I'm going to be throwing some arbs in my tacoma before too long, was curious who is running oba? Anyone have any compressor recommendations? Wiring tips? Plumbing tips?
I want to be able to run some tools, and air up tires and also run the arbs.
Thanks guys.
 
Are you thinking electric compressors or engine driven?

Electric will require a decent sized tank to run tools or seat a tire bead without fighting, but they are cheaper and easier to package and deal with.

Engine driven, I would go with a york/tecumseh style compressor as a first choice, but they are big and bulky. A sanden will put out good volume as well and is a little easier to package under the hood.

I'm leaning toward an electric setup, just because the primary use is going to be the lockers, topping off tires, blowing up an air mattress or blowing out a filter, but it would be cool to spin a air ratchet or a 3/8 impact too.

Been debating on one of those, the guys at ih8mud seem to love them?
