Permanent air compressor ... any good?

[rumy Member Find all posts View Profile Close rumy]

I can get a ARB CKMA12 model air compressor supplied and fitted for $540 by ARB .... has any body got one and are they good to inflate 4x4 tyres or am I better off buying a stand alone one like the Sidewinder one for $220 from Derek?

I put CKMA12 into the search and came up with this lot pretty quick.

Short answer is they are excellent compressors.

They are good. There are others that5 are also good. I can't comment on what Derek is selling. The first link in Andrew's post above is great with a lot of info and full details of how to DIY. It's not hard to install and it gives you a greater appreciation ofr how your car fits together so that if something fails you might have enough nouse to fix it yourself, plus you will probably save yourself around $200 which is good by me.
