Link to regulator on Amazon 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 amzn.to/3KAB1yq These are affiliate links so I do get a small commission if you purchase anything thru my link. AT NO EXTRA COST TO YOU! It’s a great way to support the channel. Update- I have removed the rear tank and added an air coupler right to the compressor. It is still very slow. Id recommend the twin instead or go with a c02 setup. Update 2! - I have moved the compressor to a harbor freight “pelican style” case and it is now a portable unit.

You all probably dont give a damn but does someone know a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb forgot the account password. I love any tips you can offer me!
@Nixon Uriel thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out atm. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
*Great air pump **MyBest.Tools** Faster than my old plug in pump and twice as handy without having to drag the cord around.And it works with my existing Ryobi drills battery.*
The single ARB compressor, for either model, isn't designed to fill and keep a tank like that at pressure. It was designed for the military as a "just in time" application for direct air feed to the accessory or for filling tires. It's duty cycle states its intended use. Besides that, love the idea. Checkout the MorrFlate kit wiwth the digital regulator. It not only fills all tires at once but regualtes them all as well. If you run out of CO2 offroad, hook up all 4 tires to the Morrflate and engage the valve and it will pull air from the 3 tires to balance the 4th. I have no affiliation with MorrFlate just my personal experience with their kit.
That tiny blue plastic 1/8” line is for running a locker. To move lots of low pressure air to air-up (40psi) need 1/4”. Arb twin is one of the fastest (I don’t have one).
I have since removed the blue line and put the fitting right to the compressor. It is still very slow (in my opinion) but gets the job done! I still prefer my c02 setup though 👍🏼
Going cheap in the beginning always costs you in the end, especially in trucks, cars and guns. The twin pump continuous (100 percent duty cycle) ARB compressor with the 2.5 gallon tank is always the way to go. More expensive ? Yes, worth it ? absolutely !
I agree with you on that one! I have a couple buddies with the arb twin compressor. It’s definitely a nice unit but it’s nicer when I’m done airing up with my tank and get to sit there and talk to them while they wait for theirs to finish 😂😂 We like to give each other a hard time with things. All in fun.
Great video man. And the clickbait worked! Who can fault anyone for that these days, so long as it’s not completely misleading. I’m gonna run the ARB one you have, but if that doesn’t work, your vid was helpful and well put together. Nice job!
Thanks man! So many people hate on the video for it but was simply just stating why I personally regret spending the money on it 😂 the compressor is still going strong and I still use it! Just prefer the tank over it for the speed 👍🏼
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Tanks are nice as well, however, with a single compressor, I can air four tires up in about 6 minutes and some change and not be drenched in the rain. It all comes down to the setup. That said, I do agree with you on the dual compressor. It does speed things up.
Have you ever done a test to see which method of airing up your tires last longer between air-ups? When I used power tanks and didn't wheel for over two weeks afterwards, my tires would bleed back down to the 18 psi I had them aired down to. The CO2 I re-inflated them with would seep out and I would need to re-inflate them with garage/shop air. CO2 molecules are smaller than regular air and seep out much faster. Nitrogen is the largest. That's why everybody want's nitrogen these days. It stays in the tires even longer than air before needing looked at.
Refilling with CO2 is always temporary. Coming from a Cycling background even before off-roading the first to do if you get back home if you had to fix a flat and do a quick shot of CO2 to refill is to purge the CO2 out and Reinflate with a good ol hand pump
That compressor was never meant to be used with a big air tank since it only has 50% duty cycle. It has to work really hard to keep that tank filled at the right pressure. Also, with the air tank, you are using up the compressed air faster than it can refill. You would have seen a lot better results with the twin and that air tank. Even the single compressor without the air tank would have performed better I think.
Thanks for the input! I've been considering deleting the tank under the bed and running a fitting right off the compressor for my back up air source 👍🏼
@@Adv4x4 Yes I would keep the compressor for few reasons: a) In case the CO2 bottle has a leak b) In case you forgot to fill it up or you are on the trail for a long time and wont be able to refill it c) If you are stuck with a slow leak and no spare and have to constantly fill up your tire to get you to safety d) To blow off water from your engine bay and electricals when you need to e) Help out other folks needing air without consuming your CO2 stash
I went from power tank to ARB twin because i open and close my softtop alot and the power tank would get in the way (since i wanted the tank up at an elevated area and out of the way)but it was awsome. Now ill see how the arb twin does
I want to get one to pressurize a water tank, I think I need regular air instead of co2. I would like it to be a multipurpose compressor. I guess it wouldn't matter what type of air if I got a water tank with a bladder
I have recently been running a Waterport go-spout with the hand pump pressurizing lid for my water needs and it’s been awesome. Nice not having to use air to pressurize it. May do a video on it soon!
The ARB single compressor is intended to pump up a tire reasonably quickly, not fill a large storage tank. To fill a storage tank you would need a twin cylinder compressor. The CO2 tank is holding CO2 at 3500PSI, so ofcourse it will inflate faster than a compressor. Shop air comes from a large storage tank, fed by a very big high volume compressor, and delivers air through about 3/4" lines. There is no way to compare those with any compressor..
Thanks for the input! I have since removed the tank and the single arb compressor is still lack luster for the $ in my opinion. It’s all personal preference. It’s still on the truck as my backup air and it will get the job done. When I was in Colorado airing up in the pouring rain before headed to Utah I sure was glad to have that c02 tank do the job quickly. As I’ve stated in the comments a twin would have done me better from the beginning. If I had any advice to give from this it’s spend the extra $ on the twin from the beginning.
