Vehicle mounted twin air compressor

I'd need ear defenders if I was going to sit in the cabin, right on top of a running compressor for 7 mins. 🙉
ha, fortunately own quite a few pairs of those. They should be relatively quiet these days? My 4x4 one from Ring is quiet - subjective I know and my hearing isn't the best!
 
You know where this thing (and maybe even the tank) would fit perfectly? Under the passenger seat right side space- also right next to the power supply. Super convenient. Could even work out an adapter for the plug that mounts external to the box, or footwell area. And there it is. Mount this Kraken panel on the side of the 2 seat utility version metal box that surrounds the battery space- and the plug is easy to get to. Thanks @Krabby
Just remember that these compressors get pretty hot, so will need some ventilation. Under the front passenger seat (if there is room!) may be better than the sealed bos under the rear seats!
 
This T-thing (T-Max?) would probably suffice for me. It's not for a workshop but only for occasional use.
 
Why not just install a central tyre inflation system
They show one installed on a Toyota. I know I would rip those hoses off in about 2 seconds though!

They are very good for the money and quite capable of blowing up 4x4 tyres from flat. Gets very hot though. I’ve certainly had no problems. But will probably upgrade to a twin cylinder ARB should my Tmax fail.
 
But a through axle system like one offered by Carraro on it's tractor axles would solve that problem.
Yes sure. I don’t know that system. The only ones I’ve seen on unimogs and MAN trucks look vulnerable although they wire solid pipes
 
I thought he'd said he wouldn't be getting one? "Wasted" his money on a new 90.
 
I've reviewed and used and owned quite a few compressors. The ARB Twin is my favorite by a significant margin. I wrote about it here.

Third vote for them being hot and loud. I've got the ARB twin mounted in the cubby, just aft of my right rear wheel (Tacoma). I've had one electrical fault, but no mechanical problems with the unit. They are pretty tough, but I'd prefer to have it inside the vehicle. I'm pretty sure it will last longer and be more reliable if its inside the cab some where. No way around the noise and heat though. Its a conundrum...
