I'd look at the DeWalt 20V Corded/Cordless compressor (DCC020IB), especially if you already use their cordless tools.

I also have a Viair and have been very pleased with it. I think it is this one: https://bestjeepguide.com/portable-air-compressor-for-off-road/
You hook it up to your battery terminals for power.

It looks like you can get one for under $200: amazon.com/VIAIR-40043-400P-Portable-Compressor/dp/B000X9AXR8
Thanks for this post Marine Hawk ! I think this compressor Viair 450P is quite expensive. Obviously, if you ask me, Smittybilt 2781 (5.65CFM) won't be worse.

This right here.

I can honestly say I can air 37s down in just a few minutes and with the 400p, I can air up nearly as quick. Airing down to 18 and back up to 32 .... minutes with the 400p.

I get a 2fer with it. Toss it in the back of Gladis or when we take the wife’s JL, toss it in back Of JL. No need for 2 systems.

Can’t beat it for the price.

Best bang for the buck! 160$
Smittybilt 2781 5.65 CFM Universal Air Compressor

Found it to fill the fastest.

Many times I have not aired down and many times I have. you will tend to chew up the tires less if you air down. Nothing spetacular but going down to 25lbs helps immensely! Few instances you need to go to 12 lb's. and keep it higher if you do not have beadlocks. Breaking a bead is a PITA.

+1
5.6 cfm vs 3 for viair and super flow, so it should fill the fastest. I have one and it seems to work well.
