Air compressor

[rossneill]

I'd love to hear some reviews of the Milwaukee M18 Air compressors. I keep seeing them pop up and some I already have a few batteries, I was thinking it might be good.

I brought a refurbished from acme tool I love it. I keep it in the bed of gladiator under a cover

If you are looking to fill and deflate fast here is what I did. Its volume of air or CFM that's will give you the fast inflate.
I installed an ARB twin put any compressor can benefit from this upgrade.
1. Use only high flow fittings like the JACO Hi-Flo Quick Connect Air Hose Fittings.
2. Use only 3/8 air hose.
3. I drilled and taped my wheels 1/4 pipe and installed Haltec H-47 : Large Bore Tank Valve.
I can now deflate one tire from 28psi to 9psi in about 30 seconds.
I can fill two tires at the same time from 9psi to 28psi in about 2.5 to 3 minutes.
What's nice about this set up I can have the pressure gauge on the normal schrader valves wile deflating or filling with the large bore valve.

I've considered adding industrial size valve stems too. I need to get one of my larger compressors mounted before that would matter. I'm using a portable single 3 cfm right now. I have a 6 cfm ARB clone and a 10 cfm behemoth laying around. The other side is that it's not going to change much if I'm waiting on others to air up. So, I don't have a lot of incentive to air up super fast. Half fast works.

Another advantage to quick fast air up is on a 100 degree day running any air compressor for long periods of time can overheat the compressor.
With this set up my run time is about 5 to 6 minutes for all 4 tires.
I also mounted two of these between the front and rear tires on inside of the frame on both sides.
I have two short hoses will reach both fronts and both rears.

It's a bit above your limit, but I've had my Viair 450P now since 2016 when I was still in the old TJ. It is a work horse and gets used almost weekly between trail running and just stuff around the house. It will air up 33s and 35s pretty quick, and it has a very long duty cycle. I can easily fill tires on two Jeeps without waiting for the unit to cool down. If I had to do over, I wouldn't buy anything else.
