Hello All, Just thought I would share this. My dad gave me this somewhat quality 12V air compressor the other day so I made it into a little "onboard air" setup. The whole thing got bolted into this little toolbox I had laying around with 4 bolts up through the bottom. Here is some pics.

 

I replaced the cigerette lighter plug with battery clips because I hate cig. lighter plugs, how cheesey. Don't worry, there are good connectors under all that tape.

 

Everything tucks into the box well, along with another gauge for cross checking.

 

Then, shut the lid. It makes for good keeping and allows you to put the compressor in sand or mud with no worries. Will it puff up your new IROKS? Heck No! But I only ever air down as a recovery tactic so it suits me perfectly and cost me less than a lunch. As always, the best part is, I did it myself.

That's nice work Lamm
Nothing I hated more with my old plug-in than to mess with all the freaking wires that were all over the place

 

Well done!

hey that looks really cool. i do have once concern, however. it may not be a big deal since this is a smaller compressor. but most (all) air compressors i've seen, say to keep a certain amount of volume around the intake open. if you have that down in the box (even with the lid open), there may not be enough volume for the compressor. i don't know if it will damage anything, or if it just won't work at maximum efficiency. but it's worth thinking about.

 

Looks great.
Allow about 1 hr after the run to air up......

j/k

 

I dont know if its as fast but its smaller and cheaper than my power tank and any other on board air ive seen.
