@popo_patty You made it when others are recommending your videos.
Thanks! I’m humbled by the positive reviews that video has gotten. It’s my 2nd most profitable video to date. For reference, it cost me over $700 to make that video (no sponsors or donated products) and so far has generated almost $300. So I’ve only lost $400 making it!!! Feel free to leave it playing on repeat to help a bronco friend out haha.
I really want to make better quality, similar style videos going forward since this one did well. It’s just a matter of funding and time. More is in the works!

edit: actually I just traded the 4-way air system with the MF compressor for a set of leather 6G bronco seats to install in the OBS Bronco so I have officially come up! I love the compressor and 4-way but just don’t use it on my Bronco and the seats were more valuable to me. I’m still rocking a single ARB with single hose and loving it.

If you want a great inflator I would say grab the Milwaukee M18. I have one of those and it works great. On my RIG i just recently installed a single ARB in the tailgate using an American Adventure Lab mount. It works very well, and I have the pressure control system which I can control with my phone.

Agree with the Milwaukee if you aren't going to install one permanently - its a great inflator and uses those M18 standard batteries

Even the m12 one isnt bad

i don't need an air compressor, or windshield tinting, just a tire inflator
Do you just want to inflate a low tire or do you air-down and then air up 4 tires fairly often? And why won’t your current inflator hook to your bronco?

Ford Bronco recommendations on a tire inflator IMG_1308

Single cylinder, but you can get a dual cylinder, and you can buy the one that comes in a tackle box, or mount in engine bay, or I’ve seen mounted in rear door.

I have an ARB compressor that came mounted in a tool box. You connect it to the battery terminals.

It’s 27 years old.
The perfect post, LOL!!
Simple, and straight to the point with a door slamming ending statement !!!

But I have to ask ...
How many vehicles has it been through ???

It's awesome to think that you have possibly changed vehicles every few years, yet Ol' Trusty is still going along for the ride!

... and if you're an active offroader, the sheer number of folks it may have helped air back up is probably astounding!

My 1024 Bronco has 2 cigarette lighter plugs. One inside the console and one at the back, on the right I believe. Pretty sure they all have at least one.

To be fair, there is a huge gap in usage on it - but I’ve lugged it around through various moves back and forth around the country, and it does the job without unnecessary drama unless you forget to hook the hose up before turning it on.

Apparently it won’t turn on without the hose as a safety feature.

Discovered that bit around the 25 year mark.

I use a Milwaukee M18 tire inflator. I use 2 5.0 batteries 1 will do it but it gets slow on the 3rd tire. It takes a little while longer but I'm not in a rush.

How often are you airing up and down? I'm a fan of the Milwaukee M18's or a VIAIR 400P

People seem to like @Tricky Mike inflators if he's still selling them.
I have both of these exact ones and they've worked for me for the past almost three years. The Viair 400P is my primary with the other as a secondary.
