I am not planning on getting very expensive compressor. I bought one those crap ones on amazon not knowing.
What are you guys using?

Viair 88P7 with the 7 pin round connector for power. They make it also with battery clamps if you don't have a tow package with the 7 pin round connector.

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.

Milwaukee not disclosing the cfm specs is all I need to not see. Physically it seems to be about the same size as most 12v compressors.

I've had a Mean Mother Exitrax 12v for years, never an issue. It stays in the back of the Jeep.

I use a Milwaukee M18 Air compressor for my JL and Silverado. Works great when temps drop sub-zero and the tires need to be topped off. Usually up to 10 psi. I put a quick clamp air chuck on and it is in a padded Amazon case with extra battery storage. It would take awhile to do four air up tires but it would get the job done. I have multiple M18 tools so I have plenty of batteries. Works great for my needs. I do not air down to low pressures.

I've been using a Viair 440P which fits in a plastic "ammo" box from Harbor Fright. My 2 hose system is just made up of Harbor Fright hose and fittings. Works well enough. But I'm going to mount a ARB clone under the seat and run a QD to both sides, then make up a double hose for each side, equating to a 4 hose system. Not sure I'll like all the hoses. I like "easy". If I can take a couple steps out of the process, I'm all for it.

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.
