Default OEM Air Compressor Alternative?

Does anyone have a recommendation for an aftermarket air compressor to replace the OEM one that's stored next to the spare? I just need one that fits comfortably under the cargo floor, but it would be even better if there's one that fits in the same pocket the OEM compressor is stored. Thanks!

If you want one that connects via lighter plug like the OEM one does (instead of via battery clips), you'll want one like this: https://www.viaircorp.com/portables/84p, which is what I keep in my vehicles.

That seems like a better option. Any chance they make one in a similar rectangular package size like the OEM one? It would be nice to tuck it into the same pocket where the OEM compressor was.

naw, pull out the foam block for the old compressor and there's a few bolts there for the old bracket, mebe you can use one of them on the foot to secure it.

That sounds easy enough. I'll just make a simple velcro strap and attach them to those bolt locations.
