Default can the SLS pump be rigged to activate ARBs or inflate tires?

I've been shopping for my Disco today. Looked at a DII & thought I didn't want SLS, so I'd have to convert it to springs. But then I thought, "hey, a free engine driven air pump might come in handy!" So I'm wondering how handy? Could the SLS pump be rigged to activate ARBs or inflate tires, for instance?

Yeah, probably...I'm new 'round here! The system that keeps the suspension airbags inflated.

It'll pump over 100#, but it's not 100% duty cycle rated (not meant to be)

For reliability, you need a 100% rated pump Similiar size the peanuts all take 5-10 min to inflate a tire to 40# much less an airtank to 100#

luck,greg
