well I received item really fast(thank you for that) unfortunately I tested it, doesnt work, the box in came in was in shreds they put in another box that was intacted, It looked like it was a previous return, not really sure, they said its not returnable, so I have a big paper weight, use caution!!!

Ordered this from a warehouse deal as new in original box. Even had the inspection sticker on it from Amazon that it was all there. Parts were missing (air filters, switch, brackets, the instructions, and wire harness was cut and spliced, scratches all over the compressor). Needless to say it wasnt in like new condition and had been Installed and then thrown back in the box. I know its not ARBs fault but come on Amazon, do a thorough inspection before you put it back on the shelf. The person that bought it before me basically stole a bunch of parts and through it back in there. The only reason for three stars is because ARB compressors are great and the product itself deserves five stars.

This ARB air compressor is a fantastic piece of equipment. I installed it in the engine compartment of my Jeep Wrangler. I can now air my tires up after having some off road fun. Works like a charm.

I have a 1998 Cherokee that has had an air locker of some sort since about 2000. For many years I had a Quick Air II compressor which served me well but not perfectly. I had several issues with it over the years. It finally quit completely about 6 years ago. After that I installed an on-board air compressor driven by the engine. This too turned out to have issues and I abandoned it. After that I returned to an electric compressor and bought a small Harbor Freight compressor just to run the lockers (all of my other setups were used for airing up and the lockers.) The Harbor Freight compressor turned out to be nothing but problems. Obviously you get what you pay for. The first one broke the pin on the crankshaft. I modified the compressor to use a bolt in the crankshaft and that fixed the problem. Then I had problems with it over heating. Finally one of the reed valves on the piston broke. I mention all of this to highlight all of the problems Ive had over the years with something that is dead simple. I finally decided to quit messing around with junk and go with a compressor made by a company who specializes in air lockers and also has years of experience and a great reputation. Looking at the price of this tiny little guy I though it was very pricey for what I was getting. At the end of the day though, Ive spent much more on unreliable and frustrating solutions. One major benefit, in addition to quality and reliability, is the fact that it is already set up to accommodate two solenoids and a pressure switch. I also believe you can get an air up kit for it if youd like. I decided not to run an air gauge as I didnt feel I need one but I believe it will also accommodate one if you would like. In addition it includes wiring harnesses to connect everything. I cannot comment on whether they worked or not because everything was already wired by me from my past setups so there was no need to read invent the wheel. One thing Id like to say is I dont think I would recommend the air up kit for this compressor. Not to use for airing up tires any way. If you were to use it for airing up balls and small items, maybe, otherwise get a larger portable compressor for airing up. Harbor Freight does make a larger portable compressor that looks suspiciously like a Viair and works quite well. All of this said, this is a great little compressor for running your air lockers. It airs up quickly and has plenty of capacity for this job. It is very compact which makes finding a place to mount it that much easier. After years of messing around with my air source on every wheeling trip it was nice to have a system that just plain worked and needed zero intervention! The price for this little guy may seem a bit high but in reality it is worth every penny.

I just sold a vehicle which had an ARB compressor and it got a LOT of use over 5 years, so I didnt have to think twice about getting another one for my new vehicle. You know there is plenty of thought put into the kit and an eye toward quality when you see how well the wiring loom is put together, which makes for an easy and clean installation.

Seems like a quality product. I traded for a portable unit. I did not want to deal with all the wiring and finding a suitable place to mount the switch.

Been using it about 16 months now and it has begun to squeal like a pig, I am talking with ARB USA now. Lets see how this turns out Update #1 They are requesting that I ship it to them (at my expense) Will let you know what that cost? Update #2 Finally got around to sending it back , $18.75 to ship it via USPS Flat Rate Large box. Sent it on the May 17th. , they got it on the May 19th. Update #3 I just heard from them yesterday. even though they couldnt replicate the problem (Screeching when cold) , they are replacing the unit with a new one anyway (+1 for customer service) Update 4. The new one doesnt t like the cold either, but out of warranty now.

Best compressor on the market. I installed airbags on my truck and priced compressor systems. The brand our local tire shop recommended cost twice as much for worse performance. Now I have a much better product with more versatility. Well worth every penny.

Easy install to my Jeep Wrangler! ARB

MADE IN CHINA. Thats the FIRST thing that should be known about this compressor, so keep this in mind. With that said, so far, it appears to be a top quality compressor. If you are used to the big box compressors here are a few differences between the ARB and the standard Chinamercan stuff: - quiet, it sounds solid and tight, it doesnt make a racket, a nice mellow tone - hard-wired to the battery, no more jumper cables, fumbling for the box, putting the compressor back in the box, etc.. mount it anywhere, including under the hood - switch, relay, and wiring harness all included, mount the switch on the dash somehwere.. use a dremel or whatever you got to cut a space for the switch - good air compression, unlike other big box compressors this one never sounds like its struggling, instead it sounds like it is well capable of doing what its supposed to do, this is phychologically reassuring - manifold with pressure switch, this means you hit the on button, it fills the manifold for a split second and the compressor STOPS, now you can go from tire to tire and fill up without having the thing run constantly - the kit does NOT include a hose or tire inflator - sold seperatley... Overall, so far so good, though I havent used it much (thankfully) .. mah use is primarily for tire fills and some random blow-gun action (ie cleaning stuff) What would be better? If it was NOT made in CHINA. Japan or Australia would be prefereable, even if the price were DOUBLE.... Alas this is the way of thy world... I suspect China will have more tiers to their quality as demand and competition continue to grow...
