Air Compressor

Looking for a make and model of an air compressor, if there is one, that I could keep with my F-250 Crew Cab that would pump all my tires up from 30psi to 65/70psi. I do a lot of fishing on the beach where my pressure needs to be 30. I air down before I drive on the beach and obviously can't drive home with 30 in them, the local gas stations aren't cutting it. Thanks!

You can get the portable ones, but it would take you forever to air them up. I think you can get onboard ones that would probably do a better job; don't have any experience with them tho.

Maybe check out something like a Jerp forum; they'd probably have alot of experience from offroading in the desert or beaches.

Jeep, or an RV forum. some travel trailers require 110 psi... on 18 inch wheels...

This is overkill but that's the one I'm installing. I'm using my truck as a rolling garage for my off road truck isin the future. It will fill 37s from flat and run air tools. A decent potable compressor will definately fill your needs. Get a quality unit and it won't let you down

If money is no object then go with Oasis. Its what I really want but get get myself to spend the money. I have a 3/4 hp compressor that does ok but it's not a Oasis.

A CO2 tank will air your tires up faster than almost any air compressor and doesn't require any wiring, etc. The only drawback is that you have to refill it once in a while, but not as often (or as expensive) as you might think.
