Compressors/on board air

Whos got what and how do you like it?

Mostly just look for something to air up after wheelin that doesnt take 10 minutes per tire. Also thinking about getting an ashcroft air locker for the front at some point.

Viair has some pretty impressive set ups. Learn me on these here air compressor/on board air set ups.

co2. One of these days I will get a mount for it, instead of just tossing the tank in a box.

x2. I don't have one, but have wheeled with guys that use CO2 setups...very nice.

I have dual Viair 480 setup with a 5 gal tank. Theyl run my big impact enough to take the lugs off without any problems and work my lockers easily. I had the ARB compressor setup for a while it worked but it would take a while to blow up my 33s. Im not a big fan of CO2 setups myself but they work fine....... I just hate having to take it somewhere an get filled everytime it needs filled when I can flip a switch an have 200 psi anytime I need it.

Rausch Creek has a good deal on co2 systems in the office last time I was there. I fill my 20lb co2 tank about once a year, and it costs $15. I also use it to fill 2 tires at once. I can have all 4 tires from 15psi to 45 psi quite quickly, but the bottle will start to ice up.

Havent looked into it yet.. but how do the CO2 systems work with air lockers?

You can buy a solenoid that plumbs into the co2 line for the arb.

I used a 20 ounce paintball Co2 tank to activate my lockers for a while, worked fine.
I currently use an ARB compressor and carry a 5lb Co2 bottle.
5lb bottle will fill ~20 tires from 15 to 30psi.

my interest is peaked. Where do you get a CO2 tank and the hose/connector to match the tire stems?

I put my setup together using a spare tank and and an ebay regulator. You can buy nice kits from justin, or they sell kits at rausch creek in the office. Kimo on lrrf also puts together kits and sells them, and you buy your tank locally.

I got my 5# tank and regulator from ebay.
Regulator has a normal compressed air quick disconnect.
Everything else is the same stuff I use at home with my compressor.

20 ounce paintball bottle available everywhere.
Pnuematic switches for the lockers bought from PowerTank.
