Onboard air system

[94Dodge Truggy]

Who makes the best onboard air system with a small tank and uses 30 amps or less to run? I have a/c in the jeep and have come close to converting it over but really have been spoiled by it. Any companies you know of or web sites to check out? I have seen viair and am looking for others. Thanks, Scott

kilby makes a good kit from what i've heard, not sure what kinda amperage it takes though.

What about a CO2 setup? I have been looking into them some. Lot simpler and have some good advantages. Only bad part would be having to get them refilled. www.powertank.com and www.ultimate-air.com.

Guess it depends on what you plan to use it for the most.

i'm all about co2 systems... easy and simple, and they work when your vehicle isn't running.

I seem to use alot of air for myself and others. Like to make plastic bottle pressure bombs while taking wheeling pit stops.

I ended up converting my Saden stock AC compressor to be an OBA compressor and so far everything is running great. I put an oiler and a filter in so that it runs correctly and I have a 5 gallon tank that supplies enough air to bead a tire and a pressure switch that regulates the pressure in the tank. I have two quick disconnect and a 25' hose to reach around with.

I do understand the point of not having the vehicle on to use it sometimes I wish I could have the Jeep off and have air. But the volume I can run beats out the CO2 system and not having to refill the tank s what sold me plus $125 total for the system is nice.

Cant beat the "MV-50" superflow sold at Pep Boys for $60.

Here's a write up on how to port the head and make it work even better. After the mod, it will fill a single 33" tire from 18psi to 35psi in just over two minutes.

I've got 2 that I plan on running together with a 5 gallon tank.

I have an extra York 210 compressor, would make a nice OBA with a bit of fabrication..

It's a V-belt with working elec. clutch..I'll let it go cheap!

Thanks for the offer. I have 2 extra compressors already. The engine bay already has one for a/c and is getting tight for space with the coilovers in the way and other junk. I am leaning towards CO2 from ultimate air now.

I've got a beverage tank from Sparkling Carbonic as Wilson1010 mentioned. Works well and the price was right. I might have about $130-$140 dollars in the whole setup.
