Looks like quite a compressor. Can deliver a lot of air.
I agree that it looks like an old air conditioner pump. If I could fit one of those to my motor I would have that as it in the past it has been the best air compressors and the fastest.
I like the extreme outback one there as
well.
I have a similar one Boss Grand PX-07.

I think eventually it becomes a compromise of cost, weight and performance.
Interesting post though.

That's something I've always wondered about those 4x4 compressors that people get - could you run a 2nd air con compressor in place instead, and would it do a comparable job?

I had an old air-condition compressor fitted to my previous Landcruiser with the 12ht motor. It was mounted next to the A/C compressor with a small belt running off the A/c twin drive.
It was the best pump I ever had. I would have one on this cruiser like a shot if I could fit it under the bonnet. And that is the key why not a lot of people have them these days - no room to fit them.
Cheers

Looks like a compressor for truck tyres not 4x4 use with that model. Pulling 150 amps is alot on a small battery. Pity it's not continuously rated either as with that airflow (7 to 9 cfm) would run some smaller air
tools as
well. I'd turf the silly remote & rewire with a pressure cut off switch combined with a small tank making it even faster for tyre inflation.
Not a bad price for what it is but for
recreation 4 wheel driving use something like the Boss compressor which pulls 40 amps @ 4cfm for around $400 is probably more suitable.
