i can't believe what i'm reading.

would it "work" - yes, somewhat.

is it safe? - hell no. also, where, oh where are you going to get 200 PSIG to fill them in the first place? not only that, but IF they held up to the fill, they would eventually fatigue and fail. probably about the time you landed one of them on a rock. at that point, you have earth, and immovable object below, essentially a 200-PSIG pipe bomb, then your butt on top of it. guess which one loses - earth or your butt? sounds fun, doesn't it.

is it cheap - not even close.

you'll have to use so much pipe & fittings and then your time to put it all together that you could just buy a portable compressor several times over.

 

Personally I am not sold on the CO2 setup, sure it can be nice, but its bulky.. has to be stored upright, and needs to be refilled. IMO a decent set of airtanks and elec compressor will do the job.

On my new truck i will be getting a ViAir 480 compressor, and reisntalling my 2 2.5 gal tanks. With the size tire I am running I will be able to fill 2.5 tires before I am filling on the pump alone.

All the tanks do is save time, and provide bulk air if you need to reseat a bead.

One of the guys on the ttora board has PVC pipe running the the length of his cab above the sliders and below the cab, with both sides he has about 2.5 gals of storage. IMO hiding some storage under the bed/body and a compressor under the hood is more user freindly than a CO2 tank...

 

I didnt realize he wasnt talking about a compressor too... yeah you would not be able to have enough air to do anything worthwhile...

 

The bumper itself would be a lot better, but the way I have it setup, the whole thing works off the ARB pressure switch - so the whole system is at like 85 psi.

Eventually, i will have fender hoops that tie the bumper to the sliders, and then I'll have significant air storage. At the same time, I'll also replumb the lockers with a regulator and have the stored air at higher pressure.

 

A friend and I "MorphiasX" on this board, are putting our on board air system together using two aluminum fire extingusher tanks and a compressor. We have had good results so far with the tanks, got them up to and to hold about 120 PSI of air. We are now just looking for the compressors that we want/like to keep them filled for us. If anyone is interested I can see about getting some tanks for other people, although I am not sure, pm me if you are.

 

It should keep it at 100... my arb compressor with arb solenoid does...

 

I just did my set up recently:
co2 tanks $20 full.
mouting bracket from the source -45
Air Chuck/Hose/Etc-30
Regulator from the source-40
Total $135 for an onboard airsystem.

 

I just got a Master Flow 1050 air compressor for 59$
used it two times so far for low tires works good.
I need to change the hose though in the cold it dose not stretch out well.
