What portable air compressor do you travel with?
Looking for a small compressor to keep in the rear cargo area. 12v and 110 connections would be nice to have.

Small enough to store it in the blue circled area. Fill car/truck tires, bike tires, rafts... |
If it fits in that area it will not have enough capacity for car tires or a raft. It will work but may take a very long time.
Many use a Vair or ARB larger, more expensive unit and those may still take a few minutes per tire if you use it to fill after airing down for off road. I use a 10 pound CO2 tank; fills in 30 seconds. Power tank has a nice one, I made a home-brew CO2 system. Bought a tank and regulator separately plus hose and ARB gauge/fill chuck. I use the space you showed to store my snatch strap. |

This is my first one for the 4R and it has been doing a great job so far. I have used it probably 20 times and had no issues. I usually air down about 5-7 lbs less than normal street driving when I go on dirt/washboard/forest service roads and it takes about 10 minutes to get all tires back to street conditions. I'm not sure I'd rely on this if I was doing any kind of serious adventure in the middle of nowhere, but like I said it has been great so far for my uses. And it fits perfectly in the space you want. I keep it there all the time.

I run a viair 88p, but I don't store it in that cubby hole. THe cubby has my jumpers.
|
Again, I don't believe this will fit in that cubby, but it is small relatively and hasn't let me down yet. Can't beat the price either.

I picked up a Viair 90? I think it is. Works really well. Faster than the guy who was next to me airing up with an ARB single compressor...

Thanks everyone for the input.
I'll take a look at the Viair products. |

I bought this one a couple years ago. I have only used it a few times, but it does the job. I will say I had to replace the 12v plug, which included some minor soldering. It also seems to struggle to fill my 285/70/R17 tires past 40 psi. I just tested to make sure it fits in that cubby. It does, but it's pretty snug when you try to put the hose in there with the compressor. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk |
viair 88p.
This thing airs up super fast but man these things do get super hot. But the heat is just common for tire inflators. Just make sure these things aren't sitting in direct sun while in use. |
