This was so extremely helpful. I just built my own 4 way air hose system and I’ve been trying to decide what pump to use that will work with my 4 way system well and this video answered that question perfectly.

@RobertsAdventure 2 года назад

I like that you included the deployment time for the morrflate as well to make it a more realistic comparison. Nice one!

@AdventureBuilt Год назад

Thank you so much!

@guylongley1573 2 года назад

I've got the same Smittybilt compressor and I really like it. Best one I've had.

@left_unsupervised_again Год назад

Great video to stumble upon after I ordered my Smittybilt air compressor!

@JonnyBgooD007 2 года назад

Man, I always felt that my smittybilt compressor took forever. I'm glad I came across this mod.

@Dusther210 2 года назад

Did this to my HFT compressor (basically identical to the Smittybilt) Great video!

@robertyoung8289 2 года назад

Very honest and informative as usual. Thank you.

@martynevans3315 2 года назад

Getting the Morrflate & a Viair 400P was the first off-road specific "mod" I did! Even before getting a lift and lights!

@troy3456789 11 месяцев назад

A more accurate timed experiment comparison has to include all the unpacking, setup, teardown and repacking the equipment as well as the time required to actually put air into the tires. It's the time you spend messing with it from beginning to end and you are back on the hard top (going from the driver's seat to back into the driver's seat with all 4 tires adjusted)

@mikeanderson6219 2 года назад

I did a similar mod and added some others. I added a pressure switch too. One thing I did too was add a 10ga SAE connector to my front bumper and converted the aligator clips so I don't have to open the hood every time.

@BirdDogOffRoadAdventures 2 года назад

The same setup I have. Made that 'adjustment' to my Smittybilt as well.

@JPJamster Год назад

Really enjoyed this video, thank you!

@DUNEATV 2 года назад

I have the same compressor…love it.

@frnkpol2903 Год назад

Excellent video, thank you.

@JT_Adventures 2 года назад

I swapped the connections on my smittybilt about 2 yrs ago , including the fill hose swapped to one from lowes. Works much better but not as good as that Morrflate setup. Now I have to consider the 4 tire setup ! I would be interested to see how the new compressor matches up with the smittybilt. .

@jasonfillmore2991 2 года назад

Go with the Napa MaxiTrac compressor that one is rated a lot higher than all the other compressors I’ve seen awesome video.

@ryanm4013 2 года назад

I have this compressor and it rocks!

@jaredbeck5002 2 года назад

I want it so bad but it’s sold out

@explore_off_road 2 года назад

I love our portable compressors as opposed to on board air. It's specifically for airing tires so I figure why use up space for all this on board stuff. Especially when some vehicles are space limited. Rather use that space for dual batteries or something. But the main reason ... I can take it in the house. So if someone takes my Jeep ... all my stuff is still mine. I just find them convenient, myself. But like you said ... easy to wander it over and help someone else out. Everyone has their own now, at our house.

@oxdudepoege Год назад

If hoses are to tight to get them over fittings, just grap an electric kettle and dip just the first 3/4 of an inch in the boiling water. Now you can attach the hose with ease.

@bradenb 2 года назад

I LOVE my MORRflate. Definitely one of my favorite purchases. Most of these compressors are way more capable than the single hoses they come with, so using a multi-tire system really makes the most of the compressor. One recommendation I have is to do yourself a HUGE favor and buy the MORRflate dust caps. When you're airing up at trailheads it's impossible to keep those chucks clean and soon they become very hard to use. They aren't too hard to clean, but you don't want to try and do it on the trail.

@mpcp27 2 года назад

Thank you for that comparison..I often wondered which was faster the 4 tire vs the single tire.. but nobody ever included the time to unravel and connect the 4 hose system within the inflation time. That is pretty impressive... Almost a 5 minute differential... That dessert armor compressor is really a beast.. Twice the CFM compared to the Smitty 2781. Summit racing has a similar one for about $180 and Napa has one for about $114.. Unfortunately they seem to be sold out. The advantage of the desert armor one is it has the pressure switch already built in..

