Airing up
Hey guys, what do you think is the best small air compressor to bring for airing up? I dont have a compressor on my winch so I was wandering what's the next best thing? Thanks

Heard alot of good reviews on the MV50. Goes for around $60 on Amazon. I recently purchased the one from Harbor Freight for $60 and can get my stock Sahara tires (255-18" A/Ts) to 30 PSI only taking about 3 mins per tire if airing up from 15psi or so

OnBoard Air system
I'm really digging that complete OnBoard Air system in the new Quad catalog. Comes with all the under hood mount stuff you need... but $500 bucks, (ouch).... just try to think of all the quarters saved from having to air-up at the dang gas station.. it'll pay for itself in 20 or 30 years.

Depends on budget. Harbor freight offers half off coupons you could use to get one for around $40.
Extreme air is a solid electric. I run a warn power plant on my JKU.

They feather badly at 35 but don't at 40... duratracs seem to be different from other tires. I'm going to chalk them to be sure in a couple weeks when I stop working 16h days

FWIW, Iv got one from HF that is similar to the MV50 and it seems to work great.
Thinking about Looking to see if it can be mounted under the hood.
