So my new ARB needs air.
Viair 400c with the 2.5 gl tank, will it fit under the frame? Or smaller system?
Or just to buy an arb single compressor, or something else?
I read here and there for days but still confused as to what is smart... :)

I knew a bloke who not having air conditioning on his land rover fitted an ac compressor and used that instead of a very expensive arb one and he reckoned that it could run simple tools as well as his diffs. Might be worthwhile looking at?

I have a Viair system with a small compressor. It does the ARB locker and can inflate the tyres and run small tools

So many good electric solutions around i think those would suffice for me.
I want to keep my AC :)
If I were to go down that route I would probably try to use the PTO to power hydraulic winch and compressor. But that would be the other car. :)

I have looked at yours Martin,. but have you tried to fit that tank under the car?
I do not want it inside..
Rust will kill it I know, but do you know if there is room?
Might have to re-route the exhaust a bit then maybe?

I have a few oxygen tanks from the ambulance I could use as a high pressure powertank or for a smaller low pressure air tank(s) below the car.
They are smaller and could probably fit inside as well. But they are heavier than the Viair tank i guess..
Like a small fire extinguisher.

I have never looked to see to be honest. It would rust out pretty quickly as it is thin metal.

You could source a small lorry/van cylinder if you wanted something of exterior quality
