[QUOTE="BigJ, post: 106800, member: 62"] I looked into those (as well as a couple equivalent 1/2 or 1/3 duty cycle units). The Viair seemed to be top notch. For me I like the idea of a constantly charged tank. There are rare occasions where I could use some air the a job site, and one day I maybe might consider running bags in the back to get the payload rating up (although that's a looooong way off if ever). And I kinda liked the idea of a project. It might be kinda challenging to shoehorn this system into our trucks somehow ;) Hi Z. No problem! No, what we're talking about here is "air compressors" and "compressed air storage tanks". Air compressors are what re-inflate your tires when they get low, or what drive air powered tools (like impact ratchets for removing lug nuts, to change a tire), or any number of other things. A storage tank holds compressed air so that there is a lot of air ready to be used ASAP. You can inflate a few tires before the air compressor would need to turn back on, for example. So this "system" is a compressor, and a tank and all the stuff that goes along with it to make it work. Its most basic use for me will be allowing me to pull off the pavement, "air down" my tires to enable better offroad handing and ride comfort, then pulling back onto the pavement after the run and "airing back up" right then and there. No need to drive for XX miles to a local gas station; something that with low air can be unsafe at worst, and at best will wear out your tires very very quickly. Make sense? [/QUOTE]
