Good 12 Compressor?

Can anyone reccomend a decent 12v compressor? I am heading down to Big Shell and would like to air down my tires for soft sand and also have a source of air incase of a flat. Might be hard or impossible to jack up the truck in the soft sand if i get a flat. I'd like to be able to plug it then air it up if needed. I don't want to invest much cause it is more of a precaution and would probably never be used untill I go back. Id rather do this than have to rely on fix-a-flat (don't like all that juck in the tire on the rim)or trying to rig some stable surface to jack the truck while the other tires just sink.

Harbor Frieght has a cheap piece of junk that works pretty darn good. We have two (for two trucks) and they have heldup for a few years now. I have an ARB high Output that works great but I don't need it much with my CO2 tank.
