Went out in the snow in the mountains yesterday. I used my Morflate 4 tire system and the Sherpa Box Air for the first time. It took me about a minute to air down and about five minutes to air back up. It was very nice and worked great!

I'm having the ARB Dual Compressor installed under the hood, after I take delivery in about 2 weeks. Hope it works as well as yours!

I installed the ARB under the hood and it works great! The install was very straightforward and no issues. It is pretty amazing how good the quality is on all the different brands.

So about that Sherpa Box air-

Is that a rebranded arb? Looks to be the same form factor on the pump.

If so, thats a couple hundred bucks difference. I like money. Any issues with the run time?

Fortunately, 4x4TruckLED's, is my vendor and will be installing the compressor and fog lights for the modular bumber.

Excellent! What lights did you go with? I am waiting to pull the trigger on my lights and rack.

Not sure how quick the arb would have taken but 5ish minutes for a refill seemed great to me and at $300ish less, I'll take it. Arb and sherpa both come from Australia, I think.

One thing I would add for any small on board or portable air compressor use, is a good pair of work gloves. The fittings get hot!

I don't believe it is a rebranded ARB. The Sherpa is listed as 30% duty cycle, 4.6 CFM peak, and ARB spec is 100% duty cycle and >6 CFM peak.
