on-board air??

[sn4cktime]

I'd go with a york-style setup before electric - can be costly though.

I went with CO2 and love it.  Last time I went out I aired my tires down to around 8 PSI.  It took me longer to remove the valve-stem caps and plug on my fourway airsplitter than it did to fill them.  300+PSI at 45CFM = fast fills.

BUT, like you said, when the tank's empty, it's empty, then you're F'd.  I keep my spare a little over-aired up just incase.  Then I can split it's 35PSI into my other tires.

If you don't use the A/C to frequently converting it shouldn't be to much of a job since its already mounted and driven. That's my plan after I get some other additions finished on my Z.

Couple of questions for you on the CO2...

#1. How many fills of your 35's do you get?

#2. What size bottle are you running?

#3. Where do you get it filled, and how much are they charging you?

Get rid of A/C?? Are you nuts?

That's what I say....

My AC needs a charge and I haven't done it, so I haven't got used to having it, It still has 1-4 80 air. I don't have to sit in traffic with it either.

Yeah...my JK is also my DD, and I have to commute from the south side of Calgary to Airdrie. I don't really want to do that without A/C during the summer months.

For the amount air is required either a small electric or a tank system are the easiest and most affordable solutions.

Yorks are great for a ton of air, but they are expensive, and do have their drawbacks. All for more air then you really need.

i hear the roofs in those Jks come off......... why do you need air


last summer when my ZJs AC kicked out i just took off the doors........

#1 It depends on how low you're airing down your tires to....see the attached chart from Power Tank's website:


#2 I've personally got a 62cu/ft SCUBA tank, and a 20lb CO2 bottle. The CO2 lasts forever with only 31's and will be great with 33's. If you don't have a SCUBA certificate, you're most likely not going to be able to get those tanks filled or even bought.

#3 Any place that fills welding gas bottles, or even CO2 for bars and pop systems. I just change mine with the full ones we have at work and give the concessions guys $5.

I don't have a SCUBA certificate, but I won't have a problem getting a bottle, or getting it filled. I have access to a 4500 psi cascade system and compressor at work.  What we've got in the back shop would make most SCUBA shop owners wet themselves.
