ARB Single Motor 12V On-Board Air Compressor (CKMA12)
The staple 4x4 upgrade — a permanent, sealed source of compressed air for airing down, airing up, running lockers, and trail repairs.
Air Is Freedom Off-Road
Few 4x4 accessories earn their keep like readily available on-board air. Lowering tire pressure dramatically improves traction across sand, rock, and mud — and having a compressor along means you can air right back up before you hit pavement. It's also the fastest way to re-seat and re-inflate a repaired tire when a trail throws punctures at you.
The ARB CKMA12 is a permanently mountable single-motor compressor that runs off any 12V source, giving you compressed air on demand and the independence to travel further with confidence.

FAQ
|
Single or twin — which do I need? The single (CKMA12) handles tire fills and air lockers great for most builds. Step up to the twin (CKMTA12) if you want noticeably faster fills or run larger tires / heavier air demand.
Will it run ARB air lockers? Yes — the CKMA12 is a common choice to power ARB air lockers plus general tire inflation.
|
Is it weather-sealed? Yes — IP55 rated, sealed against moisture and dust for off-road use.
Does it need a special mount for my vehicle? The compressor mounts universally, but vehicle-specific brackets make installs cleaner. See the paired mount below for the 2025+ 4Runner i-Force MAX.
