Guys, just wanted to let you know that I searched forums and the web hard for an inexpensive solution to inflate my larger tires on the Jeep... Being that I have 37x12.50 Xtreme MT2's, I need more air than most.

I decided with these larger 37's, I needed CFM! My 6CFM compressor at home still takes a bit to inflate these tires from trail psi to street psi and I don't like to wait!

After a bit of research I almost pulled the trigger on the Smitty 5.65 CFM model and found a thread where owners said it may be very similar to the Tuff Stuff Xtreme Compressor (5.65 CFM model, not the 1.35CFM model).

I found it at a place called Truck and Winch : Tuff Stuff Xtreme 150PSI Portable Off Road Compressor | TruckandWinch.com

They had it on EBay as well for $99 shipped. These guys were awesome to deal with and they shipped this right out and it looks great!

I've only used it a few times so far so I can't yet comment on durability but it is fast and it draws power so be sure to have your Jeep running when using it.

For Reference, I am at 3000 ft / elevation and filled my tire from 16 psi to 37 psi in 3 min, 10 sec. Which is fast if you've never aired up 37's!

So just wanted to share some real world numbers with everyone. If you've got big tires and don't want to spend a ton, it may be the ticket.

Oh as additional reference...

My buddy had a set of stock tires with an MV50, which he loves for the price (~$60 shipped on Amazon) and said he aired up from 16 psi to 37 psi in 2 min 10 sec at the same elevation but these are stock tires and obviously don't need anywhere near as much air.

my viair 400P inflates my 35's from 15psi to 28psi in a couple minutes a piece and I have pumped up 12 tires back to back with no issues.
