    I've got the twin cylinder compressor and it's very fast. Pumps my 33" tyre up in little over a minute. I use it in conjunction with the ARB Deflator: http://www.devon4x4.com/products_b/p...-deflator.html

    The tanks would be nice, but considering how often you'd use it I recon you could make better use of the space.

    Ideally go for this: http://www.devon4x4.com/products_b/p...nch-12000.html

    As for de-deading, I would strongly suggest you buy some beadlockers or failing that get some Staun internal bead lockers: http://www.devon4x4.com/products_b/p...-inch-7/9.html

    I say tank if you don't mind using the space in the back. The reason being is you can go with a non-100% duty cycle compressor and use it to build up the tank, which will allow you to get better use out of air tools when you are out and about. Small 3-5 gallon tank would probably be good.

    Here is another option if you're a diver, or know one who can get your tank refilled.

    A fifty cu. ft. aluminium scuba bottle.
    A bit dangerous for leaving in the boot in the event of a catastrophic rear end collision, but works good for filling tyres & powering air tools...





    I've incorporated tool storage bins on the sides, & a sub/amp into the design.

    Also, check Kenny's gallery, he has a slick CO2 tank that's another good option.

    118dB is more than enough and a fraction of the price of the other ones

    ...and if you want to get through the London traffic, get some of these: http://www.airhorns.co.uk/product.as...559&deptid=283
