the accident forgiveness would be a question for tyler and satin as far as how they might fair against a deer or another vehicle, I'm sure its stronger than the OEM crash pad behind that plastic

 

What model Viair compressor do you have and does it have the twist-on or clamp-on chuck?

Had no clue you'd be interrogated today, did you?

 

hey Richard,

i wanna say I'm running the 300P id have to run out to my truck and double check, it has the clamp on chuck, also one of the necessities if you are going to wheel. NOAH actually needs to jump on this and order one HA HA HA!! paging noah, get a compressor boyeeeee

The only experience I've had with clamp-on chucks is on bike pumps which is always terrible. They never go on without hissing and leaking. I've been going back and forth between the Viair 300P and Q Industries MV50. That chuck on the Viair keeps holding me up.

It's s very good fit, tight clamp. If you wanna save the coin go for the MV50, viairs are the bomb though, I want the 400P actually

 

Im not going to waste $150 on a small compressor that takes 45 minutes to fill up my damn tires!!!!

What I really need is a co2 tank. 5 minutes and off we go, even with 35s.

 

I understand from people that have them, that a co2 setup comes with its own issues too though.
I think they can freeze up if it's not warm enough out. Also, when they're out, you're sol unless you have a backup compressor.
If money were no object, I'd opt for both!

 

We can all just rent ours out to noah!! Ha ha ha

 

Thank you guys for letting me air up with your compressors. I shouldn't have made it sound like that haha, it just annoys me that there's not a more solid all weather option. Money is an object here and why I probably won't have the truck ready in time for RT this year. I would like to buy a 400p Viair though. I can't be running around stealing people's air! Haha

 

I now have the 400H. 2.25 minutes from 15 psi to 35psi for 35"tires. That's only 9 minutes for all 4.

CO2 is awesome but also problematic. I will keep mine in the truck in case I need to seat a bead, run air tools, or need to air up even faster.

FYI difference between the to:

400p (portable)
400H (hard mount)

 

Really? Yeah haven't done much research as you can see. That's plenty fast for me. Did you mount it on the passenger side by the fender?

 

you gonna bail? i hope you can still make it buddy!! keep me posted on the diagnosis of whats wrong with your rear wheel

 

Well took it to Firestone today, got it aligned and supposedly balanced. They "diagnosed" it and said everything looked fine. But the wheel is still wobbly and not right.

Soooo, I guess I need to make an appointment at Stevinson and ask for Jace.

And I hope not! But I want to save up for a MTB and some other truck parts. Also dont want to be too hard on the truck on 35x12.5/ stock gears out there.

 

Gotcha, well hopefully you get everything figured out before moab!!

 

Go buy yourself a 400P and I'll buy that 300P right off you. Don't think I won't. This can happen.

 

Ha ha ha ha, not gonna happen right now buddy!! I just dropped a bunch on tires, UCA's and install.

 

Suit yourself. I'm just disappointed you're not going to honor those new shoes with a new compressor instead of filling them with dirty air from an old beater 300P. It's a shame, really, but it's your decision. I won't judge.

 

HAHAHAHAHA, good call, on that note I'll sell you my 300P for $169.37

 

No I mounted it where I had my other air compressor. Twas a tight fit but it's in there. I think since you have a newer truck your only option is to put it on the passenger side.
