Is ARB really better than the rest? ARB vs Viair - ARB Twin Air Compressor - Viair 400P

I’m glad you mentioned you were comparing apples to oranges. But the space savings of having a compressor mounted and out of the way is super helpful. I’ll send you picks when the dual Viair setup is reinstalled on the Tacoma.

[@ambitio9149]

Thanks, great info. Looks like the Viair served you well for a good price for two years...not bad. I do agree that the ARB is very sweet. Glad you were able to upgrade.

[@MoreDirtMoreDistance]

Thanks! The Viair has worked well. I just the ARB works even better for the price 🤣

[@terryrust5683]

another good video! Ive been using CO2for several years in my Scrambler and now in the gladiator, faster but not necessarily easier and if youre someplace remote for an extended period it can be hard to refill the tank. I did have an engine driven compressor on my Scrambler but I lost it when I did the 4.0L head EFI to it and got a small CO2 bottle from a friend.

[@MoreDirtMoreDistance]

I was thinking about CO2, but knew I would have a hard time keeping it full. They are really fast.

[@SouthTXMojave]

Man for the price as of now, gotta check into an option like the Viair. While faster and space saving make more sense, I still gotta think of the budget. Thankfully my Mojave has an elocker, which is by far better than nothing but I still need to buy my recovery gear too. I have a long way to go but recently, having to find a gas station to air up and even then, hoping it works or takes card not coin. Its a hassel I can definitely do without.

[@MoreDirtMoreDistance]

The cost of all the gear is crazy! A million little things add up real quick.

[@TradesmanOutdoorAdventures]

I’m loving my Viair 400P…maybe it isn’t as fast, but it’s nice how mobile it is (I can loan it to a buddy), and the price is definitely right! Nice video!

[@MoreDirtMoreDistance]

Thanks! I agree the Viair is priced really well and has never given me a problem.

[@cowboy7684]

You could’ve used a different Viair compressor to make the comparison they have better air compressors that match up better to the ARB

[@jefferykesler3933]

Great video. Wanted to know how your mopar snorkel is holding up and how do you like it. Looking at that one and the Aev for my Jl

[@MoreDirtMoreDistance]

Thanks! I’m happy with the snorkel. Once it’s installed there is nothing to worry about. You have to cut into the hood for the install tho… I did it myself talk about stressful 😬🤣

[@jefferykesler3933]

@@MoreDirtMoreDistance Thanks for quick response. What did you use to cut the hood?

[@MoreDirtMoreDistance]

@@jefferykesler3933 Dremel Rotary Tool with the metal cutting wheel.

[@jefferykesler3933]

@@MoreDirtMoreDistance Thanks. 1 last question. Did you take hood off to cut or leave on?

[@MoreDirtMoreDistance]

@@jefferykesler3933 You have to remove the hood. Here is the video I used kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4ipemehnrl0nMU

[@billredding2000]

Or, one could compare the ARB twin with the NAPA Maxi Trac 300LPM twin (also a 12v "portable" compressor) -- tests I've seen (on KZbin) show -- even if hard to believe -- the NAPA one is way faster than the ARB...at about 1/3rd the price ($132 presently @ NAPA online). But as for durability/quality, I don't think the NAPA has been out long enough to know, but ARB sure has been and it's a great product. However, I have a Viair 450P for HOME use, and a Viair 88P I carry in my Gladiator 24/7 (for "emergency" use, just in case, for me or someone else "in distress" on the road). The 450P (~ $300 when I got it several years ago) is more expensive, so it stays in my garage (in case my truck is broken into). If the cheaper 88P (~$90) gets stolen, it's less of a financial loss. IIRC< my 450P is clearly slower than the ARB twin...which makes sense, as the ARB is a twin cylinder and my Viair is a single cylinder. But that's okay, it's fast enough and I'm expecting Viair quality (even though made in China?) to last me even more years to come. MINE is just for use on tires though, nothing else. Like my plan to Live Forever, I can say "So far, so good" about my 2 Viairs. ;-) Too bad we have to be concerned about criminals (be they simple street-trash or otherwise) in America more & more nowadays: We can't carry "nice stuff" in our vehicles anymore. :-( "Jeep Wave" -- BR

[@MoreDirtMoreDistance]

Yeah I’ve had no issues with the Viair. It’s to bad we always have to be concerned about vandals and thieves.

[@chi2251]

600$ or 200$ nah... gotta use a bike pump like a real man😂😂😂

[@MoreDirtMoreDistance]

🤣🤣🤣

[@GarretSterling]

What if I set up two Viair 400Ps? Faster and more cost effective. Am I wrong in this kind of thinking?

[@MoreDirtMoreDistance]

I guess that could work if you figure out how to set them up. I’m not sure if they would be faster. The ARB is basically two smaller air compressors working together, so it is possible.

[@bjshu96]

Is your gladiator your daily driver? With M/T how is the fuel mileage?

[@MoreDirtMoreDistance]

I work from home, so don’t have a commute. It probably averages out to around 17 mpg.

[@bjshu96]

@@MoreDirtMoreDistance thanks for the quick reply. I'm getting leveling kit next week and I'm trying to figure out wheel/tire combo.

[@MoreDirtMoreDistance]

@@bjshu96 I hope to regear soon I’m not sure if it will significantly improve gas mileage.

[@jennifercousins9603]

Can the viair be hard wired and mounted on a vehicle?

[@MoreDirtMoreDistance]

It could with some modifications but not straight out of the box. I think it would take some work.

[@brandonkelbe]

The twin is 3 times the price…

[@321southtube]

Big time waste of money. The "off road" community will buy anything just to look cool and compete with others. It's an expensive ego trip and you're paying top dollar for looks and bragging rights.
