Same system I have and I love it. Zero issues and if you decide to get an air locker you will already be ahead of the game. The tank may take some Tetris style thinking to strategically place it. Some guys put them in the area close to the spare tire. I mounted mine under the front skid plate just under the bumper and it's been happy there ever since.

Opinion: it would look great in your rig.  And mine.  :)

You asked for an opinion...

I have this system:

Powertank 10 lb  (http://www.4wheelparts.com/Air-Compressors-Air-Tanks-Air-Accessories/10lb-Track-Pack-Package-B-System.aspx?t_c=89&t_s=567&t_pt=9990&t_pn=AASTP10-5250-CB&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping&emlprox=out&ppcfon=1&gp=1&gclid=CNSQz7WRmtECFRKVfgodqlgAMw)

The good:

- portable, not tethered to a vehicle (easily moves from a Nissan to a Toyota ;) )

-installs in several areas

-takes up very little space

-quick fills - 33" tire in less than a minute from 15 psi to 35

-each tank fills 12 - 33" inch tires. Although, I've experienced at least 15 with mine.

-cool factor = +10

-powertank stickers add 10 hp

The not so good:

-sourcing fills in your area. Took me a bit, but I found a local welding supply that fills for $16.

-More expensive than OBA.

-fittings can frost over during longer fills

-when you are out of gas...you're out. Watch your gauges and plan accordingly.

There's a $1.98 to add to everyone else's .02.

Air Zenith OB2,  twice as fast as the 480 and draws the same amperage as the 480...

It's a nice pump with a small tank from a very reputable company.
    Opinions will differ on what's best (I too have my own preference) but this is a solid set up at a reasonable price.

Hey guys...this is up on AAV right now, a really good deal:

I'm tempted, but already have one.  $300 is a smokin' deal on a Powertank, and this is a 15#'er with the carry bag, and a liquid filled gauge.

Jay, I just dumped my home made POS OBA for a set up like this (but not nearly as clean). 

No maintenance, mobile, faster, and now cheaper.  Do it!
