Portable Inflator - anyone w/ 1st hand experience w/ Thor’s Lightning?

[Drachenfels]

Looking at this: https://thorslightningairsystems.co...thors-lightning-bolt-true-dual-air-compressor

It appears to have good output, good power connectors, and a 50% duty rate - and as I look at other options that aren’t Chinesium, this seems to be a good one. Thinking a compressor that I don’t drag along every day makes the most sense for my use requirements, but open to suggestions.

Thanks in advance!

I have the next model up of that compressor from Thor's and did the removable mount install.
There are a number of other companies use that same compressor including Napa and MoRRflate and they seem to be fairly reliable.

I have the same setup. I've used it a lot and no issues. Love it.

I use an ARB twin mounted under the passenger seat, with quick chucks ran to the edge of each front seat. It's enough to go from 10psi to 20+, so you can leave the trail and head back to civilization. Plus you really don't see anything related to the OBA when you're inside the Jeep.

Beyond that, I carry a Milwaukee M18 portable compressor and have never been let down by it. It takes your normal M18 batteries, so super convenient if you already have some. https://www.milwaukeetool.com/products/details/m18-18v-cordless-tire-inflator/2848-20

I just recently purchased the Milwaukee M18 and totally impressed. Very fast and portable!

I have their TotalControl compressor mounted in my Jeep along with their 4 tire system and couldn't be happier, works great. Had a few issues initially, I believe user induced, and their customer service was awesome.

Don't laugh...
I got like 8 of these and probably 30 or so Ryobi batteries... but I did the 4 tires at a time with their own inflators. It worked like a champ. I had my kids run around and put them on.

They come on sale around $20. I have one thrown in all my vehicles. and multiple in others.

I like that rear cargo mat. Do you know who makes the one you have in the pictures?

Also my exact setup. I use an ARB twin compressor mounted in an American Adventure Labs Tailgate housing. I always carry Milwaukee impact drivers and otehr stuff so I have their inflator - which works perfect. As a backup.
