Default Air Compressor

What air compressor do you have in your JK?

Also, is there any certain feature that you have/dont have on your compressor that is very useful?

Thanks

This is the one I like. For airing up after the trail it is good and you cannot beat the price.

I've got this one and like it a lot. Comes with a nice carrying bag that keeps everything together for easy transport.

Thanks, I hadn't seen that one yet. Looks very similar to the one Kupost noted

I will be doing the ARB on-board air compressor when I get around to it - fits into the engine bay.

I picked up a Smittybilt air compressor for about $60-$70 and its not as fast as an onboard air system but you can't beat it for the price. It takes about 3 mins or less per tire to air up from 15 psi to road pressure around 35 psi.

Warn Power Plant. I looked at the specs and was quit impressed and when you factor in the price & mounting options. For me this was the best thing going. The compressor has excellant specs and if you price the warn winch and compressor seperately great cost savings not to mention space saving. Retail price is to steep but you can find them for way less if you look hard enough. I got my HDPP for $1330 shipped less than a year ago.

And the winch feature my compressor has is very useful.

I was starting from scratch though, I see you have a winch already. The warn standalone compressors are great quality and specs but they do think highly of them when it comes to price.

The Warn Power Plant is super nice. I aired up with one last weekend.

Same one. Have found under a couple of different names. Also you can check Pep boys. They sell them and some times have a sale on them.
