I had my first flat on the Brown Buffalo - and as usual it was at a most inopportune time and place. Not that there are any good times or places.
I am going to add a portable compressor to the LT's bag of tricks, and wondered if any of you sages have a recommendation on brand, features, etc.
I look forward to your collective wisdom.

This post was a blatant example of my site search ignorance. I found the appropriate thread immediately after posting - SORRY. :o

I picked up this one (http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=96068) because I wanted it to move from vehicle to vehicle and was not going to mount it permanently (although I may still!).
Used it when we went 4WD on pickup tires - inflated 30" tires from 15PSI to 32 PSI in about 5 minutes, and inflates the LT tires in less time. Even comes with a cool nifty carrying case...

Thanks to All......................
I had planned to just use one that I could move vehicle to vehicle, but after seeing the clean install that JA Townsend did I may mount one in permanently. :think:
Great job and props to Mr. Shealey as well. :clapping: :bowdown:

Wal-mart has a 'slightly' different Slime model for $19.95. Even includes a can of slime that you can have fun with on the fourth of July!!! And several air fittings (basketball needle, tire nozzle, etc.). Still small enough to hide where the cannister used to live.
