My Stupidly-Expensive Onboard Air Setup

[TheGrendel]

That's not a air compressor lmao. We're talking air not how much money we lit on fire for the whole build....?

$675 all in..... 26ft hose and tank pressure never drops below 100psi filling 38s.

What is this Bed Top that you are using??

How much space do you have from the top of the decked system to the cab opening? I need to fit a 3 foot tall kennel.

Ill measure when I get home.

$165 for a 4 tire air up/down setup off Etsy, and $130 for the 10+ cfm compressor. Under $25 for wiring and connectors. I’m happy with my setup and can also run small air tools if need be.

My 4 tire PowerTank setup. I wanted it plumbed in high up on the truck to avoid mud and sand and make it easier to keep the hoses off the ground. The tank is mounted sideways on bed a JCR molle panel. It’s got the standpipe installed from PowerTank. I can fill all 4 tires in about 2 minutes. Equalization works flawlessly. I’d like to add a compressor at some point for utility air.

Wolf Island, nice manifold so the fill and purge is the same valve? I just have to figure a way to hook up to the Delaware beaches standard 45degree air chuck, and hold it on. Thanks for posting that pic!….Jack

Working on a stowage option for the hoses. I’m tired of the Bucket Boss bag getting in my way. I’ve got the final pieces printed and just have to install it. I’m still a little worried about PLA warping. I may glue the top surface of the brackets to the Diamondback.

Can be removed from the truck when not needed and fills alot faster

Milwaukee has a nice battery powered 18 volt compressor that is pretty fast for about $180. I gave my old corded pancake compressor away it is that good.

Yeah, it’s the same valve. The reason it’s done like this, beyond simplicities sake, is that I can plug in other air sources to this like a compressor and fill all 4 tires. Also I didn’t want to hard plumb the PowerTank into the system. I can remove it from the truck in 30 seconds.

I ran two CO 2 tanks for years. When one ran out used the other tank, keep on trucking. However in CA, CO2 had gotten expensive. I went with the double ARB compressor. Sold the one tank. Keep one as a back up. I use the speed flat setup to air up or down all 4 tires. At $60 to exchange tanks and buy a new tank every two-years(they do expire) it is over the long run to use a good quality compressor. My compressor is on the right hand side. You can see the switch and air hook up
