I need another one, mostly for the UTV. So far I'm less than thrilled with these pumps.

I need another one, mostly for the UTV. So far I'm less than thrilled with these pumps. I purchased one of the units that comes in a large ammo can, sourced it locally and it seems to work fine.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

I have a VIAIR as well, 88P I think. I've only used it to "top off" pressures in tires. For that it has worked well.

I have not used a VIAIR, but to date, I have never found a decent one.

Don't own one, but friends do. Better have a lot of time if one is topping off an 80 psi trailer tire.

To my experience they've sucked total ass and I thought after 20 yrs everyone knew they sucked total ass.
Now, as a disclaimer, I'm referring to anything under $40. I mean, they will/might/maybe get 30psi in your tire and let you limp along. Hell i can get that with two cans of fix a flat.

I got a VIAIR for the truck and travel trailer. Works good. Built good.

I have mini pump that plugs into the cigarette lighter. on my sxs, plus some tire plugs. It's stupid slow, but in a pinch it should work for a 26" tire. I should probably upgrade, a bed mount ammo can might b the ticket for tools and such.

I'll get that VIAIR 87, just need to run battery terminals to front of Ranger. Battery sits under seat and is awkward to access.

I have Campbell Hauslfeld 300psi that connects to the battery but I don't think it would inflate one of my 35" tires if it was flat without burning up first. It takes forever just to add a few psi to a low tire. I'm going to look for a better 12 volt compressor.

I think Ronco made a pretty good one back in the day for $29.95 with a pocket pussy and tube of lube thrown in for good measure.

I have a Viair 400 something, it will blow the tires off my F150. Pricey though.

I have a Viair 88P which has the battery clamps. Works great. Use it to air back up when off-roading.
Well, we don't rent pigs, and it's better to say it right up front because a man who does like to rent pigs is — well, he's hard to stop.

We got one of the Kobalt tool branded ones from Lowes. About 30 bucks. Claims to go to 120 psi but we'll never need anything close to that. Has a built in pressure gauge and plugs into a 12v power source. We have it just for occasional use and so far it works as claimed. I'm happy with it.

These are awesome placed AT the battery when running remote power like that. https://www.amazon.com/Bussmann-CB2...&hvtargid=pla-570396597965&psc=1Anderson connectors for the win. https://www.amazon.com/Spurtar-Battery-Connect-Disconnect-Certified/dp/B07C69HJ2B/ref=sr_1_10?crid=59OMLNOZ4ZW&keywords=anderson+connector&qid=1564443718&s=automotive&sprefix=anderson+c%2Cautomotive%2C208&sr=1-10
