front side of the bed also but you still can't get a spare in there, tank hangs too low.

 

This is my compressor. I plan on adding this tank I'm linking from lowes for volume at a later time in the bed. Of course the tank will be easily removable.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, what's the benefit of the tank? I'm getting ready to put in an ARB dual compressor to run locker, air up tires, and possibly air powered tools in emergency.

 

You need volume to run any kind of tool for longer than just a pull of the trigger. Airing up tires may be quicker with tank, but definitely not needed.

 

Excellent, so impact driver == tank.

And you just pressurize the tank using the compressor I assume?

 

I'm not savvy on terminology, but yes.

The compressor wouldn't be able to keep up with the air tools draw, so to compensate you pressurize a tank to aid in the tools draw. Given the tank may need recharging depending on how steadily you're using the tool, but with ARB Dual compressor being 100% duty cycle you should be all set.

 

I would like to have this system on my truck too. The primary purpose is for airing tires. Does the ARB a good pick to get? Or tank of CO2?

 

If airing tires is only concern I'd get one you attach to battery or plug into bed. Can be moved to other vehicles.
