Went to the trails in Tillamook State Forest (In the coastal mtn. ranges of Northern Oregon). Had a great time.....But, I tore the boots on both of my stock sway bar links. I was wheeling with them connected because I forgot my wrenches to disconnect them. So...they are trashed. Stopped by my local 4x4 shop on the way home and ordered up a set of the Rubicon Express Gen II Quick Disconnects....and ordered a 12V compressor for airing my tires back up. Borrowed a friend's just to try it out, and it was SO MUCH FASTER than the VIAIR 200P that I was thinking of getting....anyway, had some fun today, learned some stuff driving on the "black" trails, and ordered some new toys on the way home!!! Gotta love the Jeep  I'll post pics up as soon as my buddy burns them onto a CD for me. Probably later next week. |

Sounds like a good time. Some day I will head out West to check out all the great places we in the midwest only get to hear about. You mentioned a compressor that you are getting that is fast. What kind is it? I am going to order one and was looking at Viair. But if this other one is better I am interested. Thanks!

It's rated at 2.54 CFM, compared to the VIAIR 200P which is only rated at roughly 1 CFM. I can't remember the name brand, but there are a few guys selling them on EBAY, and 4Wheel Parts is selling them online too. I used a VIAIR200P (which costs $200) and it took over an hour to fill up 31" tires from 15 to 35psi on 2 Jeeps. This compressor did both Jeeps at a constant rate of 2 minutes per tire. We were done airing up 2 Jeeps in less than 20 minutes. I was impressed. |
