> 3 dayExcellent quality product, luckily I was replacing the smaller version so I had the two original solenoids as the product came only with the compressor and harness and switch. Another note if your doing an upgrade from the smaller version... use the provided harness as the gauge of wire is of a different size. Splicing is possible but not recommended But the product is excellent ARB quality.

> 3 dayI purchased this air compressor because of the company reputation and many good reviews. Let me start by saying that the quality of this compressor is very good. I dont expect any performance issues with it and I love the small compact package this offers. Now I want to dive into some of the deficiencies that many people didnt mention and that you should know before you make this purchase. Watch some installation videos on this, then understand that those videos dont tell you that this is an all day or maybe even all weekend install like it was for me. It all seemed pretty straight forward however some details brought my install to a halt even though I consider myself a very capable mechanic. So block off a good chunk of time to do this installation. Buy your own air fittings from the hardware store. I purchased ARBs actual quick connect accessory kit thinking it would streamline the installation. It was a joke. I spend 46 bucks on a kit that I couldnt use. Why? Because 2 of the 3 air ports on the compressor are different and none of the fittings in the accessory kit allowed me to actually connect the quick connect fitting. Just go to the hardware store and buy yourself a regular air hose quick connect fitting and a 1/4 inch T fitting. Unless you have lockers dont plan on being able to use the two blocked off ports on the air chamber on the pump. Ill be returning the accessory kit. While the included wire harness is in fact pretty plug and play its very over complicated. ARB gives you a harness that controls the pump and the option for two locker switches. Most people arent using lockers. In order to make everything work you have to use the whole wire harness even if you arent running lockers. I ended up cutting off all of the unnecessary wires for the two extra switches because I didnt want to have to try and conceal a bunch of wires not being used. Im a electronics technician by trade and they could have made this harness much more streamlined. Thank goodness for the mounting adjustments. I was able to tuck this pump in a very small area and the ability to rotate the pump and air chamber really helped get it right where I needed it. Once everything was hooked up and powered the air compressor works well. I have not yet used it to completely fill 4 tires but I dont have any doubt it will do the job.

Greater than one weekGreat little pump. The wiring harness ended up being a 6 hour battle before I finally tore it back out from my install. End up having a broken ground wire in the harness. Rewired the entire system using only the necessary parts and it worked as it should.

> 3 dayThis product came with everything that you need to install onto your vehicle. the instructions were decent enough for an average person like me to understand and figure out. the wiring harness was simple and the compressor works like a charm. Great compact onboard compressor. Would definitely recommend.

> 3 dayIt 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.

> 3 dayIt is nice to have on-board air, it is better when it is quick! Everything you need is included, except a mounting bracket. You will have to find one specific to the vehicle, have one made, or fab it yourself. I use this often, a few times a month. I typically air down to a little under 20 psi on 265/70/17 BFG ATs. It takes me just under 10~ minutes to stop, prep, and fill my tires back to 38 psi. Note: my truck is less than a year old, I still have my stock battery, I have to leave the engine running. It would fair far better with a larger capacity battery installed.

Greater than one weekWhile the compressor is good to go (5 stars) shipping and quality checks need improvement. I had three units shipped to me before i received one that wasnt broken or missing pieces. The original shipment I received clearly had returned hand written on the box from the previous customer. Im still waiting on my refund nearly three weeks later.

> 3 dayBought the ARB single stage compressor to air up after a day on the trail. Got tired of waiting for my portable to do the job. Installation was easy and the result was as expected. I like it.
