Thors Lightening air compressor.

[Retiredguy52]

Sorry I don't fit your definition of "normal order" of what and when to buy. This Gladiator is my 11th jeep including JKU, JKUR, 2 LJ's and many CJ's. Not looking for any validation from anyone. Reading comprehension comes into play here. I haven't got a chance to use it yet and was looking to see if anyone had one for likes and dislikes. I am 72 years old and still do all my own work on my jeeps like lifts, shocks etc. I could have gone the easy way like some do and buy the most expensive brand name, but not built that way. Carry on.

I don't know anything about these inflation systems geared towards offroading and airing down etc. but I have the milwaukee m18 tire inflator and hightly recommend it to anyone already on the m18 battery platform. There are plenty of reviews online showing how well it works.

Wow, lots of typical Boomer Bullshit™ to unpack with this one.

• Criticizing others for thinking before acting
• Assuming "Years on Planet" is the same as knowledge (You might have many more hours in the game, my dude, but that doesn't mean you've got any XP to show for it).
• Insulting others for "reading comprehension" while also equating "Someone disagrees with the way I do things" with "They must simply be stupid and don't understand." I understand, I just think your approach is ass-backwards.
• Assuming everyone else is "just picking the most expensive thing" without evidence. Piling on, there's the assumption that there's some kind of character flaw in others because they purchased a more expensive item.
• Assuming that others don't do their own labor when building their vehicles.
• Throwing age out there as if it means anything at all in a sad attempt to demand respect.

There so much contradicting bullshit here, it's hard to decide where to begin; my personal favorite though is the implication that others "just buy the expensive thing" without thinking, when OP came here after buying the, (and I'm quoting here) "Cheap Chinesium" product without thinking and with no research.

Here you go, you earned this:

Again READING COMPREHENSION.
"like some do " should have been the quote

• "Assuming that others don't do their own labor when building their vehicles."

I believe you are the assuming one here
"They must simply be stupid and don't understand." Your statement not mine.
(I'm quoting here) "Cheap Chinesium" product without thinking and with no research.
I always do the research, but again and I don't know how to say this without you assuming all this garbage, but was looking for feedback from someone that has actually used one. The videos and reviews all looked good. Kids these days I swear. I am done with this.

this compressor is identical to the speedflate, moreflate, deflate, Napa and about a half dozen others.

Just picked one of these up on Amazon. Dual cylinder had good reviews. Anybody have one for some feedback?

I have the compressor and 4 tire setup and it works well. The gauge on the manifold isn’t accurate and I’ll probably replace it with an analog one.

Thank you for actually answering without all the kid drama. This is what I was wanting to hear.

Aired up from about 15 pounds to 35 pounds in all 4 tires in about 5 minutes. I was pleased with the result of that. I can't speak as to the longevity of the setup yet.

I have the total control model with the 4 tire attachment. It'll bring 4 - 37s from less than 10 psi to 30 psi in about four and a half minutes. You set the pressure you want and it shuts off automatically. I love it.

Finally got to use this while wheeling in Arizona this winter. Aired up 35s very quickly, didn’t time it but around 4 to 5 minutes. Only issue I see is it gets pretty hot by time it’s done. Not really a problem, have a beer while it’s cooling off. I have a Co2 tank and used to use that all the time but left it in Colorado for the winter. I think it is faster but takes up way more room while I am traveling pulling the Gladiator behind the motorhome.

I have the MOAB And it's been great.

Thor, ez flate, Napa and morrflate are all "the same" with some difference. Good link

Ez vs Thor vs morrflate
