    4 run, 2 don't
    Had mine for awhile, my friend had his even longer.

    The most accurate gauge I used was the one that came with my Powertank; then again they're like 120-150 bucks separately but mine came as part of a whole kit.

    First one I put together, noticed the fluid film. Extreme salty environment. Of course you can fold it under your frame or under your hood etc..D9599F15-AE81-4A4B-8BF5-B20012971E12.png

    ARB twin on a desertdoesit mount under the passenger seat. Way overkill, but it's convenient.

    Best bang for the buck, ask me how I know. Napa FTW!

    I got both ARB: high output and twin, 20lb co2 tank, and the Napa brand. Co2 is Mt go to method but can get pricey. But so far, Napa is preferred. It's portable, not vehicle mounted, hi output and air the 35s & 40" at a good rate. Price is lower when compared to other similar brands. My buddy bought one for less than $140 after tax last month.

    I debated going the ARB onboard route mounted under the hood, but decided to pick up a Viair 300p and see how much I use it. I've only used it a couple times so far but it fits behind the rear seat and has been fast enough for me so far.

    Has anyone mounted a compressor like this under the hood? I have this one and was thinking of mounting it under the hood but I think dirt and water would probably damage it? Is my only option for under the hood an ARB?

    I’ve been using my Viair 400P since 2014. I upgraded the cheap plastic hose to a better one, and have never had an issue with the compressor. Going to the low 20s psi to 38 does take a few minutes per tire.
