Compressor or Jumpre/Compressor?

[Marlin]

Or skip the superslow limited compressor and get a small CO2 bottle. I have a mid size 20lb bottle. I can fill up dozens of 33" tires, and it takes less than 30 sec/tire for me to go from 15lbs to 40lbs in each of my tires. An air compressor would take several minutes to do each one, and would far exceed the duty cycle, unless its a really nice air compressor. I did several folks at Moab in 09. With a spring style hose, I can keep the bottle in the VX, and fill up my tow rig and trailer as well! There are smaller bottles available, and CO2 is pretty cheap. I used to pay 8 dollars for a 20lb fill up. You can get a 10lb or smaller paintball style bottle, get the right adapter and voila. Volumes of "air" for much cheaper. No worries about heat. My relief has never lifted and it sits in my truck 24/7. Just a thought for you. I would also recommend the Titan exhaust jack.

That's a 25 pound bottle? It doesn't seem nearly large enough. I just got a 10 pound bottle and it is almost that big (I am (slowly) assembling parts for a CO2 system).

That's the thread where BossMan was brainstorming the same (or similar) idea.

BTW, I cut Scotts shelf out of a different piece of scrap than shown in post #42 on page 3. If anyone is interested in that piece, lemme know (it does NOT come with the donut mounting plate though).
