IAG Tailgate Compressor.

Thats an interesting setup, and folks speak highly of the Viair compressors. American Adventure Lab has a kit that puts an ARB single in the same location, but without the tank. I looked at but went with a twin to make up the air-up time.

I'm looking forward to IAG's install video to see the tank and bracket setup. There is a goodly amount of room under the tire carrier, but its not unlimited. I've kicked around putting an air tank on a quick disconnect for air tool purposes, but honestly that seems like a whole lot of hoo-hah for a limited application.

I have a power tank set up in my 2dr but I would have seriously considered this as an option if it had been available when I purchased my power tank. The only bummer to this system, that I can tell, is that the air up time is slooooooooooooooooow.. I think they claim 3 min per tire to go from 15 to 35..

Heck I can do all 4 of my tires in less than that with my Power Tank..

I've been keeping an eye on this as well. I'm not super worried about time, because I wouldn't be using it that frequently & it looks like a pretty nice way to have it set up. Like someone else said - I want to watch the install video & see just how they're doing everything.

Same. Looks pretty straight forward for the most part but not sure why they don't show an image of the tank mounted behind the spare on their product page as that's going to be a pretty big reason to buy or not buy IMO.

Not the greatest image on the planet but I found a shot of the tank inside the spare tire carrier. They say it weighs 9lbs so not a lot of extra weight back there..



I might actually consider this set up and ditch my power tank. Not anything I am going to do right away but maybe in the future..

I wonder if there is enough room to mount a twin in the tailgate, but my twin is rather heavy so maybe not a great idea unless I upgrade the hinge.

Some one has a kit to mount a dual arb inside the spare tire mount on the back door. I'll have to see if I can dig it up. I believe I saw it in a post here on BN.

I don't think so- The twin is... um.. like twice as wide. :) The space in the tailgate is taller than it is wide. I don't think you could even get the twin in the space without a hammer, and then I am not sure what you would secure it into. The AGS kit secures the ARB single to the access plate.

FWIW, I like the twin a lot, and I like using the space under the wheel carrier. But I would really like an air tank. If you run a tank, I think you either have to go with this set-up, or sling it under the truck in the back like @Johnny Mo did with his raptor https://thebronconation.com/accesso...om-onboard-for-arb-aluminum-air-tank-t.17315/

Yeah its steep. Thats for the whole kit though. I think the bracket is like $200 by itself.
