What’s everyone using for on board air in 2021

[Squeegee]

It seems like everyone was a huge fan of pumas about 10 years ago. But whats everyone using now? Are pumas still a quality system? Are people just buysmittybilts? Or did everyone get tired or waiting and get York’s or build C02 tanks?

I’m coming from a medium duty viair and a 2.5 gallon tank that took about 7 minutes to fill a 315/75/16. And I’m not doing another wheeling season of that

FILL ME IN

York with a 2 1/2 gallon tank. Fills a 315 in about 2 mins. @NLXTACY has everything you need to make it easy.

Arb duel compressor. 100% duty cycle. Pretty quick but the York is on my radar and worth a serious look.

I just have a middle range dual compressor I got for 40% off during a sale. Doesn't take up too much space, and gets the job done for my purposes. I'm typically just reinflating after dropping pressures for mud or sand. I can afford to wait a few extra minutes. I'd usually be standing there giving the rig a once over anyway.

Amazon product ASIN B002MO4D82has some butt lifting qualities also.

Viair automatic 400p. I'm looking at building some hoses to inflate two tires at once.

I still have my MV50 and apparently it's one of the better ones. it has 80 to 90% of the speed of the Viair.

Mother Nature resistant so it can live a happy life mounted on the frame rail where the spare tire used to be, or where ever. I used to live a couple miles from the Outback Extreme facility. The owner invited me for a demo before I made the purchase. This compressor has a 1.5hp motor, draws 80 amps under full load and has a 100% duty cycle. It inflates my 37” tire from 10 to 30psi in about 2.5 minutes.

I'm a fan of the York, Wits End has made it super simple to put together and if you get the York for a decent price it's about the same cost as an ARB dual compressor.

Finally someone with a good suggestion

I’d be sweet to be able to have one, but it lives where’d the supercharger does

Viair and I have a (4) way inflator/deflator, I can air up all (4) tires at the same time from 15psi-40psi in 15min. would like something more permanent but for now my setup is working great.

Do you have the 400p or the 450p?

I used to use CO2, many years ago, nice & quick, and I always ran out of CO2 at the wrong time. Got a Puma, initially for the K5 ~13 years ago, still going strong with the 37s. The '93 and the LX each have a Puma installed, on a tire carrier/Puma platform from @Tools R Us. In the K5, the Puma is behind the seat. And a DIY air-up system, in each, as well. In the '93 and the LX, the line comes out the back and swings around.

No room for a York, Cruisers have S'Cs

300p (yes that's a surprise) but I also have a hand throttle and bring the engine rpm up to 1400 when doing the air up..

Wow that’s really surprising!

 

[enox]

Wow that’s really surprising!

yeah I was blown away first time i used the (4) way system along with bringing up the engine rpm... prior to that it took like 5-6 min a tire with the last (2) taking longer than the first (2)

 

[HardyDanger]

Viair 400p. Just timed it. 10psi to 35psi for a 33” at 2:34 seconds. Pretty happy with that. Was thinking about making a 2:1 manifold. But low priority. Might make a plug in connection at the rear with my new power set up back there....but low priority.

Once you go York, you never go back.

You need a better marketing slogan..

York setups have been the preferred system for many years and for good reason.

For me, I've kept it simple and cheap. I got my first MV-50 compressor in 2002. Mounted in my engine bay until 2011 until it finally crapped out from dirt, vibration and temperature. Bought another one right after and still going strong, but I keep it inside.

That being said, the MV-50 couldn't air up my F350 35" tires to 55/65 PSI in a timely manner, so I got the MV-90 and it's about 2x the size but way more powerful. Really impressed on it and now and also use it for my Land Cruiser as well. MV-90 Air Compressor 45 Amps - https://superflowair.com/products/mv-90-air-compressor-high-output-heavy-duty
