ARB Onboard 12V Compact Single Air Compressor
Features & Product Details
Few 4x4 accessories offer as many advantages to off-roaders as readily available on-board air. Considered by 4x4 owners around the world to be a staple accessory for off road travel, an ARB 4x4 Air Compressor provides an immediate source of compressed air anywhere a 12 or 24 volt power source is available.
Tires perform best when they are set at a pressure that is appropriate for the terrain. While highway use calls for a relatively high pressure rate, lowering your air pressure will dramatically improve your 4x4s traction in a range of off road environments. Compressed air allows you the freedom to adjust the tire inflation level of your truck to suit the conditions. An equally beneficial feature of on-board air is the ability to re-inflate tires that have been repaired - it is not unusual to get several punctures in one day when traveling in extreme off-road conditions. In this environment, the value of owning an air compressor is priceless. When coupled with good quality tire repair equipment, an ARB air compressor provides the off road traveler with independence and peace of mind.
ARB 4x4 Air Compressors are individually leak tested, current draw tested and flow tested under load at the factory before packaging. And ARBs after-sales service is second to none with many of the compressor components readily available and easily sourced. Along with ARB Air Compressors, ARB also offers a range of tire accessories including tire deflators, tire inflators and tire repair kit. A perfect pairing with ARB Air Compressors.

This is the first accessory I put on my Jeep and like others it lasted about 11 years (more than half of that living in the engine compartment). It finally seized up at the end of a week long trip airing down/up multiple times every day. I was so happy with it I replaced it with another without a thought of choosing a different brand. I took it apart to see what failed and it was the piston rod bearing. Dry as a bone and seized. Replaced the bearing, added some grease and it is running just fine to this day. Now I have two single compressors joined together. Definitely fills up faster. If you want yours to last past a decade just add a dab grease to that bearing every couple of years.

Purchased in 2013, my ARB compressor filled it's last tire. Eleven years of faithful service, it gave up, and seized the piston. If literally cost me $20 a year to fill my tires. Now the price has gone up by about $70 over the last decade, but I can assure you, it did it's job. Good luck.

I just replaced my old one which lasted 13 years for my lockers and airing up tires. I could have just rebuilt it, but figured for the price why not just buy a new one. Well worth the money!

I installed the ARB compact compressor on my 2018 Rubicon 2dr. The installation was simple and took a couple of hours. I chose to run the air chuck connector behind the front bumper which makes it easily accessible. The only problem I have had is with the rubber boot that goes on the air chuck port. The rubber is deteriorating and after a few months, it leaves a messy black residue on my hands when trying the connect or disconnect the air hose. It's too bad because I'm proud to show the compressor to friends when we wheel, but the black messy residue really detracts from others wanting to install on their vehicles.
