I was hoping Ineos was going to have a built-in air compressor in the cargo area as an option, but Toyota and their new 2025 4Runner Trailhunter beat them to it :(

Yeah, but it’s still a Toyota! Is the compressor plastic 🤔

I bought the Agile Off-road single kit but then returned it as I wasn’t comfortable with the space/heat between it and the secondary battery (I’d have kept and installed it if I didn’t have the secondary battery setup). I went with a Milwaukee brand, but the same idea as some above with a drill, lantern, fan all running off the same battery packs. This is the most heavy duty tire inflator I’ve ever seen (and it should be for that price).

Love my Makita. Have a lot of Makita and some Festool. The Makita post hole auger is phenomenal, as is the Chainsaw and just about every piece of kit they produce. I completely agree about the inflator also. Only today I took it with me to help out a friend with a flat. So much quicker than my ARB.

I only buy and use Makita because it works, they honor warranties, their stuff almost never breaks and its bang for buck is unmatched (in my view).

However, regarding compressors. I think everyone in my field and inner circle uses a very basic portable compressor. They range from XTM / Dune / Boss - none use the ARB because its cost is out of control. My last compressor was a portable 12V, cost $85 bought in 2008 and lasted until last year (15 years!).

Just an update for this thread. I just purchased an onboard/fixed compressor - I am pretty certain this is an ARB carbon copy! For $155 AUD cannot go wrong me thinks! Can buy 3 of these at least before a single ARB/TJM. I'll tell you how it goes once I have wired it up and tested.

1.) I have the twin arb suitcase. It works great but it is heavy and loud and takes up space in the case.
2.) I have a dewalt portable battery powered unit with the 60v battery. The 60v battery is amazing and it will fill the tires but takes a long time.
3.) Hooking the dewaly to the underseat battery has proven annoying because of stuff loaded on the seat everytime I've needed it.
4.) I don't think a nato plug option is better because getting that cover on and off the nato plug is no simple quick task.

I actually think No.4 is best single-vehicle option. Spin the NATO cap off, plug in the suitcase. I have multiple vehicles, so I let the ARB alligator clips in place, but I'm considering a 2nd harness just for the Gren.

How would you configure your 2nd harness?
