Hi everyone

I am looking for many mods on my path and air lockers are on the list.It is gonna take some time but first thing first I want to fit my little compressor in the back of my truck ( inflate tire, unscrew, impact gun, tire change, etc...)In fact I want to know if I can plug that compressor in a 10V like the one who is not doing anything in front of my passenger seat or if I should run a line from the engine down to the trunk. I have no knowlegde in electricity so please lighthen up my lantern.Thanks

i havent seen any cigarette lighter compressors worthy of trail use... they are just enough to fill a tire slowly but i would never run a locker off one. Cheap chinese compressors. A good compressor is ARB. It hooks directly to the battery. Heres an idea of how to install one in an R50 engine bay (thanks alexrex20 for the photos)

i dont think that even the arb would provide enough pressure for air tools. You probably need a tank for that!
