^Any variation of that ARB deflator is the best way to go. I've tried a lot of the air down gadgets, but the valve-removing ones are the only ones that do it accurately and quickly. I have a chinese knockoff from amazon, works wonderfully.

This is very helpful. Are there any recommendations for compressors that do not require the power in the bed? I envision myself taking Sandi onto the beach but am a newbie and wondering what I should have for my beach kit

I use this tire deflator I bought from Amazon for $30 and this tire inflator that I got from Amazon for $60. I've used them both a few times without any issues. The deflator is easy to use and the inflator is fast to inflate my 33s and small enough that it fits into the underseat storage in the back.

I use Staun Tire Deflators. A bit pricey but they are quality.

Pop all 4 on...walk away. All 4 tires down to 18psi.

I got these:

https://www.quadratec.com/products/95203_1100.htm

Easy to setup, just air a tire down to your desired PSI, screw this thing on, then turn the top until air just starts coming up then turn it back just slightly. Lock down the retaining nut and repeat for the other 3. Simply screw them on to your valve stems and in about 5 minutes or so your tires are aired down to your desired PSI. It's nice because all 4 tires can be aired down simultaneously.

For putting air back in get on amazon & the Viair 80p I think it is is considered the best bang for buck. There are better of course, but not for the money. If you really wanna do it right then you can install an ARB single or dual in your rig with an air outlet somewhere convienent.

I went the ARB single route with a 1 gallon aux tank.

For the sake of inflating tires I dont think that 1 gallon tank will make much of a difference. It will be handy if you ever wanna run any tools from it though. I put my compressor where you put your tank with an outlet almost straight up from there.

Watched a video the other day with someone timing with & without a small tank like that & the air up time was like 2 seconds different.

I did time it. Made a 1 second difference for me. But thats not why I put it on. As a mechanic I already have a bunch of air tools, so what you said is correct.
