The Lair

Yeah, I have a regulator, 20' coiled CO2 hose, and basic air chuck on the way. It was $95 from wheelers.

 

Dang tempted to just give the cash for everything. Just might want to look into different hand chuck. Which one you got?

 

It was some $5 one from wheelers offroad. It's in their CO2 section, which is where I got everything.

 

my portable viair compressor 400p is now up for grabs.

 

The 400p is a nice system!

 

Just so you know I did pm wheelers offroad to try and cancel my order, since it hasn't shipped yet. If they cancel it with no fees, I'm gonna go for it since it's easier that way.

 

Go for?

Excuse me sir but if we kill all the golfers they’ll be nobody to play the course.

Not golfers gofers!

But what are you going for my Viair?

 

It’s okay. The air chuck needs some love but it’s been holding up okay so far.

 

I placed my order with wheelers offroad for a CO2 regulator, CO2 hose and air chuck. They haven't shipped it yet, so if I can cancel it with no penalty then I will. If there's a 20% fee or something, I'll just get the order shipped anyways, and sell it to you at the cost I bought it for. The whole set up would be $135.

For air, I'm gonna go with a twin ARB compressor.

I gotcha.

Do you think there is a benefit to having a regulator with the pressure gauge built in?

The PSI gauge, no. The way CO2 works it'll read a constant pressure, and then just immediately drop when it's depleted. The only way to know when it's getting close to empty is to weigh the bottle.

As far as adjustable, there's sorta a benefit. You can crank up the PSI to around 200 and use that high pressure to seat the bead of a tire. The one I was going to go with was the fixed 150 PSI regulator.

 

That’s the one that was the one I was looking at also. Hopefully the “send it”

might be too high for your price range..

 

That's what I'm planning on! I want to get a manifold and run a quick disconnect to the front bumper where the CB hole is, and then another one to the back when that bumper is ready.

 

I have actually lowered my compressor down more, so I can use the ARB chuck that comes in the inflator kit, and I used that Tee that comes with it, to run a 3/8" air line to the rear bed cubby. I actually dont use it anymore because the air line from ARB (25 ft) is plenty long enough to reach the back of the truck (and I like to open my hood so I can show off the SC ). I was thinking about getting a coiled air line.. I have also used the rear chuck to fill an air mattress if needed. Also that inflator is nice, but I think @inesshell has the digital one. Might be worth it to look into. Im not sure if you can set it and forget it, or if you have to stay at each wheel.

I think @Subway4X4 modified his, so you dont need to bend at each wheel. You might be able to stand.

If you are planning later to use air tools, I think you can as is, with the compressor, but you also might want to look into a tank. That is what I am thinking about now (among a thousand other things). Here is a screenshot I took from somewhere.

You dont need the ARB manifold yet. Its for running lockers.

I also have a bunch of spare parts that i can give you, if you’re interested?

 

Thanks! I am thinking of adding a tank at some point. I'd put it where my spare tire is right now, under the platform. I plan on mounting the compressor on the back rail of the bed, near one of the windoors. I don't have any room under my hood, and this'll save me from popping my hood each time.

 

Things are getting slow at work...

have to find a way to look busy lol
