I like this... With an external tank too. With a regulator, this might be a solid option for compressing a road shower setup 👍🏻
Not sure how accurate it needs to be for a road shower, but it has a built in regulator.

Underhood? Or do you have a sneaky location - I'm hoping to see if they'll fit underseat.
I found the sneakiest of places, but its not for the faint of heart..

A little sneak peak for ya. Thats the driveshaft to the left and exhaust to the right. Install isn't done yet - only the compressor is mounted. This is the highest point on the bottom of the vehicle and will make the rest of the install SO easy. I'll do a full write up once I'm done but I still have another day of work once I get a few parts.

I misquoted the follow-up, but check the post above from me. Too tired to fix.

I have a lot of Milwaukee tools, so went with the M18 portable compressor. I like the idea of it having more uses than just the occasional offroad trip. Unbelievable how quiet it is.

And... I will be buying that now. I have a ton of Milwaukee tools and this will be super helpful around the house--no idea they made a compressor.

But anyway, at the moment I have a cheapo Harbor Freight compressor, but that's really just intended for airing up on cold winter days at the house when I'm too lazy to drag my big compressor out of the basement. Definitely wouldn't trust that thing for off-road situations.

For my Bronco, I will probably buy something that can run off of a 12V power source considering the Bronco has one of those built-in. And much like @Roger123, Viair has always been solid for me in the past, so that's likely what I will go with.

I don't know I don't like that its only had one review lol

I just got it and it seems just fine... It's exactly the same damn compressor. Seriously. Same flow rate and everything else (other than logos).

By the way, there are two types that look very similar (a 2.32 SCFM and a 5.65 SCFM). They have the same duty cycle etc (40 mins on the 5.65).

My Viair 400P has been a champ well over 15 years
I went just a little smaller with the 300P, as I only had 32" tires to inflate. I've had mine near 10 years, and it has been very useful, and very dependable. I use it for a wide variety of inflation needs, and even for blowing out the water lines in my travel trailer when I winterize it.

I like this idea. I have many DeWalt cordless tools, so I'm looking at going in this direction. Thx
