ARB compressor hooked up and 35" spare.

[desertbenny]

I got around to wiring in my ARB compressor. I settled on the compartment under the rear seat. Haven't really tested on how long it'll take to air back up the 35's to 60psi yet but, pretty sure it'll take a bit.



Also saw a thread some where that showed the owner got his 35" Toyo spare to fit under the back of his Power wagon so I gave it a shot. Wouldn't you know I got it to fit! It's tight but I didn't have to cut, bend or move anything. I did air the tire down to 25psi and it took some wiggling and shoving to get it home. There is about 1.5" between the tire and the panhard bar. Even if I loaded the truck to pottom out it doesn't look like it'll rub. It's nice to have the bed space back

I am considering an ARB compressor for my truck. It has been a year now since you installed yours. How does it work for you? Is the location under the back seat still a good choice for you?

Old info for a new guy. Thanks.

For the money, you're better off getting a Puma, assuming you have the room. Since i have a covered shell, it is not an issue for storage, and will soon be hard mounted. Most 35's will fit if aired down.

If Aluminess ever gets my rear bumper built, that issue will also be solved.

Can you expand on how the Aluminess rear bumper will allow you to use a larger spare? i'm just curious. Thanks

This is where I mounted my twin arb compressor. A single fits nice here. Got the idea on a visit to AEV

whoa, stealthy! Have any more photos? I've been looking for a spot to put compressors-this might just be it. Probably going to be a pair of vair units though.