For the money spent, The single arb compressor in my opinion, wasn’t worth it. A few other cheaper options out there that would have done the same job. I should have spent the extra money from the beginning on the twin
Márcio José I’m looking to get the absolute best on board air compressor for my 2019 raptor. I’m ordering high end products: 2 ton pro eagle big wheel, Maxtrax Xrteme traction boards, powertank, etc. Point is, I want the best. What would you say is the best?
Joe Momma if you want the best compressor I’d go no less then the arb twin compressor kit. Jailbreaker overland (on RU-vid & Instagram) has another brand compressor he says is better then the ARB I’d consider looking at his channel and IG to see if you can find that brand and look into it as well
Setting CO2 vs compressor is like comparing a handpump vs compressor. You could have bought a 300bar compressor and a 15l tank and do the compare... 😊😊👍
Bjarne Bergum most definitely agree with you! My point was there is a more cost effective alternative to many off-roaders "problem" that can be had at far less $ then a high dollar compressor/tank and install that leaves the system stranded to one vehicle. Just offering insight on what worked best for me that could benefit others. It may not be the best choice for everyone.
You are using the single compressor and it is way far from the tyres, which I mean the hose has to go a long way to reach inflation point, also it is near the engine and gets excess heat. Try the double you will change your mind. also the single one cannot keep a certain pressure of the air tank.
Hey man! I have a couple buddies with the dual compressor. It’s definitely faster then the single but it’s still way slower then c02. If I did it over again I’d of bought the double for sure 👌🏼
Interesting video enjoyed it very much. I think I’ll stick with my do ARB air compressor know the tank does air up your tires quicker for sure sometimes when I’m on trips I’m airing up and down multiple times which means there wouldn’t be enough air in the tank to do the job granted my air compressor takes a little longer but when I’m going from trails to Highway and back to trails again it just has the advantage for that application.
Yessir! Could work for some, but may not for others. Just wanted to put a an alternative out there for people just incase it suited their needs better. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the pointers & sweet set up!How many pounds of air does the tank hold? (Omit, I watched all) Does it loose air when the temperature/ altitude changes?
I would imagine extreme heat could trip the safety valve and cause the tank to empty. I'm no expert but common sense would say that is plausible. With that being said I have had no issues with mine in the summer months. As you could assume storing a tank like this in the passenger compartment itself isn’t advised. I would mount to exterior or keep in a truck bed.
The main thing I've noticed with the air systems ive had starting with a kline on board air system and then adding the second pump to it, all to ditch those pumps and go twin arb is that this isn't going to compete with your high pressure tanks but I can easily fill 44 inch tires if needed but none of the kits really include a proper aux tank . The onboard air kit came with a 2.8 gallon tank and ran it through 1/4 > Inch hose . I upgraded to 3/4 inch hose between the air lines and aux tank along with larger air hose from arb pumps to the tank and fill times decreased by a min each on 35s, next I just simply added a 5 gallon aux tank inside and when I'm pulling over to air up tires it takes next to no time to fill but decreased the time to air up tires and also have me enough air quantity and pressure to feel comfortable reseting a beed without fire if I get a flat
Well, at least Adv4x4 didn't slander the ARB compressor because it only lasted 6 months before it fell apart being used in a 300 degree environment when the instructions say ROOM TEMPERATURES. ANYBODY that mounts them under the hood should be sued by ARB for defamation and slander when they call their compressors crap when they fall apart.
@@donpaterson2397 Room temperature is approximately 70-80 F.. That is where the manufactures that make these compressors suggest is the OPTIMAL operating temp's. When I see air cooling fins on a motorcycle that does not have a radiator / electric fan, I DO NOT let is sit in the middle of the Sahara Desert at 150 degrees, idling and not moving, no air crossing these cooling fins by actually driving the vehicle, and then call the vehicle CRAP when the motor seizes up due to inadequate cooling. I have read/watched many write-ups / videos that say "this" or "that" compressor is crap because it only lasted 3 months before it fell apart. They are too STUPID to realize that when mounted under the hood or beside their exhaust pipes, that compressor turns on and starts working 100 degrees ABOVE it's HIGHEST recommended operating temps. Then it kicks off because it's too hot. They let it cool off for 10 minutes and turn it on again for 1-2 minutes before it kicks itself off again due to overheating. THEN THEY CALL THE COMPRESSOR CRAP!!! I just know that when I see air cooling fins on ANY piece of equipment, it needs air moving across those fins in order to cool properly!!
What is the adapter that you have attached to the end of the hose, before the inflator? You mentioned you bought it off the Cornwell Tool truck. I guess my question really is what's its purpose? Thanks.
It functions as a coupler to allow you to attach any sort of air tool to the hose. Unfortunately that tool truck hasn't come by in awhile. I could use a couple more of those. I have been looking online for them a little bit- but no luck.
@@Adv4x4 After I left my comment I realized it's probably just the female coupler that attaches to the male threads on the end of the air hose, but for some reason when you mentioned it in the video, and didn't refer to it as the "coupler", I thought it was an inline filter or maybe a regulator of some sort. Mystery solved. Thanks for the reply, though.
The speed sure was nice when I was airing up in the pouring rain after getting off a mountain pass in Colorado. It’s all personal preference. Just wanted to put my opinion out there for other people who are looking for the same kind of solution 👍🏼
Justin Dillon this is a load range E tire, it is rated for 80psi cold. Besides that fact, I aired up to 60 psi for demonstration purposes I do not drive at those pressures it would be very rough. Hope that information helps you comprehend things a little better 👍🏻
So, a 10min video to say it's not as fast as you'd like. I'll admit the title worked to get me to watch (some of it anyway), and to comment, but I was expecting an actual problem with the compressor. I have air lockers, so this alternative is of no use to me.
Thanks for the input. May not be the solution every one needs but it is what worked for me & could work for others. If I could do it over i would have gone with the twin compressor initially👍🏼
