Stopped into Harbor Freight today in Saddle Brook, NJ and picked up a 12vdc air-compressor on sale for 49.99 here's the link

Not too bad, 3 mins. to air up a tire.I went with the PowerTank which is more expensive, but you can run some air tools in case you breakdown on the trail.

 

Did you mount this inside, in the back?

 

it will fill a CAR tire in 3 minutes - plan on a bit more time to reinflate the tires on the H2. looks like a good deal though. all it needs is a quick connect power plug so you don't have to open the hood to connect it to the battery.

 

you can't mount it for good inside the back? Wasn't there an option to have one inside from factory?

 

the factory mounted compressor mounts under the chassis, behind the rear differential. there is no inside compressor mounting location, at least not on the early models.

 

hoq is the factory one, any good??

 

Looking to replace my OEM compressor for a better one to use power tools. Any tips?

 

any number of compressors would probably work, size is the main concern for getting it in the back. you might even be able to find a direct replacement compressor that is aftermarket if you have an OEM number to reference to.
