I have the Stauns and like them. I use the VIAIR 400P - one less thing to install and tend to; take it along when you need it; tucks nicely in the footwell behind the front seat of the 2-door. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the bag that the VIAIR comes in.I have been looking around at portable air compressors and tire deflators but there is quite a bit to choose from. Does anyone have personal recommendations? I have had my eye on the JT Brooks Pro deflator set.
SameWe use the portable Smittybuilt 2781 compressor and ARB505 deflator. Both work a charm and are easily swapped from vehicle to vehicle. Buddy in a Taco used for his ride the other day and just today aired up our Benz. Super useful. Get a couple deep socket accurate pencil gauges and you should be good.
Def there are a number of good options avaliable. But sometimes depends on what the inventory is and how quick you need it. Certain items right now can be backlogged a month or more.
Curious on the Harbor Freight Compressor - how can you give us some comments on it? Definitely a plus on affordability...been using a harbour frieght compressor for years

How does it deflate? Iām too lazy to google...Ended up getting the Viair 400P. Great build and deflates tires as well. A win win! Highly recommend!
The tire gun and gauge has a bleeder valve on it. Press until desired air pressure on gauge is met.How does it deflate? Iām too lazy to google...
I bought the smittybilt but I didnāt know deflating was an option.
I just use the Staun deflators and theyāre easy.
I recently learned about the Apex stems you have to mount but they look sweet. Would probably speed up inflation, too.
