The previous-generation single-motor onboard compressor — the workhorse that's been a standard in overland builds for years. Still actively sold, lower cost than the brushless CKBLA12 sibling. Standard mounting and integration with ARB air lockers. The pick when budget matters more than the newest motor technology.
