If anyone is in the need for a portable air compressor for airing up, I was just at Costco today (the sarcee one) and they have the Bonaire DD25 there for $39.99. Here is a link to their website

I thought it would be a pile'o'junk for $39.99, but it's actually pretty decent. It feels solid, comes with all of the hoses/hook-ups you need, comes with a bag, and it's a 12V that hooks up directly to the battery. I just tried it out and aired up my 33" duratracs from 12 psi to 40 psi and it took just under 4 min. I tried the same thing with an ARB compressor a little while ago and it took 3:30.
Sure, there are faster/better ones out there, but for 40 bucks including all of the fixin's, it's a good deal.

$39.99 is just what the doctor ordered for airing up after a run. Good find.
I'm surprised that you took that long to air up after a run with an ARB. My ARB compressor takes my 35's from 11 psi to 25 psi in about 90 seconds. ???
-
that's a good speed for sure. For mine, it seems to go from about 15 psi to 30 psi in 2:30, then the last 1:30 is going from 30-40. Not bad for 40 bucks!

Damn I need a costco membership.

if you want one, PM me and I can help you out.

Dude, you already have a compressor, and a line on a second one for a very reasonable price. Your Ghetto-fab OBA system is gonna be ghtto-fabulos!
-
Sounds great, thanks for the heads up!
-
I see it comes with a presta valve, but what is the max psi its capable of? My road bike for example needs 90psi in the tires.
-
It says it goes up to 150 and has an in line air gauge that gives real time readings. Although I haven't tried it that high, I used it on some mountain bikes this weekend and it worked great. Very quick fill.
-
I have Canadian Tire's "heavy duty" air pump for RV's. Its gauge goes to 150psi but I've never been able to get it past 40psi so I wouldn't let how far the gauge goes up impress you too much....
-
yeah, probably a good point. I've had it up to 65, but haven't had any need to go past that.
-
was there any literature that came with the pump? stating what they rate the pump at for a max pressure? I saw on that site, they had max pressures listed for the Goodyear i7000 or something but not for that one.

i have to ask...
what rig and tires are you running at 40psi? :eek:
nice find at Costco. i love Costco.

I'm running 275/70/18 duratracs on a JK and normally run 32 psi. I was just curious about the 40 for a while after reading some stuff on a JK forum for those E rated tires, but quickly decided that 32 is the magic number for me.
-
Those load E are stiff!
-
I just mounted new tires on my trailer today, load range "G", 14ply, 110 psi. I wonder how long it would take one of those pumps to fill it up? :D
-
Snagged one from the Sunridge location, looks like a handy little unit for $40.
-

Even stiffer with 40 psi! Not doing that again. When I picked them up the tire place had them filled to 60, after I asked for 30. I felt like I was driving a Flinstone mobile.

Flinstones...that is funny. Hahaha
-
seriously, it was absolutely nuts. At first I thought it was the E rated tire, but after I got home I measured and found out why they felt like rocks. After I adjusted them to 32 they are nice and plush, and they air down to 15 very nicely.
-
this is a nice unit for $40, i just picked one up. aired up my 31's from 10psi to 32psi in less than 2min, vs the canadian tire one i had which takes about 10 min per tire haha.
