> 24 hourGreat compressor, fast to fill tires, I can actually inflate the tires faster than my staun deflators can remove the air. I also have mine mounted in the rear of the SUV and have posted a video no youtube to show approx how loud it is in my application. As always your results will vary. But I mounted it to 3/4 particle board (that I still need to carpet), and bolted that to some 1x1x1/8 angle steel stock, sandwich clamped to the legs of my Garvin interior rack using grade 8 hardware. I used F4 tape to protect the finish and provide sound/ vibration dampening. I wired it by extending the 10g power wire using 8G wire to the battery. Since there are 2 motors, there are 2 power leadss, so I used 2 8G wire runs fuse with a mini ANL fuse block at the battery with 40A fuses. Youtube video of the sound for reference for those who wish to mount it inside the rig with them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVDWN7hc_Fk

> 24 hourWhat can I say? It works and provides enough air for my ARB rear locker. I wouldnt expect it to do much more beyond lockers, so it really is a one-trick pony. Other than that, time will tell how reliable it is, but given that it is ARB made, I dont expect issues.

> 24 hourI dont understand the less than 5 star reviews. This is the best small compressor unit out there; nothing else comes close. It has a fan and a 100% duty cycle. I have mine mounted under the passenger seat of my Jeep and use it primarily to air up tires (with smaller compressor it takes a while to air up a 40 tire!). I also have it tied into my air locker manifold and can operate the lockers also. I recommend plumbing this into separate tank of 1 to 2 gallons. That way when moving from tire to tire it will keep running and build up air in the tank. The compressor shuts off at 150 and starts when the air pressure drops below 130. If you do not need that kind of pressure ARB also sells a 70/100 switch. It is imperative that you wire this properly as it draws a heavy current - each motor has its own 40 Amp fuse. I needed longer wires to mount it where I did and used a few ft of 8 Gauge wire. This is not a kit and is just the bare compressor and wiring. You will need to rig up a discharge line, quick coupler and hose to put it to use. I also like the fact that it is built in Australia and not China.

> 24 hourThis thing is a lot more powerful than I was expecting (used to lesser portable compressors). I mounted it under the hood of my 4Runner with a Slee off road bracket. Paired it with an air on board oem looking switch and it fit and wired up just fine. Inflated all 4 stock sized tires 265/70/17 pretty fast. Pretty expensive but it seems like a quality piece.

> 24 hourDoes what it’s suppose to do, I use it for airing back up my 35’s after a trail, in my opinion it’s pretty fast, a lot faster than the portable one I used before, soon I’ll be using it to provide air for a locker as well

> 24 houralthough it is easy to use, wasnt dependable after 2 useages. The first time i used it, I got 3 of the 4 tires inflated before overheating. second time same issue. Now it doesnt work. Was told by manufacture the brushes needed to be reset. Done. still now power to the compressor. Everything checked out fine. connection,power through the wiring harness. Just isnt worth the effort or money. now i just lost money that could have gone to a power tank.

> 24 hourIt seems that this was only meant for lockers. Using this to inflate tires appears to be a poorly thought out after thought. There is an over priced tire inflation kit. But you can buy a 1/4 NPT tee and put it the pressure sensor port and then have the air sensor and hose fitting on the tee. Most likely, everyone that buys this is going to need to modify the wiring harness to make it work. Since there are no kits you have to figure out what you need and where to get it. I tested it by dropping one of my 35” tires 10 psi then filling it. It took about a minute to get it back to 36 psi.

> 24 hourI installed this compressor on my last 3 jeeps to operate my Yukon air lockers
