Is the 12V twin ARB worth the price tag or is there a better value with the same or better performance? I know arb has the most mount options. Only other option I see is Viair

I have an ARB twin and it's definitely a 100% duty cycle as I usually end up airing my tires up and 4-5 jeeps that are with me without issue. That said, I got mine at a returns/damaged store for super cheap and then rebuilt it. Not sure I would lay out the full price for one. I'd say you're good with any 100% duty cycle compressor so long as you have it placed where it can cool itself properly.
Heck, I used one of those Pittsburgh compressors from harbor freight for the longest time with no issues.... Just very SLOW.

Doesn't this require AC delete or do you mount it in an open spot ( like where RIPP SC mounts ) and use a longer belt?
