I do a lot of sand camping and I have to deflate my truck and toy hauler tires to get out in the sand. I bring an air compressor that does a decent job of filling all my tires. It is a rigid 5 gallon, 4 cfm, 145psi from home depot. I'm worried about it giving up the ghost because of its age and amount of abuse it's handled. I'm looking for a potential replacement. This particular compressor is no longer available. I want an oil lubricated 4+ cfm@90psi 10-20 gallon portable compressor. Obviously the higher the cfm the better. I appreciate your help and ideas. Thanks, Loren

Loren give Portland compressor or C&H a call in town they'll set you up right. Then look at the JJ&A fill manifold for a few ideas.

I'm not really looking for a salesman. I know that I can go down to C&H or any other like store to get their advice. I was asking to get other sand camping enthusiasts thoughts and opinions. Thanks though Jared.

I've thought about doing on board air on mine
-
Would it be feasable to add an on board compressor to your pickup using an old ac compressor & auxiliary tank?

I would actually prefer onboard air, but I'm not sure what kind of performance I would get out of it
-
I have no personal experience with it but a guy we used to wheel with had onboard air on his fj40 & it seemed to work pretty good. It didn't fill the tires in seconds or anything like that but he always had air when he needed it. Just did a search & found this: http://www.duramaxdiesels.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20842

There's these systems for on board air

Nice thing about this system is the truck don't need to be running like it would with a converted ac compressor.

I looked at this the other day. It's only .97 cfm @90psi. I'm not a scientist so I don't know what cfm is ideal for filling tires quickly. Keep in mind that I have to fill 10 tires lol
-
i used this on the duck boats to worked great. read the 1st review at the bottom of the page. https://www.walmart.com/ip/35187872

Loren stop by in have a small compressor that was strong enough to run an impact you can try been a few years since I tried it.

This is what I'm using now. It will fill my tires from 15 psi to 75-80 psi @4 minutes per tire. Ten tires takes 40 minutes. If I can't do any better without bringing my 60 gallon Quincy then oh well. Thanks for the input guys

I'm going to try to build one of those systems Jared. I figure I can build one for about half. Thanks again guys
-
why not build a manifold with a line to the trailer with 3 connections with locking air chucks inflate 3 tires at 1x an on same manifold have a line going to truck to do the front an rear tire set regulator where ya want an sit back an chill till inflated an then do the same on the other side
-
http://www.brunowessel.com/content/tethpig.asp we have this at work its nice to hook up one side of the truck an inflate all the tires at same time while ya do something else

I found a York 210 compressor for the right price lol. Now to assemble the rest of the parts
-
I use a lot of portable compressors in my business. RolAir is my current brand of choice. I'm not a fan of homeboy depot stuff. If your generator has 220 this is a good choice.

That's a serious compressor! I don't think my Onan generator has 220v. I'm leaning towards the York onboard air system. Thanks for the input tbone

York's were oe ac pumps on 80s Volvo's and a few other vehicles. Can be had cheap from a wrecking yard if you can find them. And they pump like a mofo.
If I were to throw electric comps on it would be viair their customer service is great. Not the fastest pumps but always willing to work with you to fix them when an issue arises.
I have a bagged s10 waiting for me to stop being lazy and throw the York on there but currently run 2 viair 480c compressors and it takes about 5-7min to fill 10 gallon tank from 0 to 175psi
-
I secured a York from a buddy that has a few. I'm moving forward with the air system as soon as possible
