CR, some others have installed an air tank in their rear door (JollyRogerVXer comes to mind) since they aren't using the space to store the standard spare tire any more.
Jay Dunford (former VX owner and current FJ owner) has a nice compressor set up on his FJ so maybe he'll chime in here. I "borrowed" some air from him during Moab and his set up filled my tires faster than any gas station compressor ever has. I'm trying to find room in the VX somewhere to do something similar.

Who's the cat in Moab this year that had the air compresser that clipped up to the battery? It was small, portable, and worked great. Whoever that was please chime in and tell me the make/model of it.
Peace.

I was one of those people. I have THIS ONE
These will not re-bead a tire though. About the only thing that will do that is a Co2 tank. To re-bead a tire it takes a stong fast burst of air. But for airing up tires after the trail the above compressor is great. I was fortunate enough to get mine for $25 when the company that makes them first put them out on the market. The jeepers got wind of them and the positive reviews and they sold out FAST at that price. Even at the current price it is still a great value. They have been compaired to the much more expensive Viars.
