extreme aire... HEAVY duty, very well made. Not too many portable compressors with a 100% duty cycle. Means it's built strong enough to run constantly.
Even the large magnum version fits with a K&N intake, on top of the fender in the engine compartment. Or the smaller ones should fit just fine. Another option is the complete ones in the tool box- then it's portable and you can use with any vehicle.
I have mine set up without a regulator or auto-shut off and just use their flow-through air chuck- so the compressor can keep running without blowing up the air hose.
If you want to run air tools, you'll need to go full hog with a tank, pressure switch, etc and make it into a full air system. I might do that in the future, but I'm not carrying air tools at this time.

As for deflators- Staun are the best. Google it for reviews and places to buy.

15# CO2 canister from a fire extinguisher store ($100 + Fill ups are $15-20)
- This will fill you up 8-10 times (sets that is)
150# regulator
1 Hose kit from HD or Walmart
1 Air gauge/filler
You might want to make a short 2' hose connector and just carry the tank to each wheel. It takes 40 seconds to fill up each tire. You can do multiple vehicles at once...

Good suggestion. That way you can take the tank anywhere. Where do you get them filled up at?
The same place that services fire extinguishers... I fill up at the store I bought my canister from. Others have been successful filling up at Paintball fields.
Consider weighing the bottle when its full (80% is considered full) and empty. That way you can gauge how many fillups you have left.

I, along with all of my 4R friends use CO2 tanks. Search craigslist, you're bound to find one! I use 20 lb tank and that lasts forever, and here in CO theres a store that fills it up for 12 bucks! HIGHLY suggest you do this. Very fast fill up.
