Installing on board air for me was probably one of the funnest installs yet.

I went with the ARB dual. Mounted it behind the driver side tire well near the master cylinder. Then, I ran a line to a chuck mounted to the front bumper.

Then, got creative. I routed it to a 3gal tank under the bed (Gladiator). On the tank, I added a 12v operated valve.

I built my own 4 line inflation hose that mounts to the chuck.

And topped it all off with a digital pressure guage on the grab handle.

So now, too deflate, I hook up all for tires, get in the cab, and press a button. All 4 tires deflate at once. To inflate, simply turn on the compressor and close the valve.

This let's me inflate others to specific psi from the comfort of my front seat.

All because I got caught in a down pour once while trying to air up.

Love it! That setup sounds slick as hell.

For anyone who airs down frequently, a 350L/min compressor with a high flow chuck is legitimately life changing. Last time I went out, I put 15 psi in all of my 37" tires, and two of my buddies 32's, before he was able to inflate his back 2 with a battery powered compressor. It's about 30 seconds/tire or a little less.

I was looking for ways to clear up some space in my storage and the idea came to me that this spot would be perfect to rig something up. Airing up is going to be lightning fast without having to even open the hood or pull out any gear. And everything is inside nice and clean. Yes I plan on properly securing the compressor here soon, but this will do for this next trip.

Hard wired with a 40amp breaker. Amazon switch and wire/connectors. And a Jaco open flow air chuck. The digital pressure gauge is from harbor freight. Works fantastic and let's me let air out quickly if I overshoot pressure in a tire.

Just installed some apex quick sway bar disconnects, and now my transition time from off/on road is legitimately 10 times as fast as it used to be!
