Default Possible to use onboard air compressor for air horn?

I am very unfamiliar with the air compressors on the GX470. If I added an airtank with a check valve could it be filled by the stock compressor without hurting the system? I would like to add an air horn.

I would go with a separate air compressor. The one for the air suspension isn't rated to run for a long time - that would be needed to fill a tank. Plus a leak could leave your vehicle undrivable.

That makes sense. Thanks for the reply. I believe there is room somewhere under there for a compressor and tank.

Lots of room if you're willing to sacrifice the spare tire.
