Best portable air compressor under $100?

Make a rectangular plate to bolt in those holes and bolt the compressor to the plate

 

SUB'D

 

Can you unscrew the hose on the 88p and use a different hose/guage/Chuck?

 

No, It doesn’t have any fittings on either end where you can use a wrench to remove the hose at the pump or nozzle.

 

I've been using a Viair for over 10 years. Very well made compressor, and seem to recall it was well under $100.



When it dies, I'm buying another.

 

I use the Slime 40026, it feels really sturdy. I have had mine for over a year and not a single problem. It has a longer hose so it is easier to reach the rear tires, the gauge is on the hose not on the unit. I usually keep the unit behind my back seats by itself.

I also have the viar 88p and it works great

I also went to harbor freight and bought a small bag for it, which fits the compressor perfectly (so if you don’t buy a “combo” kit with a storage bag)

 

This is what came with my Solstice (no spare, nowhere to put it).

I seriously doubt that GM spent over $100 on customer safety.
Sorry no brand name. Their dealership will probably charge you a arm and leg for it.

Going out on a limb but ... a Mexican hooker?

 

Why does she have to be Mexican? She can be from Detroit or Chicago

 

Valid point.. how about Florida?

 

The Masterflow MF-1050 or any of its different names is a decent pump and probably the best for the cost as it can be as low as $40. I used one for a solid 3 years of heavy winter snow use, I only stopped using it when i went to 40's and wanted a OBA setup and just couldnt see using that to wire up. Its still in use as i gave it to a young family member who is just getting into off roading.

 

MV-50 has been a star performer and Baja-Proven. Around $80.
Be sure to turn it off between tires, just for just insurance... let me tell you why: When airing up I was moving from the left side to the right side of my Tacoma... and I pinched the hose under a tire, which cause a pressure build-up in a couple of seconds, blowing a valve, and no more pump!

 

I've had the MV-50 above for 5+ years. At the time I bought it, it was the best reviewed inexpensive compressor on Amazon, but I may have missed the Viair. No issues with the Superflow, and it works quickly for my needs, but I only use it about once a year adding 5-10 PSI to four tires so it's not like I ask much from it. I store it in the bag in the cab. The cables and/or the hose could be a little bit longer for use on a truck, but it works.

I just looked on Amazon to see how much it costs, and it looks like it's currently out of stock.

 

I also have the MV-50 and used it regularly on / off trails for the bigger 34's on the Tacoma. However, I also recently got the Milwaukee M12 inflator (good package deal with batteries) for the convenience of using for just topping off the taco and our other vehicles. It's nice to dial in the PSI and just let it go. I still count on the MV-50 for the big jobs like airing up from the trail or inflating a new tire.

Check out this bad boy.....it is absolutely awesome.

 

Who has beadlocks (assuming they aren't fake) and is afraid of scratched wheels? Those two ideas completely contradict one another lol.

 

I hear ya. That's too bad, because they work flawlessly. Grab on tight, and no lost air when removing them.

 

Doesn't scratch my stock rims, but even if it did......the rocks scratch em anyway! Totally get your point.
