    Okay I do not want an expensive Arb or fancy air compressor just want one to hard wire behind my rear seat just to have when I need to air up my tires after a trail or mud fun.

    Seen a few on Amazon between $30-$75

    Has anyone purchased one off Amazon that's cheap that helps with the very basic needs???

    MF-1050 from pepboys.

    https://www.pepboys.com/product/details/9357343/00739

    48.99 right now with code POSTCYBER

    Good little compressor, i use mine quite often, comes with a nice carry case and fits behind the rear seats.

    Fills my 265/75R16's from 18 to 30 psi in like 2.5 min a piece.

    Every time this subject comes up, the MF - 1050 seems to be the go to for air on a shoestring budget.

    When I searched the threads you know how it goes. It picks up key words and hard to figure out what I'm actually looking for. I just need something nice and cheap

    That seems to be the best compressor in that price range.

    Yup. I've seen one guy hard wore his and it was clean but I like the concept more than the reality of it.

    It's a great compressor though, no regrets for that price at all.
