Anyone else get a chance to head out to the Moonshiner's Swap meet today? Score anything cool? I decided to head on up today and check it out. A lot of walking around with no real idea of what I needed. I found a guy trying to sell a used ARB twin compressor and tried to haggle him down. I only brought $200 as my budget and the dude wouldn't budge from 300 for the compressor. In my seemingly unending search for a new air system that will pump my tires back up to 60psi that doesn't take forever, I decided that this was my mission for today. I ended up stopping by and chatting about the ARB twin with the guys at RockRidge 4x4. The guys turned me on to the Smittybilt 2871 5.6 CFM compressor. Ended up picking it up for what I feel was a decent price. So far I'm impressed with it build wise but we'll see how it does actually pumping up my tires.

I changed out the hose connector to a 1/4" NPT so I can use my ARB hose and inflator. The only downside is that it's a closed system. When I pause to check the pressure, it'll pop the pressure relief valve on the compressor...so tomorrow I'll go pick up a fitting to change the smittybilt inflator over to 1/4" NPT.
Less than 3 minutes from 25psi to 60psi whit this set up. Not to shabby.
