Link won't work for me - what is it?
 






copy and paste the link.... it is an air compressor kit.

i would save and buy a VIAIR unit. Pump like that tent to overheat and have problems even if you have a waranteed one. best bet to stick with a notable manufacturer.
 






Thats what Ive been thinkin. Although I wount be using it all of the time, it will still be well worth it when I need it and it works great every time, and I dont have to fool with fixin it.

By the way, NissanBoy, howd you fit 35"s on your '97? Is it a 2" TT/AAL and 3" Body? I d sure like to see some pictures
 






It doesn't say how many CFM's & the duty cycle of it.. I would stay away from it if its less than 1.5 cfms, & 25% duty cycle. Just get a Viair and get a tank to go with it.

HAHA!!!!! :p

"for people who actually 4x4"

Yea with Thornturds :D
 






Lotta flex in that front end huh. :o
 






fixed the link


I dunno, it is hard to tell these things. From "looks" it looks like a ViAir painted black and red. It might be able to handle what it is intended to do.

BUT, as Ben pointed out, without some real specs on the thing, I wouldn't have anything to do with it. If you can get some specs, compare them to a ViAir.
 






Just to give you reference.. I have a Viair/Airlift 300 that is 1/4 hp and 30% duty cycle. It can fill up a 5 gallon air tank from 0 to 120 psi in 6 minutes. Its good enough for my uses right now but I intend to get a heavy duty commercial compressor like a Thomas 100% duty cycle 2.2 CFM compressor
 






i agree... get some specs and what not. I doubt it will be woth the money cause after you replce it twice you could have had a good one.

I got 35's on my explorer with 2" tt, custom leaf packs, shackles, and a 3" BL. pics are in the b4 and after thread.
 






Im gonna email him to see if he has any specs. I see that he has a few of these for sale, so maybe he will, or maybe he juts stole them. Ill post them if I can find them.
