Shopper Award

Permanently mounted, this compressor is installed into your truck and includes a full wiring loom with air locker solenoid plug in contacts, mounting hardware with reinforcing bracket and quality compressor isolating switch. This compressor, with the addition of ARB Pump-Up Kit (part #171302) can be used to activate air lockers, and can perform other functions such as inflating camping gear.

So what makes this compressor special? It's small enough to fit into even the tightest space and quiet enough to mount in the cab. It has enough output to air up four 35" - 37" tires in a single duty cycle and typically airs up a 35" tire in just over two minutes.  And, it works. We've tested this unit in ovens, freezers, underwater and in the silty dust of the Simpson Desert and it continues to perform.

Who is ARB?

ARB was founded by Tony Brown back in 1975. He was inspired by his offroading trip to Australia. And soon afterward, he decided to create a company that would provide quality offroad parts for various 4x4 vehicles. During those times, offroaders resort to homemade do-it-yourself parts that often fail during the trip.

The Australian outback is known for its harsh conditions like bumpy roads, extreme temperatures, which are punishing on the vehicles. Broken parts are a common occurrence and Tony decided he could do something better. Using his experience and know-how, he developed more durable equipment that would be able to handle any harsh condition. 

Starting in his small garage, he made his prototype, and from then on the rest is history. Today, ARB has become synonymous with 4x4 and offroading and has been the leading offroading brand in the world. They have become the largest offroad parts manufacturer with a presence in different parts of the globe.

Built with Only the Best

ARB heavily invests its resources in its research and development. The company uses the latest CAD, CAM modeling system that enables them to create and fine-tune its design down to the smallest detail. ARB also partners with some of the top brands in the world like IPF, WARN, and more. This allows them to create products that are unmatched when it comes to performance and quality.
