Compressors?
I keep forgetting to air down offroad and subsequently bounce myself silly. It's time I found myself a decent compressor. What compressor have people been using to pump up those tires?
I'm not a hard core crawler so the compressor probably won't receive real hard use.

I really like this:

However, since I am running P-metric tires on the 4R, I am not airing down.

If you're airing down to 15 from 35 x 4 tires, you'll Need at the Very least this:
https://www.amazon.com/VIAIR-30033-3...e%2C214&sr=1-2
Not even at this price point do you get 100% duty cycle (33% on 300 P) so you'll need to keep an eye so to speak on the temps. Mind has not overheated when airing up 4 tires (265/75/16) from 15-35 yet still takes some patience cooling off a bit between the 3-4th tire. Takes 4 mins per tire from 15-35.
This one is 100% duty cycle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000X9EGFS/ref=emc_b_5_t
Luck and enjoy the runner.

I have the smittybuilt one, the one with more capacity. I think it was $165. Works amazing though. Inflates my tires super quick.
Last summer I blew up 14 inter-tubes for a river float without a break in between them and it was fine the entire time. Highly recommend

There is also the Hong Kong Freight model that looks a lot like the Viair 400P and is probably made in the same factory at $62 and you can get the 25% off coupon that will bring it down below $50

It has worked well for me and it is cheap. It has been years so I do not remember details, but it had better characteristics than the competition in that price range when I bought it. Some are really weak units.
