Has anyone used the Smittybuilt 2781 unit? Looks like a pretty decent portable air compressor.

I used an Air Armor M240 in my JKUR, but I have a Arb Twin now.

Yes, we have one and love it. It's not hard wired to the Jeep so we can use it between vehicles. I have zero complaints with it.

Nice, thanks for your input guys.

I think you should be fine with whatever you decide to get. Something is better than nothing. Don't forget a tire plug kit, and some emergency valve stems to round out your tire kit.

No problem, I forgot to mention the the Colby Valves are available on Amazon as well to simplify things a tiny bit.

I had a cheap ( 80$) compressor for a while. Spending 35 minutes airing up your tires after a long trail run is a real drag. At minimum get the arb hd. Buy it once.

Agreed, buy once cry once!

After much research I ended up pulling the trigger on the Viair 400p for $160.00. It sounds like a fantastic portable compressor. I'll let y'all know my thoughts on this compressor after I use it this weekend to reinflate after the Cal 4wheel Winter Fun Fest.
