    I bought a MV-50 for $50. It works just fine on my 31s.

    All four tires from 18-20 psi to 34-36 psi takes about 15 minutes.

    I bought two of those when they first came out (cant remember what they was called then) but they was only $25, sold one for what I paid, and mine worked about 3 times and died.
    Since then Ive had CO2, sold that and got an ARB, and the ARB compressor has been fixed 3 times now, so Im either going for the Oasis or ExtremeAire compressor and a small CO2 as a backup :cool:

    basically they steal other companies designs, have been sued many times, have an "F" rating with the BBB, sell cheap junk, they are know as the "walmart" of the 4x4 world, and no, I havent shopped at a walmart in over 7 years lol, Ill just leave it at that.
    speaking of walmart, have you seen this: http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/

    thats a whole other thread, lol but real quick they have stolen BudBuilds designs, Marlins, and now toytecs.
    They are THIEVES in my opinion, no different from the guy that steals your rig, stereo, bike, laptop etc, a thief is a thief.

    i paid like 80 for mine :(

    I like trail gear, stolen designs or not. Absolutely everything in this 4x4 life is overpriced, if I had the know how, welder and everything else Im sure I could make my own parts at a fraction of the cost. Most of the time your paying for the name. Yea its reliable and stuff but they really jack up there prices compared to how much it actually cost to build, and mostly when they build in big amounts it just gets easier for them anyway. IMO:D. and they cant all be completely stolen if that was there way they be out of business.

    i dont care so much for the over the roof part and running a exo on a db would be pretty difficult not to many places you can run it at but that red tuck does have a internal cage

    I like this guy ^^ i agree fully i hate trail gear as well ive alway called them the harbor freight of the off road world use it once then go buy another one

    My experience wasn't as good. I had one and mounted it under my hood. Worked ok but after a few uses it blew a valve and stopped working. They sent me a new part after about 6 emails of trying to explain what I needed. "they sent me an air filter the first time??" Then it broke again. So if anyone wants it they can take it.
