i need an air pump for airing back up after a run is there any in town that are cheap ($) but not cheap (crappy) i saw one at o Reilly parts -Q Industries - Air Compressor [url]http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/QIN0/MV50/N0184.oap?ck=Search_tire+inflators+%26+air+pumps_1503372_-1&keyword=tire+inflators+%26+air+pumps[/url] my buddy swears by it. but my buddys a lil po dunk too soooo... any help? i just need to air up, so im not looking to spend that much on a 100% duty

FYI: most of those little compressors you get at auto parts stores will not handle off-road tires. You will be trying to air up for 2 hours, if it doesnt burn out first.

Link didn't work.... but they have a pump they used to sell at Costco and I think Pepboys still sells it. Decent pump for about 60 bucks. But as Desert Dog said, they ain't the best.... although mine takes about 10 minutes a tire to go from 15 >>> 30.

I have a power tank style dealio now and it takes about two or three minutes a tire (5 >>> 20). Soon I will repurpose my A/C and think it will be even faster.

go to sports chalet, buy a scuba tank, 5 bucks to fill( 3200psi)
fills about 8 40" tires, from totally flat

The MV-50 is a decent little pump that doesn't cost a fortune. They can be had for about $50-60 or so.

Smittybuilt has a new series of pumps that don't look bad, the cheapest is around 100 bucks. Worth a try. I have one on the shelf.

Im on my 2nd harborfreight pump out of maybe 4 years. Think it was like $50. Takes maybe 7-10mins for me to air up a tire to 30psi. Lately it has been starting to overheat on the 3rd tire. The cheap pumps just arnt reliable.


I would recommend getting a tank and regulator. If you have a tank for welding, those work well too, and co2 is cheap.

I recently got my mv-50 from O' reilly not too long ago... it is a different brand and model number than from pep boys. The one from O' Reilly seems a bit better quality for some reason, though they look identical. The O' Reilly one is also 80 $ where as the one from pep boys is 60.. takes about 5 mins to fill each of my 35's with each.

I have the smittybuilt pump that Richard mentioned. I got it on sale for like 80 bucks. It airs up the 35's on my wife's JK in about 5-7 minutes each. I can't say it'll last forever, but it has a 1 year warranty I believe and it has worked well enough so far.
