BTW, the friend who now has my old SmittyBilt started with a portable battery powered compressor. I can't remember the brand, but he did all sorts of research and purchased what he said was most highly recommended for off-roading. It was very slow and ran out of battery before filling his...
I purchased a SmittyBilt, and used it with success for 3 years. A friend now has my old one and likes it too. Plenty fast. Crappy fabric case. Gets hot, like I think all of them do.

IMHO….
- For deflate get some HIGH quality accurate deflators. Stauns are great. $90
- Get a portable compressor with decent flow rate. Everyone will have an opinion on the best options. Spend maybe $150.
- Don’t waste your time on 4 way hose kits. Just watch the dash TPMS and move from tire...

A few years ago my new (at the time) Ram 2500 broke a pitman arm at the knuckle when backing into a parking place at 2mph, at not nearly full lock. Casting and forging defects happen. In my case metallurgy showed just plain old brittle steel, a fabricating error….
Very glad it did not happen...

How old is your Sunrider? The 5.5mm spacer is no longer needed for newer 2 door Sunrider.
I confirmed the recent design change with Bestop support after seeing differences in the older install video, which specifies the spacer, and my new top which did not come with the washer, nor was one...
My Sunrider is much quieter than the hardtop panels. I don’t want to change a thing, nor do I dare mess with anything that seems to work so well already,
