Very nice, that looks awesome!
What are you putting in the space between the tires and the jack handle?

for large tires like we have, I would suggest a ARB compressor, I have a CKMTA12 under the hood with a small VIAIR tank...

But maybe in your case you need something more "portable" like the CKMTP12 (or CKMP12 but it would be a little bit too weak IMO)...

That Viair compressor is a bit weak IMO...Data sheet says a maximum of 40-45 Liters per minute, where the ARB CKMP12 is around 60-65 LPM...

My compressor (CKMTA12 with twin cynlinders) is up 150 LPM and I find it already a bit slow when it comes to inflate all 4 tires...With the Viair, you would wait for ages until you'r done ^^

Haha well let's just say you'll get what you pay for...But your Viair P450 is already 250€, which I find is a lot considering the low performances...Just add another 250€ to the basket and go for a CKMTA12 like I have...It's powerful but not so big, like 30x30x15cm, so it could fit below your jack mount I think, you can wire it to one of the AUX upfitters (the compressor is also delivered with its own relay and switch if you want)...The fit and finish of these compressors is really nice...

About the tank, it's not absolutely needed for tire inflation ; initially I didn't buy the tank and made my first marocco trip without it, it went fine and inflation is already pretty quick (1min from 1bar to 2.5bar...)
Adding a tank gives you a little more reserve so inflation will be a little bit faster, and you could even use an impact wrench, blower or whatsoever pneumatic tools...The bigger the tank is, the faster it will...I have a 4L tank under the hood, will show you some pics tonight...You could also install it below the cabin along the frame...

And dude, seriously, 1200€ for a train horn ?? You want to scare the camels away ?? :lol2:
