New Jeeper, Airup, air down?

[Varooom]

Hello all,
I am an old guy new to jeeping. I have a 2023 Mojave. Getting to do some wheeling in north/mid Florida.
I have a good bumper, winch, tires and recovery equipment.
The only thing I still need to get is a way to air up/down.
I am looking at Marrflate Ten Six compressor with their four wheel hose, manifold and Gadge kit.
Total is about $600.
Is this a good purchase or are there other options?
Not a rock crawler, mostly higher speed fire trails, mud puddles, etc with occasional slower trails.
Thanks for your time,
Varooom

Not a rich man, looking for options. With that said if it takes $600 to be fast, safe and complete, I am in.

It really does depend on how often you think you're going to be actually using it.
I am fully satisfied with a kit I put together on the cheap, and it all fits into a medium-sized tote that can be removed from the vehicle when not needed.

Small compressor with pancake tank
A decent inverter that I already had
A hose and some fittings
Takes maybe 15 minutes to air back up, but I'm not in a hurry.

Thanks guys,
Much better options.

As a Central Florida trail rider, I think that's a lot of stuff you're not going to need on a regular basis.

When I bought my Jeep in Oct 21 I would air down every time I went out them came to realize the Jeep/ wheel combo was far more capable than I was giving credit for.

If you deal with a lot of soup on the regular then maybe you do need it but I feel a lot of the stuff which the rock crawlers out West which Jeeps are most associated with doesn't necessarily translate in these here parts.

Nice Mojave!! I've got a Rubicon in the same color!!

I like the Morflate stuff. I ESPECIALLY like the 4 at once tire thing. I think you can probably get buy with their less expensive compressor and save some money. But the 4 in one inflate / deflate is the shiznit!! You're looking the right direction!! I love mine and would never trade out for a one tire at a time system.
For what it's worth, it takes me about 3-4 minutes to air up from 20lbs to 37lbs.

This is the compressor I've got : ($230)

You san save $60 if you don't mind taking a couple of extra minutes to air up.....

This is the hose kit: ($224)

About $450 total. Or just under $400.....

Good topic... I have 2 compressors that work off 12V and are portable. 1 is a Vivair that connects to the battery like jumper cables and the other is an off brand that connects via a 12 volt adapter to the inside of my JTM.
My experience:
This last weekend I aired my JTM down to 25 per tire. The other one in our trip aired his JLR down to 19. He has a direct mount under seat ARB. I was able to air up faster than the other jeep, although I had less to increase tire pressure by 6PSI. All this to say I saved a butt load of money over his ARB and did not take away from the time spent airing back up to 36 PSI.

As others have posted you can get by spending less $$$ one a air down hose assembly you can get the stuff from Amazon or H.F. then "Roll your own" for quite a bit cheaper that does the same thing. Air compressor choices are from no name brand that works to "I've got more money than I need" brands. Myself I have multiple portable air compressors two or 3 plug into cigar lighter outlet and a few that originally had clamps on battery connection. I had "on board air" in my XJ back since 2000 or so. It could run a Impact wrench. I hardly ever did use it for that. Most of the time I use the cheap one I bought at PX gas station to add some air to tires or air bags.

I have the moreflate system, and I like it. Most of the time I finish before most everyone else. But I am pretty lazy(hahaha). I use the Staun <sp> to air down, just easier. I also bought the larger compressor, which really helps. Overall I am happy with my setup.

I went arb twin and kraken for about 800 total. Its one of my favorite mods, the increase in ride comfort alone is worth it, never mind the increased grip and traction in the soft sand and mud.

Back to the original question........based on your intent with your JTM, I do not see a need to air down

Airing down has performance benefits, but it also has comfort benefits. It's also the cheapest and easiest way to make a jeep do jeep things better.
