    I've been looking into do a compressor mount as well, but I was wondering if people run this compressor without a tank and if that is ok? I mostly would use it for filling tires after airing down, but what other things to people commonly use the compressors for? (don't need it for lockers)

    I guess you could use it for bike tires, mattresses (camping), rafts or floats for fishing mountain lakes? Just brainstorming.

    You can use tankless compressors for truck tires, just look for one with 100% duty cycle. Many use the viair brand. I recommend the 450p

    Thanks @Muffdiver That was basically what I was going for, a cheap setup to refill tires after off-roading.

    Mounting an on board is pricey. Mount, compressor, tanks, switches etc. Can you justify spending a nice chunk of change to simply reinflate your tires some psi after airing down? Depends on your needs but from the sounds of it you're better off getting an 80$ compressor you connect to your battery (depending on size of tires). My opinion it's way more money and trouble than it's worth for just tires.
