Whether you’re a seasoned overlander or a newbie off-roader – we can all reap the benefits of an onboard air compressor. Its many capabilities include actuating Air Lockers, inflating tires after deflating, setting tire beads, drying off cookware at camp, pumping up inflatable paddle boards and kayaks, and blowing the sand off your boots and floor mats.

This has been on my list of things to get for the Bronco that I still don’t have yet. 😂 Build date 11/14/22 though, so light at the end of the tunnel at least.
