WHAT ABOUT A COMPRESSOR FOR THE LOCKERS?
Yep, trick question.....
As noted above, the Burrito will get a set of Harrop ELockers - one next week and another when we refresh the front end (knuckles, stainless birfs, etc.) next year. Like the name says, the actuation is electrical, not air. No air lines, no air compressor.
So what's a guy to do when airing up the tires? Well, I have a 12v portable Viair (slow and noisy) for back-up, but the primary system will be a 10 lb. Power Tank with regulator and accessory bits as below. Should fit nicely on the roll bar. I pulled the rear seat and donated it to another rig so the back is dedicated to gear and my dog, so plenty of room for tools, fluids, parts and accessories.
Also provided is a neat little video on the differences between Nitro, OBA compressor/tank and CO2 (Power Tank).
I am not a patient guy, so the CO2 just makes sense for my needs and interests. Yes, we sell Harrops; no, we don't sell CO2 systems
If you want to skip the video, here are the results: Nitrogen 1.5 minutes, OBA compressor and tank 8 minutes and
Power Tank/CO2 1 minute, 7 seconds. Half an hour to top off a set of tires is pretty nuts. In fairness, the tires in the video are rather large volume 35s, but there is still quite a bit of difference there.
