Okay. So, mods...

Thanks for the reply/info! Looking at doing Powertank vs. a compressor. Thoughts??

 

Im disappointed you guys are trying to deter this guy from spending 20-30k on mods.

Buddy better start a build thread and an overlander insta.

 

As long as you have 12v power, you have a compressor. A power tank is finite on any given instance

 

I vote the OP goes with a belt driven compressor.

 

K. Makes sense. Any trips with more than say 4 air downs the tank is not prudent. Just thinking in terms of time spent airing up. So, some have suggested the ARB hard wired, but I kinda like the

$240 Viair 400p - 40043 Portable Compressor Kit. Tire Pump, Truck/SUV Tire Inflator, For Up to 35" Tires

Viair 400p.

 

Not meaning to pry and I couldn’t read through 7 pages but I hope the 23K in mods are in cash and not 20%+ credit cards, reverse mortgages, cash out refi....

 

I have the arb single and am looking at the double for no reason other than quicker. A friend of mine has a pair of outback extremes that will air up 4 37s in the time I air up 2 32s.

 

I’ve got the dual ARB compressor and it pushes more than enough air to air up my 33s. I can do all 4 in roughly 5 to 6 minutes from 15 psi to 35 ish.

 

No credit cards. It's essentially a weekend toy. I couldn't justify financing something intended just for fun! I like where your head is!

 

I know it seems kinda lame to think about time spent airing up...have a beer while tires air. But, if we spend the kinda time we hope/plan to spend, over say a year, time can add up!!

 

Yeah, most of my wheeling buds have duals so i am always 2nd to last. The guy with the walmart compressor takes the heat off me though.

 

Going thru all of this, looking at al the different options for upgrades, etc. It gets a bit overwhelming! Like I said previously, I don't want to have to upgrade upgrades! Just wanna get it right the first time as best I can!!

 

if i had 68k to burn on a vehicle it wouldn't be a modded taco...

 

Friday threads on a Thursday. It’s like eating Arby’s at a Wendy’s.

 

So, I really like these wheels, but couldn't get my head around the chrome nuts on the faux beadlock. I just received back some black oxide button head bolts coated so they wouldn't rust and like the change!!

 

Hard wired, under the hood?? I know they are out there. I just look under the hood and don't see the room!!

 

That’s where mine is. I built a bracket for it. Mine is a 2nd gen MT though so I’ve got a lot of real estate under there.

 

Yeah, I would DEF wanna mount mine like this, just clean and tidy! I may have to do the Viair option and throw it on the roof!!

 

Primary tire jack. I use the lift-mate, it is excellent.
Secondly self recovery manual winch.
Tertiary as a cross beam to protect my lights when transporting long lumber lengths or ladders.

I typically store it in the gear box unless I have luggage or parcels in there then I clamp it to the upper bar as was the case in this photo.

 

Glad you use it for more than a truck ornament like most. I also keep one around as a secondary winching device as well as for jacking applications. Truth be told, I’d prefer to use my bottle jack to lift the truck if at all possible though.
