Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi all,

I am looking for a serious duty 12v air compressor,

Every one I have seen so far are pretty b grade, and I would not fit to my own vehicle - so I couldn't sell them to our customers.
Must be capable of pumping 8x 37" tyres from 15-30psi.

Happy to look at industrial units, and budget of up to 1k if need be.

Endless air do not do a bracket and I am too time poor to develop one.

Best regards,

Justin

Bru I ran the ARB twin motor unit in the TJ running 37"s, was really good. Aired up all 4 quite quickly.
Plus it was relatively compact for its output, and it's rebuildable as its basically two of their normal compressors bolted together. Parts are readily available.
Whilst I never tested it, it's said you can run air tools off it.
With a budget of $1,000 you could almost get two of these working in conjunction via an air tank, that would be really fast.

I got the single arb
done alot of work with it

will go the dual arb next time

wiring has been iffy around the connections.
plugs have melted on the old school and current single arb stuff

very reliable otherwise

Just upgrade the connections nearest compressor if you were going to add it to your range
this is where all mine have melted.

The boss is exactly same output by the way...

The Boss might compare to the single ARB, But its no comparison to the twin ARB.

I replaced my Boss compressor with the twin ARB.

I meant the big boss

170 to arb 174ltrs a minute

So did i

Thanks guys,

I have found a massive unit from the states - draws 150A and has a continuous rating. Suitable for air tools without a tank! About 3k though.

I'll have a look at the twin ARB's, that said I have purposely avoided ARB over the last 5 years, due to having a major issue with every item I purchased.

Whilst from my experience the twin ARB is better than the Boss compressor, I dont think id like ether in a commercial apllication.

The guys at sidewinder ABR do a decent sized 12 volt compressor with tank. While it's a chinese made unit the guy who owns ABR is an electrical engineer and does some really nice stuff. I had his isolators in all my cars and they've worked flawlessly for years

Yep, had an ABR Sidewinder in 2 x Jeeps and now the BT, works a treat.

Don't get one of these:


It has a tank and half decent CFM (can't recall off the top of my head) but I've had to replace some components and now the pump hardly works at all (I am yet to get into the guts of it to find out why)..

so a fter a few years I would say they just don't go the distance..

Thanks for that. I nearly bought one a few months back - but they only had 24v in stock.

I have become a dealer for the best, most powerful 12v compressor available. Getting final pricing now.
They are $1900USD but used by the military etc. Draw up to 180A and put out 15 CFM at 0psi and 9cfm at 50psi.
Basically a York compressor with a continuous duty 2.2hp motor.

Big dollars, but I will not have Chinese crap on my website or for sale as it only weakens our brand.
I have not found anything else I could put my name to.

Have looked at pacbrake - but cannot find the Australian dealer yet, and extreme aire are about to be no longer supplied in aus.

I'm going to keep working on it, and find something better value.

Your input is appreciated fellas.

Cheers Bru

Wouldn't the $1900 price tag make you time rich to develop an endless air bracket?

The wiring and switching would be a few hundred $ alone to run what you are planning on.

No to mention the extra noise! Unless the the electric compressor noise we hear is the piston?

Pfft... like you worry about noise - you are as deaf as I am.

Endless air is on its way (great minds think alike). Hopefully see it tomorrow, so I can develop it over the weekend. Hours of fun I am sure!

EVA endless air is coming to a dealer near you!

WHAT?

Even to run my boss compressor the recommended way cost over $200 in wires and switches. A customer could have 2x endless airs (if there is room on the engine) for less than 2/3 price and pump twice the cfm.

Cant wait to see the next developments....due for beers

I take it you were talking about these

yep. Just setting up our dealership now.

Was an Aussie made one similar - not sure what happened to ot.

Now a dealer for Oasis! Now a dealer for Boss air. Dealer for endless air! Call for pricing!

I have a brand new in box EA90 here cheap! Wont fit without moving sway bar mounts ;(
