On-Board Air Compressors
On-Board Air Compressors FAQs
Do I need an on-board air compressor for off-roading?
If you air down your tires for traction, you need a way to air back up, and a compressor does that. A portable one works, but a mounted compressor is always ready. It also lets you run air tools.
What is duty cycle on an air compressor?
Duty cycle is how long a compressor can run before it needs to rest, usually shown as a percentage. A higher duty cycle suits filling large tires. Check the manufacturer's rating.
Will the Wifey Air System bundle fit my 4Runner or Tacoma?
The bundles are listed by generation, such as 5th gen 4Runner or 3rd gen Tacoma. Match your generation to the title.
Can I run air lockers off an on-board compressor?
Many on-board systems can power air lockers, but it depends on the system and the lockers. Check the listing for details.
Mounted or portable compressor, which should I pick?
A mounted one stays in the vehicle and is ready when needed. A portable unit is easier to share between vehicles. Think about space and how often you air up.
