About using ARB twin compressor

[Grenadian]

Hi,
I have a Wrangler and a Grenadier so I bought a portable ARB compressor.
It only comes with one air hose.
But I want to inflate 4 tires at the same time.
What else do I need to buy?
And can I use the positive and negative terminals in the engine bay with the engine running for comp?

Hi @Grenadian

To inflate or deflate all 4 tyres simultaneously you would need something like this from Maxtrax, or this from Air Parts Australia. Those are just examples. There's probably a brand and stockist closer to you to look for.
You didn't say which ARB Compressor you have but if it's a single cylinder unit then a 4-way inflator might be slow. There are also 2-way inflators that just do 2 tyres at the same time. Check it out now you know what to look for. Searches for tyre inflation rig or tyre inflation spider will get results.

Yes, you can use the positive jump start post and an earth in the engine bay to operate a compressor with clip on leads.
Ineos say to use the engine lifting ring as the earth point but many owners just use the exposed bolt next to the positive post.

Something like:
-MAXTRAX Indeflate (4 hose version). AU Distributor of the South African Indeflate.
-Campboss Air De-flate 4.
-QuatroAir Pro: 4-Tyre Hose Kit.
-Clearview Tyre Spider (but you already have a tank)

Best to run a Twin ARB Air Compressor while engine is on. ARB states this.

You can use the jumper terminals under the bonnet. See Rok Dr Guide

Thanks for the reply. It's ARB twin+air tank.

A 4-way inflator will be fine.

We have these from Indeflate, I only use the 2 way versions.

But they have them in 4 way also.
