It reminder me of those def tanks they hung outside the frame rails. Just busting your balls, I like the ingenuity.

Today I had the chance to run the Amazon 12 volt add on I got. It barely reached, like when I say barely, I mean barely. I wanted to keep it up high so the power cable wouldn’t be on the floor and noticed that my top had a gap on the side anyway so I just ran it there. I had also read in reviews that these receptacles liked to lose the plug so I made sure this one would stay put.

So I had some fun yesterday hooking up my trailer and then realized I can’t lower my tailgate all the way down because of the trailer jack. Yay!
Which basically means running that 12v to the rear for the fridge was pointless because I can’t access it with the trailer attached. Not a big deal, I’ll just throw it in the cab.
I also picked up myself a viair compressor (400p was local and in stock at the local bro shop aka 4wd parts) before we were supposed to leave.
Works pretty good, went up 10psi in about 2 min which is good for me. I’m not a nascar pit crew anyway so the extra minute over an on board air that I can’t take in a different vehicle is not a big deal.

You can’t just say that and not elaborate and then turn this into your own build thread, come on! ?

Oh man just tune into my build thread!
Eh, I ended up going with a Super Tank because I didnt really want an on board system because I don't have air lockers, and thats permanent weight added to the truck along side cost and potentially losing the spare tire location. I was thinking about a setup like what you got, or the stand alone ARB compressor but my concern was reliability and to a less extent speed. Another thing that is just a bonus for me is that I have pretty easy access to high pressure oil free nitrogen, though CO2 would still be a cheap and more efficient option.
