My solution for a CO2 tank in a 2 door.

@thatspecialbeat ,

I am curious about your CO2 setup. That does not appear to be a powertank, correct? Where did you get your tank and how much do you have into it with accessories?

I am trying to figure out if going with a tank that isn't a brand name like powertank is cost effective or not.

Nothing wrong with this but it has to be god awful to refill a 35" or 37" from 12psi to 35psi time wise

Agree, but I don't off-road my Jeep enough to justify a CO2 setup. By the time we are airing up, We are back at the meetup place and the group is just talking about the ride around the Jeeps. Rarely anyone is in a hurry. Back in the day, the CO2 setups were also used for air tools but battery tools nowadays have enough torque to do the job.

It's all on Amazon. Less than $400 for everything. I love it, works great. Just search for a CO2 tank.

my solution:

You aren't wrong but I have other reasons for doing CO2. I have the stock BD tires so it is clearly overkill.

I wanted the CO2 because it is interesting and because I like to use it to fill bike tires on early rides.

I also just hate compressors, especially small ones.

At the end of the day my modern off-road convertible needs a more elegant solution than clipping on a compressor. And actually airing up with the tank is very nice and takes seconds.

Haha. NC aint CA. Spend a half hour airing up and you just bought an extra hour in traffic driving home.

@thatspecialbeat How’s your tank mount holding up? I’m thinking of doing something similar for my tank that I just bought. Thanks!

It has worked out great. I painted it up and it doesn't make any noise. I mostly leave it in. Doesn't take up much space. I wish I knew how to work metal but this is good enough. Apparently power tank is doing a metal one for the 2 door but I don't know the eta.

Awesome ok Thanks for the update. Sounds good. I started cutting the pieces and am on my way!

Looks great! I'm sorry, I'm an idiot, but why would I need a CO2 tank in the bronco?

Lol, I was going to ask the OP the same thing.

 

[the poacher]

I just like having gas options.

It's to air up the tires.

But why not just Oxygen? I am not grasping what the advantage of CO2 gives you.

CO2 more easily/ safely compresses into a liquid so more fits in the tank. So you can fill up more tires per tank. It's why paintball and those little portable inflators for bike tires use CO2.

An underappreciated benefit of a CO2 tank is the ability to power pneumatic tools. It's great to bust out the impact wrench to change a tire, etc. On the trail. You can run 90 PSI no problem.
