So I know of some people with "under the hood" air compressors in their Tacos... Who has one? Or who knows a good one at a somewhat decent price with mounts and all that good stuff included?


I'm getting this so I just really need a compressor and somewhere to mount it to in the engine bay

Inflate, Deflate, and Equalize air pressure in all 4 tires, all at once. See all of the uses below: - Air up 1 to 4 tires simultaneously (Less stress on your compressor!) - Air down 1 to 4 tires simultaneously (Less stress on you!) - Check all of the tires' PSI from the manifold (No more...

I have an ARB single mounted in the driver side bed cubbie. It's not cheat, but it does come with all the wiring, switches and relays you need.

4 tire inflators won't save you any time and only add expense and junk you have to cary. Save the money and spend it on a better compressor. The bottlenecks with inflating are with the compressor flow rate and the shrader valve.

So you store it in the bed cubbie thing and take it out when needed? Can you show me kind of how your setup is by chance?

No, it's mounted in the cubbie, hard wired with a switch and i run hose to an air chuck and then connect a hose and inflator and take that to each tire.

How did you run the wiring? Would wiring into the bed outlet so when you turn that on you can turn the compressor on work? I'm not the best with electrical stuff lol
 
Check my build page (link below). I have a twin arb compressor on the passenger side that is awesome. Wiring is a little tricky, but there are some good instructions and a YouTube video that I link to that will help you out if you go that route.

Tires air up in about 6-8 minutes (33's), and it's nice to have air for inflatable kayaks, bikes, air dusting, etc.
