on board air compressors

jsomedaysoon · Jul 11, 2008

i'm in the market for an on board air compressor to put air back in my tires after i get done driving on the beach. i usually drop the air pressure pretty low and it takes forever at the gas station air pump and there's usually a line i'd rather not wait in. so in my search for these things i've realized that there are tons of options. any where from 10 dollars to a few hundred. what should i be looking for and can anybody recomend one?

My dad carries one of those cheap ones you plug in to the cigarette lighter it works put it does take forever. But it beats paying for the air at the gas station.

search around the internet they make conversion kit for york air compressors (came stock on some fords) to turn it from an AC pump into an air pump then all you would have to do is set up a tank regulator etc whatever you would need to make it all work.
