    It fits with plenty of room for tire gauges and other smalls. The bottom has a piece of hard material in the bag so nothing sags down. Heavy weight canvas also. Black is nice but wished I got the camo.

    It seems to work fine, it may bang around a little bit when off road, but I don't hear that banging around as much as the passenger seat belt buckle banging the pillar.

    A few days after buying my 2017 dropped by HF and bought the little compressor, a tiny 2 ton jack and tire repair kit. Already know they are chincy, el-cheapos but had numerous flats on my 2011 and 2014 tacomas so its inevitable there will be flats on the thin firestones....

    I had 3 flats in those tires over 11k miles. Ran over 3 screws during that time. They are very soft.

    Viair 88p ftw
    - hooks to battery direct therefore no blowing cig lighter / acc fuse. Higher amps.
    -2.5 mins-3 mins from 17 psi back to 38 psi.
    -Fits in cubby as shown.
    -Haven't done it yet but can be modified with pressure switch to auto off at your set pressure.
    -For 10 bucks Canadian or probably 5 usd.Buy from 4wheel parts and get their extreme warranty on it and you're set for 3 years no questions asked ( apparently )

    Only con built on pressure gauge is about 5 psi low, but now that I know that, it is what it is. Making it a very slight con.

    All these instant air pumps with the gauge on the pump are off. Mine has a sticker with +/- of how it is off compared to pressure

    I own both of these tire gauges but find myself reaching for the Accutire Digital pressure gauge the most. The Joes Racing pressure gauge has a push button bleeder valve which is nice to drop the air pressure in your tires.

    I've heard nothing but good things about the Viair line, and they are reasonably priced and Amazon prime eligible. if you want to try and cheap out a co2 system check with any friends who are beverage industry or brewery employees. They could probably hook you up with a bottle for cheap and you can piece together hardware from HF. you do have to refill them periodically depending on use but they're quick.

    I'm going to probably go with this, or the vaiair. Trying to decide between the two.

    I think I'm going to go with the Viair 300p for my 2017 TRD Offroad 4x4. With the rear locker, I figure I might as well go portable for tire air-ups.
