ARB Twin High Performance Portable Compressor

[KAH 24]

Air compressors are not a sexy accessory—purely functional, but necessary if/when you want to fill big tires quickly, or run air tools in a pinch.

As an early anniversary gift, my wife bought me an ARB Twin High Performance 12v portable compressor (for our Raptor, other vehicles, and air tools in a pinch).

Experimented on our Jeep Rubicon which has BFG MT KM2s 35-12.50R 17s, by dropping from 35 psi to 15 psi—and reinflating. ARB rate of inflation was significantly/noticeably faster that I would have imagined, as if the compressor was filling a much smaller car tire. This is compared to the Slime Pro-Series Super Duty which I’d been using and functions well (in my experience the Slime works better than several other well regarded portable compressors I’ve owned previously).

I like that the ARB is portable vs. a hardwired compressor—which I’d considered. Of note, it is over engineered and quite robust/heavy. High quality fittings and every accessory for tires/air tools.

Due to my background, I gravitate toward overbuilt tools that function extremely well.

NOTE: Max, our rather large cat decided to show up and provides a frame of reference in size.

thats a great compressor. I had one in my jeep hardwired without tank and plan on doing the same to the raptor. I also run a 2nd battery so makes this alot more functional and permanent.

Awesome wife! I had the same setup with my JL Rubicon and loved it and at times I was airing down to the single digits.

ARB makes some top notch equipment that is considered overbuilt as you stated, and most people don't even know the are an Australian company. They do have some ultimate testing grounds for their products

Even your cat is looking at the better of the two. And what was her gift? Only asking because my wife reads the forum too lol
