Wolfbox HyperFlow X 12V Twin Motor On-Board Air Compressor install

[Bird Dog Off Road]

@WolfBox really taking the OffRoad air compressor market by storm. I recently installed the onboard twin motor compressor on the underside of my rear cargo shelf and love it. A lot quieter and quicker than the comparable ARB unit.

How's the 4k movie projection? lol Just kidding, looks good but in the way looking back, that would bug me I think. Nice addition to the compressor market and doesn't necessarily give the "many brands from one manufacturer" vibe.

How heavy is it? Would the side windo molle panel hold it if it was bolted to?

Seems off-brand for a camera/mirror company. With such a massive difference in competency between developing cameras a mirrors, and a completely different category air compressors with moving parts

Nice setup, and it's good to see more options in this space! It's interesting (and good) to see them call out a 100% duty cycle on it, unlike most of the cheaper options. They do claim it will handle high heat environments. Where you have it mounted will completely avoid that issue, but that location is not an option for me, at least.

Personally, I'm hesitant to trust a new entry into the space to be mounted under the hood in high heat conditions. The ARB one (non-brushless, anyway) is about the same price and has a lot more proven durability. Heat kills air compressors, and while I really want and like having one in the engine compartment, it's a harsh environment for any compressor. ARB has a lot more of a proven track record.

I hope my skepticism is misplaced and in a few years we see a lot of use of these. More competition is good.

I was wondering the same thing.

65A of current draw is a lot. Depending on where it is mounted you might need more than the 10 AWG wiring they provide. https://circuitwizard.bluesea.com/

Maybe post some information like how long it takes to air up 4 x” tires from x to x pressure and what the outlet temperature is after doing so. Who cares what it looks like and how quiet it is.

They also have power running boards now.

thanks for the additional info

You mean mounted like this? My ADD panel has held this for two years through a lot of terrain with no issue. I’ve seen other window molles that I would not trust with the weight. So the molle design is probably a more important factor than compressor weight for mounting like this.

I checked the website it’s 20.4 lbs. and LWH is 10.4/6.5/5.35”. My ARB twin is 10.8/7.5/4” and 17.4 lbs. So ARB is a little lighter and more importantly to me close to 1.5” thinner.

Don’t know about the Wolfbox, but the ARB stays cool enough after filling 4 38” tires from 10 to 38 psi for me to leave my down sleeping bag stuffed behind it

Nice try Wolfbox, but no way I'd trust that plasticy looking thing for my rig when I need to get home from a trail.

Y'all can of course do as you wish, but for mounting, it's ARB Twin (mine is mounted under the hood) and for the past 3 years of steady usage both on and off trail to fill tires, not a worry.

Neither heat, nor dust, nor splashes of water and filling two sets of 35s on a hot Summer day in Georgia made it sweat. The hose would fail before my compressor.

Recovery gear is not where you should look to save money or for "a deal". Wolfbox makes decent rear view cameras, so this is likely either some Made in China cheap branding pickup, or a private equity "market expansion", but what it isn't is an ARB Twin.... Quick means nothing. what you want is reliability if you actually wheel.

VAIR make good compressors too if saving a few bucks is needed.

A friend of mine has his mounted there. There are some pics of it too in the video.

As mentioned in the video, my friends went to this from the ARB compressor back in April. He lives in Phoenix and no issues yet. Says he has no regrets.

I agree ARB is a solid company but now there is more competition and that’s a benefit to everyone.
