Oh wow, retro TrailRecon! For anyone referencing this - I just installed the same model in my TJ. The included carriage bolts really screwed me, the nuts stripped when tightening and I ended up cutting them off with a grinder. I opened up the harness and removed the wiring meant for locker solenoids - essentially I just ran the single red wire from the pressure switch to my SPOD knockoff - so the pressure switch has no power at all until the SPOD switches on -- and then the pressure switch controls the ARB relay. I hated keeping a loose relay in my setup, but I don't trust winch/compressor level amperage through knockoffs. Installing on the empty ABS tray in a TJ -- just remember the 2 4mm hex screws - loosening allows you to rotate the entire unit and makes installation a breeze under the master cylinder.

TrailRecon, well produced video. Now that you have had the compressor in for a while, I have some questions. 1. Do you wish you had piped a connection fitting to the front or rear of the JK? Not having to open the hood is a plus. 2. Do you regret hard mounting the compressor. Would you like it free (in a bag)? You would not have to pull your JK close to help out others. 3. How hot is the compressor getting your Brake booster? My compressor gets very hot.

I have a 2005 Jeep Rubicon with a Spod. The Rubicon comes with a shelf on the driver's side that would hold the ARB perfectly. My question for you is since you have a Spod, why are you powering the ARB to the battery? I believe my Spod instructions said you can forego relay switches etc and simply run a power and ground from whatever you are installing right to the Spod to whatever terminal you want. That was one of the main reasons I installed the Spod - simplify installs of all the extra goodies I want.
@johnraahauge4552
@johnraahauge4552 6 жыл бұрын
You could wire it directly to the SPOD, but then the compressor doesn't automatically turn off when you stop airflow at the tire. I would leave the pressure switch and relay in the harness and hook directly up to the SPOD. So big black/white and big red to SPOD and the small black and red shown in the video to the same SPOD terminal. That way you retain the auto shutoff of the pressure switch.
@chaosncheckt9356
@chaosncheckt9356 6 жыл бұрын
Interesting. So the SPOD would control the on/off and the pressure switch would do the auto turn off when the air flow stopped? So, three wires to one SPOD switch terminal and two wires to the same switch but the other terminal?
@johnraahauge4552
@johnraahauge4552 6 жыл бұрын
Yes, you get pressure on demand that way. Technically you only have to connect 2 wires to each since the two small black wires are part of the same wire.

With the SPOD which has a relay rated at 40amp you should have been able go straight from your SPOD terminal to the power cables on the compressor (it is rated at a max draw of 32amp). Did you use the harness and relay they sent to hook up the pressure switch? From what I have read the pressure switch is used in conjunction with the air lockers and may not be necessary when just using it to fill up tires. I believe it is there to turn off the compressor at the rated psi to protect the lockers. What would be cool is to replace it with a pressure switch rated to the psi for your tires and then it will turn itself off when it reaches that pressure (instead of standing and watching.

Could u have just ran the pos motor wire to the pos of whatever switch u are using on the spod and then the neg motor wire to one side of the pressure switch then from the other side of the pressure switch to the neg of the spod and not use any of their wiring. Seems like when u turned the switch on the motor would run and when the set pressure was reached the pressure switch would shut it off by breaking the neg side of the motor.

They were the stock 32's, but I currently have 35's and it takes me just over 2 minutes per tire... I'd go with the dual compressor if I had to do it over again.

the connector for the hose is pointing upward, wont this become a reservoir for mud. there was a lot of mud under your hood. You might cover the connector.

one other question - when you're airing up, are you leaving your jeep on or ignition off during those 8-10 mins?
@TrailRecon
@TrailRecon 8 жыл бұрын
Good question and one I may ask ARB about, but yes, I leave my Jeep running while airing up. Honestly though, I don't know if it's necessary, but I just feel with the 8-10 draw from the compressor on the battery it is probably better.

Can you mount this in the trunk area since the jeep has AC output you can connect to? For some reason , when you are done running the trail and try to pop the hood, its too hot sometimes to open the hood. My preference is in the trunk area. Can we install it there?

Just installed mine but it won't seem to turn on. I see you have that adapter for the air hose screwed in and then the pressure switch screwed into that. I don't have my hose yet so I screwed the pressure switch in directly just to see if it would work. Will it not turn on unless I have the hose adapter first?

I want to put an ARB compressor on my f150 but I don't have any room whatsoever in my engine bay. The one small spot I had, I have my relay for my light bar mounted. Any suggestions to where I can mount it? Having such a big engine there's not much space

I have seen some guys mount their air compressors under their seats, not sure how much room you have in the truck, but might be an option.

+TrailRecon yeah that's what I was thinking was somewhere in my cab. Maybe even behind my seat. I've got room in the cab for sure. Probably not under the seats though. Not much room there.

What's the benefit of using this over a portable air compressor? I've got a big heavy duty portable air comp. which refiles my tires from 15psi to 35 in around a minute; all i have to do is hook it up to the battery and push the on switch. Is there a benefit to this particular setup that i'm unaware of?
@TrailRecon
@TrailRecon 8 жыл бұрын
If you have a compressor that can fill you tires in a minute then I don't think you need to worry about upgrading... that's very fast for a portable unit. My portable was very slow and this is much faster, plus I like the convince of just lifting the hood and flipping a switch and I'm up and running.

@@n607rv For me it's the space requirement and convenience. I like to roll with the compressor at all times, and I'd rather hardmount in a spot I won't be storing anything else, to free up space where I could put other things. Never have enough storage space!

Hey dude I had a quick question! I know you're running an spod system in your jeep, but I was wondering if you had to handle this situation at all. When you get to the wiring the switch part, it requires you to tap into an ignition power source. How did you do that part? Did the spod require that done? Thanks!

No, my compressor is hooked up straight to my spod.

The compressor still needs power. The real question is, why did you use the relay? The relay should only be needed if you're using the stock rocker switch, but since you're using the sPod you shouldn't need the relay as the sPod is supplying the relay. no?
