2. Has the single ever been unable to fill a tire? Or is there a max pressure it cant fill past? max PSI is 100. for automotive use you should have no issues.
3. What mount did you use? I assume no add on tank? no add on tank. I used an LFD offroad stainless steel mount that goes on the passenger side. I ran an m6 up through the wheel well to create a stud on a weld nut that was already there and mounted on there with a nut vs. using a bolt. made the install much easier and I like that set up better
4. What switch gear are you running to activate it? switch pros. arb single and dual are so easy to wire. pos and neg to battery and switch wire (only 1 wire) to positive on the switch panel. that's it
5. Any other details about install? I have the fuse for the compressor up along the wiring loom near the firewall. tried to keep is as far from the hot engine as possible

I honestly don't think the tank is needed unless you have huge tires or are running lockers or air tools or something. I have had my arb since 2022 and it's been great. I don't use it all the time. but it has never failed me. when it comes to engine heat, I use the air chuck on the compressor so the hood will always be open. I've never had a heat issue but I also don't use my compressor all the time. I actually use it to clean off my wood working projects after sanding so it does run for quite some time every now and then

also I've seen a lot of unique mounts for the air chuck. if you are plugging into the air chuck or routing - make sure the first 6-12" off the compressor is stainless hose. the chuck gets hot and can melt hoses under heavy use. I didn't do anything fancy. flexzilla lines with an 18" leader stainless steel. get's the job done.


I have a portable viair 400A (auto shutoff). it's mounted inside a carrying case. it's a great compressor as well but it is nice having the arb which is more compact in the vehicle. if my single breaks I may upgrade to a double since I have the room and the price is good. but for me and for now the single is plenty for my uses

here is the LFD mount I used. it works for single and double so upgrading is easy

I did this previously and it was a wiring mess and difficult to do any kind of maintenance in that area (adding lights and accessories) because the accessory tray, compressor, wiring harness, made it difficult to re-route wires.

What i ended up doing was move the compressor behind my air intake, and left the accessory panel behind the OEM battery location. Way happier doing it this way. I can add accessories without having to disassemble everything, and lots of room around the compressor to let it cool down.

Anyways, here are some pics of the shrockworks mount and a bunch of add on accessories for the compressor:

0: vacuum pump relocation kit (next to compressor)
1. locker actuator.
2. Wits end pacifier and safety wire.
3. quick disconnect brass chuck.
4. battery box in front of intake

cheers!!!
