Default portable compressor

I am looking for a portable air compressor which will air up 37" tires in a reasonable amount of time(I opted out of the powerplant for some reason!). Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated

Found one at Costco for about $48.00 and it works great. Hooks to battery posts and comes with hose and fittings ready to go in it's own carry bag. Brings back my stock Rubicon tires from 15psi to 35 psi in about 3 minutes each. Price is definitely right.

I wish I knew about that before I bought the Rugged Ridge unit; it was almost $90 and isn't all that fast....

I picked up a MV-50 from summit on ebay, for the money it's probably the best out there. Less than 17 mins for 4 33's from 10-35psi works for me

I have had one I bought from 4 Wheel Parts in my truck for quite a while now. In the 4 Wheel Parts catalog it was supposed to be a Smittybuiltbut I believe it is the same one from Costco, I looked at Costco and could not find one there. If I remember correctly it was about 70.00. The comp. has worked well for everything I have used it for.
