    I am looking for a portable compressor for my '05 Tacoma. I live at the beach with beach access, so I would like to be able to re-inflate my tires after dropping the pressure for the sand. Any suggestions??

    $323 ARB CKMA12 On-Board Air Compressor High Performance 12 Volt for Air Locker Differentials and Tire Inflation
    ARB CKMA12 will be more then enough for lockers and that size tire's ! However you can find the twin version on TW for 450 and it will open more doors as in, ultra fast tire inflation and pneumatic tools! Throw on a 1 gallon tank alongside your frame and be able to handle even more hoodies ! But the ARB ckma12 will be more then enough !
    Stay clear of Viair and the others in my opinion

    Power tanks are great if you don't mind having big bulky objects banking from your bed rack or your swing away ! There super fast for tire refills ..but the ARB Twin is very fast with 33"s-37"s plus as noted you can use pneumatic tools.
    Plus easy install out of the way under the hood .

    Just some stuff...
    I've got an 88p. I'm running 32s and it works just fine. Not great, not fast, but it was only fifty bucks on Amazon.
