12 volt air compressor?

What are you using for a 12 volt compressor on your cj? 

So when you all go wheeling and mess around with tire pressure its bicycle pumps or hot air then? 

On the Overlanding forums they seam to like two brands ARB (if you have a BUNCH of money) and VAIR which there are almost dozens of choices all the way up to constant duty units. A tank of any size will help.

In my build I am planning on installing two Firestone 1 gallon tanks in the space behind the Spare tire brace in the rear Wheel Housings. (I have braces on both sides I installed when I built my tub. I'll have 150 psi pop off and drain valves on the bottom of the tanks which will be tired together and to the compressor which I am most likely going to mount behind the Right Inner Fender down low right above the frame on an aluminum platform. I'll have air hose outlets in the engine compartment, under the edge of the dash (pointing down towards the floor near the right side of the dash, And in the back of the Tub where I have my trailer connectors located where on a stock frame the K brace would be right above the Pintle mount. I will also have a 4) gallon DOT approved air tank from a Ford 8000 cargo we scrapped at a place I worked some years back in my Off road trailer. It will be feed by its own small compressor or be able to be filled by the VAIR unit in the Jeep.

I plan on using air for not only tires but to power my water system in the trailer to include a 3 gallon shower system. OH and the Air Mattress in the trailer.

One could probably figure a way to mount this one under your hood somehow and wire it in permanently if you wanted to.

I have built an enigne driven compressor out of a York compressor. Woorks great and puts out enough air I can run air tools with on the trail. Runs up to 120psi and kicks back in at 90psi. single switch on the dash to turn it on/off and a quick connect at the front and rear with a 1 gallon tank in the frame. runs great and requires little electrical power and is FAST!

When you guys run a York does it have a clutch? I know even with a clutch it does use some HP to drive the belt and pulley.

Just throw this kit in the Willys.  Has a small, but effective compressor included.  Plus lots of other useful items.

This would be another way to air tires.
