I was going to do the AC to air pump conversion, but after 8 days of over 102+ in my area, thats not gonna fly, so im gonna need another onboard air solution for my 99 Sport. I was thinking about picking up an ARB under the hood compressor, but what else can you guys recommened? Im running 35's and dont have alot of money for this, so please keep that in mind. I've been looking at some VAIR's on ebay and stuff like that, but I just dont know.

Thanks

I have a Viair and a 2.5 gallon tank. I mounted it where the spare used to be. I just didn't want it under the hood. i've had it a couple of years at least, 3 I guess. I've changed some of the piping around and added valves, gauges etc. It will run air tools enough so I can get a wheel off, etc.

zr2toxj - how big of one did you get? Whats the model number if you dont mind me asking.

Coming from one that the A/C didn't work when I got my jeep, I did the A/C to OBA and love it. Way more CFM than any electric compressor I've seen.

Oh im sure, and I even thought about doing that conversion anyway, but its way to hot here in MO to even be thinking about that now. Im going to have to stick with electric. Im a wuss when its 105+ out there.

Mine is the 10005 HD kit.

Here's what I did:

how long does it take you to fill tires?

zr2toxj

Not long, although I've never timed it. I'm running 34s and usually go down to 10psi then air up to 25psi and it doesn't take long. The tank is set at 150psi so the first one is pretty fast. I usually wait a little for the compressor to catch up on the last two.

I had a Smittybilt MV50 but after 5 years of service it finally called it quits, I am currently debating on another MV50 or going with a Powertank
