Has anyone mounted two ARB or 12 V compressors on their Jeep. Before you say just get a York or something else let me explain why I am thinking of doing this. When I was in the production industry we used to double stack video projectors calling it the 3 B's. Brilliance, Brightness and Back up. My theme this summer is to create back up or contingency plans for as many potential problems on my Jeep.
The idea for adding a second ARB pump is the same. I already have one to run my locker and pump up my tires. It actually only takes about 20 minutes to take the 4 - 32's from 16psi to 32psi. So if I add a second ARB compressor and use a tank I will certainly decrease the fill up time and have a back up compressor in case one fails to run my locker. I have room for a second one next to the red top battery which is smaller than the old battery.
I can either run them both off of 1 preasure switch or use the separate switches that come with the compressors. I do not think separate switches will be an issue because they will just shut off at 90 psi and this will be a pretty simple install.
Any opinions or ideas?
