I was looking for an air compressor to help me out on the trail since I need to air down the tires and once I get on the road, I would need to air up once again. After looking through many company, there are quite a few choice from basic air compressor to high end system with a tank to support air locker system. Most people can do it with low price budget air compressor/battery start up system, but due to some emergency setup, a 100% duty cycle would be needed, so after checking with others, find this unit is working well from Viair. This kit is more expensive then some of the others, but its well worth it due to portability, connector, size, power, and it does everything great. Here is the review and stuff.

This is an heavy duty unit, works great. I usually just get offered, pop the hood, connect the battery (use the power from car battery with included clamp), connect to tires, and usually will finish the fill of my truck tire from 10 PSI to 30 in 5-10 minutes. Its great unit, come with carrying case, and easily install to work fast.
