2 x 400c Viair compressors mounted & bolted on the rear chassis rails. I use two as the rule of thumb says one 400c per 5 Gallon air tank, mine is 8.5 gallons. With the two it recharges from 110psi to 150psi in about 30secs roughly.

sweet was thinking about a onboard compressor and tank for off road purposes tools and infalting tyres air horns could be a bonus as

Just let me know I will find out a price on a on board air system. They do one with the compressor built on top of the tank & every thing else is included, simply screw in a male PCL connector, fit a pair of crocodile clips and away you go.

Very similar to this one. (Sorry, I know this could be construed as blatant advertising, which is not my intention, honest)

#38 by 123hotchef , Sun Jan 18, 2015 9:14 pm

so that is just a 12v comp and a 5L tank

That one is basically a 2gallon tank & if my memory serves me right is a 280c Viair.

I'm guessing due to the size of our tyres, you'd be looking at a 5gallon tank with a 400c or 480c. You have to take into account the duty cycle of a compressor. (Length of time it can be run without resting it.

And yeah 12v though I can get 24v Viair's.

Yep every chance, but not for continued long use etc etc, you'd need a lot of air for that really, I'd imagine it would be ok for the odd wheel nut removal etc etc

#45 by 123hotchef , Sun Jan 18, 2015 9:35 pm

i will look into this more, i had a mate who used the aircon compressor to fill the tank
