Going overboard on carry-along tire inflator

I have a 2024 Limited with 3500 miles that we use for traveling around the SW US. I am 75 and my hardcore off-road days are behind me. When I got the T4R last December, I took my

$77 Viair 88P - 00088 Tire Inflator Portable On/Offroad Air Compressor for Car, Truck, SUV & RV | 12V Heavy Duty Pump 120 PSI, Alligator Clip, Twist Chuck

Viair 88P out of my C6 Corvette before selling it (C6 Corvettes do not carry a spare tire which is why I had it). I am an old ex-exploration geologist guy who has had 50+ years 4x4 experience in Colorado and throughout the western US and overseas driving and building 4x4s and going out on the mountain and desert trails and appreciate having a way to adjust and repair tire air pressure issues. Though the Limited won't be doing that duty, I wanted to upgrade my tire inflation kit.

Like on my C6, I installed a 10AWG SAE pigtail on my Limited battery to attach my battery charger or maintainer in addition to a Viair air source, as needed.

I just got a new Viair 400P EF for the new truck. I can attach the 400P EF with the pigtail or, using SAE battery clips on battery terminals for other vehicles, using 6' or 20' 10AWG extensions I have, if needed. I also upgraded my unused Slime tire repair kit with a Boulder Tools tire repair kit, as well as a new Jaco tire pressure guage.

I will be gifting the 88P and accessories to a good buddy who drives from here in Arizona to Montana every year for fishing expeditions.

I now feel confident that the new Viair 400P EF and accessories will serve me well for our vehicles on our long adventure travels.

 

OK, it worked this time!

 

That’s a pretty beefy Viair upgrade! The

Viair 88P I use for airing down/up for off-roading has worked well for me. But the 400P EF will work even better and faster.
I got the chance to use my Safety Seal tire repair kit recently (similar to yours). It takes some strength to push a plug into the tire so the big grip handles are welcome. It also required removing the tire to get the access and leverage to do it.

 

Just added the ARB Speedy Seal kit to my truck recently after reading about it here. Appreciate the info on the forum for sure.
