Which detachable air compressor?
I am looking at buying a 12v air compressor so I can air up after running trails. I don't want to keep it mounted to the jeep because I would have good use for it with other vehicles also. So the alligator clip style is what I am looking for. I'm not worried about it being fast just needs to do the job and want to spend $75-100.
What options are you all using? Thanks for all the help.

I am using an MV50 also and am very pleased with it. I've pumped up 8 35s with it before. You need to turn it off between tires or it will build up enough pressure to pop the hose. It is a real bugger to get back connected again. I've had mine for over 2 years. They are less than $60 on Amazon.

Been using my harbor freight one for 2 years. Our trail boss has had his for 5 or 6 years no problems. Only complaint is of someone else doesn't have one it will overheat after about 6 tires from 10-11 psi to 30-35psi. 2 or 3 minute break and good to go

I've been really happy with this one. Used it half a dozen times. Gets hot but takes 3 minutes per tire from 14psi to 32 psi. <img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=587826"/> Good price too. Also have 1050 model which has a few attachments.
I've considered the one from Harbor Freight but not a big fan of their stuff specially since the price isn't any better than this one.
Anyone else with other options??

I've read similar reviews on Amazon and I am not alone with my experience.
I don't know what else to recommend, as I'm in the market for a new one as well!!

Oh and if you do buy the warranty be sure to keep the receipt, I did, and when I went to make the claim it wasn't in their system, they tried to talk their way out of replacing it, but I said I had my receipt for the replacement warranty and one way or another they were going to replace it.
