Pre-order live!! A new innovative ARB Twin Compressor mount (within spare tire mount)

[Maul_ii]

Hello Bronco family,

Here are some photos of a new product we have been working on here at AGS Off-road. Introducing the Bronco Air-gate! We are looking to get some opinions from our customers. Would anyone be interested in a product like the one pictured below or would you rather have the mount built into a modular tailgate support? The version pictured below could be available for purchase much sooner than the modular tailgate support version. Both versions are still being tested and need your help to figure out which one to focus on more. Product pictured below is a proto-type and is not built to the same quality final production parts will be.

Thank you,
AGS Off-road

This has my vote! What's the price point?

Doing any pre-orders?

What's the ETA to market? I am looking at options now as I just recieved my 2 door badlands a month ago and air compressor is he next mod I want to tackle.

OP - Great looking solution. My only concerns would be dust on the pumps and in the coupler.

So, what size tires you airing up with a single ARB compressor? How long to air a tire? Do you have it mounted, if so where.

With 37s, you won't be happy with a single cylinder compressor unless you like hanging out for 45 mins after the trail with a noisy compressor running nonstop in the background, especially if you're doing each tire individually. And that single ARB will be white hot by the time it's done.

I ran a garage test timing a single ARB filling four 35" tires simultaneously from 13 to 40psi. It took the ARB single 17 mins. On the trail, it usually takes me 25-30 mins doing one tire at a time. Here's the thread:

From my understanding the auxiliary switches are terminated at common locations throughout the vehicle. So maybe there is one close to the tailgate area to use for compressor?

issue with those lines is they are like 16 or 18g wire so don’t take high loads, you could run the switch on it for sure butI wouldn’t run the actual power on it

I am definitely interested, the placement is brilliant use of wasted space. Please advise when available.

I love it! Any issues with heat buildup?

Can't imagine that being an issue, especially when most of these are mounted inside hot engine bays.

Hands down best option that I’ve come across. Great idea thanks for continuing to innovate.

Awesome! Since I read 7 pages and didn't see it:

Best Bronco solution of any type so far.

I like mounting the compressor there for the space savings for sure, excellent design, got this on my list of options for sure!

I wonder though, the compressor could probably also be mounted on the inside of the tailgate and use the passthrough to get the air located inside the tire, obviously you lose some space this way, but you also keep the compressor cleaner if you don't mind having it in the cab.

Does this add weight that would require stronger hinges? Also can you have a hose on the back instead of a solid mount? If you have a tire cover it appears the solid mount would be a pain. Other then that this is a great idea. It's interesting this was not done with Jeeps, and any other rear tire carrier. I carry a Viair P400 portable. They recommand not changing the lenght of the power cord so the compressor get the proper electric power. Do you need to run larger power cords so this gets the proper power? Thanks for posting.

Super clever! Nicely done

 

[Aztec1382]

Yeah super clean install

 

[Odd Ball]

This is perfect!

I really hope this works well in practice. Heat issues, weather/dust, maintenance, weight, etc. Add a retracting dual air-up hose to simultaneously air up/down front and rear tires and this would be the best!

Great out of the way location! My concern would be the dust buildup on the filters. They would be difficult to change, the spare tire and holder would need removal. How would you clean, wash, it without removing spare? That option is a great idea these would just be my concerns. The air filters are small and would fill with dirt quickly.

it only draws air when it’s on
The air filter on your car only draws air when it’s running. Not parked in a garage
