Default On board air compressor?

Just got my master flow tsunami compressor in the mail today, and was wondering who else runs with air on board... I really like being able to air down for some of the sand/rock stuff I tackle, but I'm sure it would work in case of a flat too. What are other people running and what do you use it for?

I have a 2.5 gallon for for my train horns but soon I'm hopefully going to be upgrading to a 5 gallon and the 2.5 and the 5 gal tank will have a quick disconnect for an air hose so i can use it like you do

I have an a/c pump converted to oba, 8 gallon tank under the bed. Works good, I use it for airing the tires, using impact wrench, etc.

I am really curious how you have this hooked up. I have always wanted to do this on my F250 but never seem to find a good how to. Seems like it would be simple but if anyone could mess it up I would lol.

I would love to have train horns, but the cops aren't here would know its me and stop me just for being a *******. I couldn't get away with it in a town of 750 ppl.

I just acquired a hi lift jack, so I think I am going to wire in the oba and mount it where my old jack (the crap one that lives between the jump seats) was, grab another jack cover and cut some holes in it for the pressure gauge, hose attachment and an on/off switch.
