how long would a CO2 tank last?
What do you want to do with the air?Quote:

If you have space I would install a small air tank, this will make seating a de-beaded tire easier, I had an A/C compressor with small tank on the blazer and it was great
That being said for my next rig I plan to go with a CO2 tank.
If you can mount a york to your engine, that is the best way to go. If not, in my opinion a Viair electric compressor is. I am just not fond of having to mess with a CO2 tank. Either way I would put a small gallonor 2 air tank somewhere. If you go with Viair watch the duty cycle, the cheapest one seems pretty crappy.
**** co2 tanks. It's not like a jeep has a lot of room for that stuff anyway.
york or don't bother. You saw how painful it was for the ARB to fill that tire, and its the 2nd best one they sell.
There isn't some secret voodoo that viar knows and ARB doesn't.
Viair has compressors with 100% duty cycle. Unless someone sells a bolt on kit for a york, that's your best bet. Evan had 2 of the viair compressors with 100% duty cycle on his old truck with like a 3 gallon tank and he said he liked it.
Those Viair compressers get way up there in price. I am sure you get what you pay for. I'm sure putting a York wouldn't be that hard, thousands of other people have put them on the same setup. I am sure I can find some space for a small air tank somewhere too. Is there a specific York that I need to look for? Any write ups with parts lists on putting one on a TJ?
I have a 10lb co2 tank and like it alot. I fill it up about twice a year. It'll run air tools for a fix or two back at camp and will fill a 37x12.5x17 tire from 0 to 20 psi about 20 times on a single bottle. The total set up cost about $250 but you could scrounge one together for much less. It costs about $25 to fill it each time.
It has it's inherent weaknesses, ie. being empty when you need it, being heavy, not being free for refills. But for the odd time I use it and for the ability to shoot a ton or psi and volume out to reseat a bead, I like it.
Here is a chart that will tell you how many tires it'll fill on a single tank and weight/psi.

you know onboardair.com has a bolt up kit for the york.
I built a york bracket in my high school shop class for a 4.0L. If you can't do it, you should probably take up knitting.
Either buy Kilby's kit (onboardair.com) if you're feeling lazy, or look at it, realize it's a small 1" spacer plate and another flat plate bracket with a 1" spacer welded to it that bolts up underneath your stock A/C compressor, and build it yourself. (With a cross bar support over the top of the A/C compressor if you wanna get fancy and be safe, mine never had one)
You will need Kilby's conversion pulley for your alternator to run the York if yours runs off of a v-belt.
Or if knitting isn't your thing take up wheeling!Quote:

As mentioned above, onboardair.com sells a bolt on TJ kit for around $1100. Comes with York, tank, brackets, fittings.
