    I have an onboard compressor for both my ARB lockers and airing up. But I just ordered a CO2 tank for $85 and regulator for $46, all postpaid. With a 10 lb. CO2 tank, I should allegedly get 30 tires of refill for $7.50, and about a minute/tire. Right now I take about 3:30 or a bit more per tire with my onboard compressor. That's a lot of constant running that bothers me a bit, though it's worked for a long time. Just another option.

    I have a HF air compressor mounted under the hood of my 4R. It does the job, but will only fill about 6 stock size 4r tires before it over heats and stops. From 15 to 35 psi on each tire. It will continue after it cools down, but its not usually too cool under the hood and it can take some time.

    This is if its not 80f out, on the March Rainbow Falls run last year it got 6 done before overheating but I think the high topped out around 50F that day. I did Mosquito pass last year and when I aired up in Leadville I could only fill 2 before it over heated. (mid 70s that day i believe.)

    " it's not really for airing up after a run, it's for fixing flats. I've used it a few times without issue, and we had the same one in her old Subaru too."

    Based on my experience, Paul makes a valid point..this pump isn't made to run continuously for 20 min, seeing several alternates mentioned in this thread worth checking out.
