    ARB twin, by the time I got slee bracket, manifold, and hose it was almost 900$. Works great, pumps up a 35 from 18 to 35psi in 1 minute or so.0523232100a_HDR.jpg

    I use a superflow mv50, they are beasts and I love them. Airs my 37s up to 25 from 2 decently quick. When it gets hot out I put it on the cab floor with the AC floor vents blasting at it to keep it happy. I have been using a version of this compressor since 2002.

    I second this as an electrician I already had a bunch of Milwaukee tools the 18v inflator works pretty well. Brings me up to 33 on the Tacoma with ease I’ve even used it get me up to 66 on my Ram 3500 work truck!
    Till I get something more permanent on the Tacoma I’ll keep using it!

    Same here. I think I have had this thing for almost 10 years now. Mounted it in the engine bay of my FJ - I keep it covered with an ATV winch cover which keeps it in decent shape and clean under the hood.

    This. Tested out today. Aired down my 165-70R16 stock tires to 18 psi.
    Then timed airing up all 4 at same time to 35psi.
    2 min 24 sec Alot faster than the ARB in my other truck w/ same tire & wheel. My 2009 had a on board ARB, not this time- I'm going portable. I want to use that 2nd battery location in future.

    I decided to save that money and I ended up buying ALL-TOP Air Compressor Kit, 12V Portable Inflator 7.06CFM, Offroad Air Compressor for Truck ,Air Pump for Car Heavy Duty, Max 150PSI for SUV 4x4 Vehicle RV Tire
    $144 ALL-TOP Air Compressor Kit, 12V Portable Inflator 7.06CFM, Offroad Air Compressor for Truck ,Air Pump for Car Heavy Duty, Max 150PSI for SUV 4x4 Vehicle RV Tire
    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08637KCWQ from Amazon for about $150. I’ve used it twice. The gauge on it sucks. I always back check with the gauge I keep in my truck

    Tell you what, the Viair is awesome but the gauge on mine (and my buddy's) is also just not accurate.

    More like, it's consistently inaccurate (and yes with the pump off) by 5psi.

    Agreed

    Having two Viair compressors..300P & 85P

    I just run 5# over the gauge readings

    Hate the 300P hose connector...real PIA to keep connected

    Alligator clamps to the battery are better than the DC plug in style

    Hard wired/mounted are the best...

    You're the second post in a week I've read about that. I think I got lucky, my 88p is dead on. Pump on, I'll run it up to 41, turn it off it reads 32. Depending on weather I'll usually lose about a pound when it cools back down.
