Portable air recommendations?

[Area51BS]

Looking for what’s popular, inexpensive that works well for the twice a year use from 18-20psi. Happy doing two tires at a time. If it can do four, great.

Do you have any cordless tools? If so I would see what inflators they have for your battery brand. Milwaukee, Dewalt, Ryobi, etc all have inflators.

After multiple days going down the air compressor rabbit hole I went with a Morrflate.

(I got a 4 hose manifold, really like having it, different company as the MORRFlate were back ordered. EZ-flate )

For your use case this is all you need. I've used it for years on my Grand Cherokee. I finally broke down and built a 4-tire inflation system, cause I wanted a project, not because I needed one, and it also works very well with that system.

You'll have a million people chiming in in that you need CO2 tanks, giant compressors, fancy hoses, etc. No, you really don't, just get a quality compressor that connects directly to the battery and you'll be fine and happy.

Now, if you want "fancy", be my guest! In the Bronco I have a dual ARB that replaced the Viair portable I was using. Not because I "needed" it, it was simply something that I've wanted since the 80's and finally could afford to splurge on one, LOL.

For airing down just pull the valve core and watch the pressure on the dash, easy peasy. Just make sure you have a few spare cores if you're the dropsy type.

I would buy the 4 tire Moreflate kit and their dual compressor. What’s nice you can do other things while all 4 tires are airing up and don’t have to bend over and constantly check pressure. I used my air gauge on the dash when airing up.

Lifetime warranty on everything. If the air chucks wear out they send you brand new ones, if the compressor acts up they send you new one. If the zipper breaks on the bag they send you new one. All no questions asked. Best customer service and warranty in business!

I would also recommend carrying a cheap spare compressor incase yours dies or filling up 1 single tire. I don’t believe you can use their dual compressor on just 1 tire.

Thanks all. I do have the power tool and rechargeable portables. But those are only good for minor psi boost such as when temp drops. Just want decent next level. Built in would be cool. But unnecessary.

Napa has a good dual piston unit and there are lots of “knock offs“ of it for less money…Moreflate and a few others have nice units that are a step up. There is an good old thread some around here comparing them…I wouldn’t mess around with the smaller single units…a 4 way setup is handy too…good luck!

The Milwaukee ones are pro level - the 18v can almost keep up with my ARB twin. Even the 12V one can push air quickly but would need a couple of batteries to do a set of 35s.

But the ones you have picked out are good too.

Check out your options on our site. Everything you sell is something I'd use myself: https://www.4x4truckleds.com/truck-...ems/air-compressors/portable-air-compressors/

Has anyone tested or seen a test between Morrflate - EZFlate - Thor's?

Thor's is more expensive by $140 than Morrflate for a 4 hose system. EZFlate compressor can do 1 tire or all 4 but is out of stock, Thor's hose is out of stock..... was trying to get a Memorial Day sale but only Morflate seems to be in stock.

I use to have a ARB twin mounted under a seat in an older Jeep. Seems like these new brands since then are better and cost a lot less.

We stock the ARB Brushless Single and Twins. We also sell the non-brushless.

As for MORRFlate, we have limited stock on the TenFive Pro in stock right now but we also sell the other ones on our site (free shipping on all compressors within the 48 lower US States) and no tax as well collected outside NY.

I'm a fan of the ARB because they are built like tanks.

The others are all chinese made air compressors however they do the job. We tend to sell the MORRFlates since we also carry and sell their hose accessories. It works well although it's designed to work with their multi-tire kits and it's a PORTABLE KIT

ViAIR Compressors are also rock solid which we sell.

 

[MDrums]

Wow those ARB prices are insane these days! WOW..... no no not spending $800-$1000 for on board air. Does Morflate come in other colors than Acid Lime Green? I was mounting this on some Molle in the cargo area....seems like I need to go Google and research more on these and what to use.

Might have to wait till July 4 for sales....?

I’ve been more than pleased with my @TireFlate kit. The wife got it for me a couple years ago for Father’s Day and it’s been great with no issues. If you’re looking for options and comparing I’d definitely recommend to give them a look.