@oversizedoverlanding2365 Год назад

agreed...I have the smitty 2781 and if I could do it again I think I may have gotten the napa one for double the cfm. wonder if the smittybilt would outlive the napa one though

@salcigar 2 года назад

I think you did a great job with this mod. I didn't read all the comments and maybe some else already suggested this. A check valve on your leader hose will extend the life of your compressor in two ways. The compressor won't have the back pressure from the tires pushing back on it making it work less hard each time you stop to check your tire PSI. Second it is possible for air to leak back through the compressor deflating the system while you pause to check tire pressure. Because you don't have a pressure switch DO NOT turn on the compressor until everything is connected, the air has no place to go and you risk damaging the compressor.

@AdventureBuilt 2 года назад

Great info. Thank you. I’ll definitely look into adding a check valve. Much appreciated!!!

@Treetopflyer777 4 месяца назад

Are the check valve and pressure switch the same thing?

@bradbelisle8465 2 года назад

Yes I would like to see it

@stevemarlatt 10 месяцев назад

The similar-looking Vevor is now priced at $76.99 on their website vs. $203.99 for the Smittybuilt, making the Smittybuilt 2.6 times more expensive. I have been using the Vevor compressor for several months and it has been working great. Would be nice to see you do a side-by-side comparison. I followed your lead and made the same modifications to connect it to my four-tire inflator and deflator system. Definitely the way to go.

@AdventureBuilt 10 месяцев назад

I’ll take a look at it.

@ORG4Runna 2 года назад

Now all you need is a pressure switch installed on the smittybilt! Love mine with it.

@Treetopflyer777 4 месяца назад

What’s the purpose of that? And how is it installed?

@c90adventures 11 месяцев назад

I'm pretty sure that's not a proprietary connector, it's just a Euro one. You can get adapters to convert it.

@chrisscoleri2341 2 года назад

A good idea would be to use the universal female fitting so you can use either an automotive or a I/M fitting if you ever need to use any endpiece other than your own or you are airing up a tank or whatever for someone else. I have the same compressor marketed by HF and it works great. Are there better ones? Sure but at multiple times the cost. I like thet I can take this compressor for the trail, but leave it at home during the week.

@utilityart 2 года назад

I modded my Viair to inflate two tires and once by adding a T in the hose and swapping to clamp on valve fittings. It didn't cut my time in half but it only cost about $20. When the Viair finally dies I will go with the Smittybilt compressor.

@eprohoda 2 года назад

Good morning,this is splendi d!see ya!!man. :)

@jonday720 2 года назад

I've added a pressure cut off switch on mine. Easy mod. Look into it.

@SigmaWolfOutdoors 2 года назад

Yes please do a comparison

@fiffer26 2 года назад

At trick we use when we need to lube something like a fitting but want it to be more permanent is using hairspray. Works great as a lube for a few minutes and once it dries it is a much more solid connection.

@reyflores4606 2 года назад

A comparison to both the ARB's would be nice too.

@bgregg55 Год назад

Heads Up: Keep those head bolts tightened down. They work loose & the lubrication oil leaks out of the cylinder.

@richardconley5965 Год назад

At 6:10 your hose coupler shown will probably damage a few compressors if people follow that advice. As I recall, the Smittybilt instructions warn against running the compressor without relieving the pressure. The female coupler shown at 6:10 will work on an air accumulator tank where the compressor shuts off when it reaches a certain amount of pressure. Turning the compressor on as shown at 6:10 will result in the compressor immediately achieve maximum pressure and the pressure release valve will repeatedly pop.

@CantonBn 5 месяцев назад

Exactly correct. I like Adventure Build's videos in general. But the type of compressor the smitty and its clones are will be damaged by this direct unrelieved connection can easily destroy this type of compressor

@Treetopflyer777 4 месяца назад

What’s the solution?

@tiny_the_200 2 года назад

One way to help you know when your CO2 tank may be getting close to empty is to weigh it when it’s full, when it’s empty and even after your avg re-inflation of your tires. This way you know about how much you have and how much you likely need before your next trip. I also have a cheap compressor I take on the trips when I’m near the end of my tank.

@White_buffalo_4r 2 года назад

I've heard the NAPA one is a pretty good one. Curious about it compared

@53thumper 2 года назад

Did you use the 125" wheelbase kit? The specs for the Taco DCSB are 127" wheelbase, it looked like you had plenty of length on the kit you used. Thanks

@coyote4wd 2 года назад

Do you have quick disconnects for valve stems as well??

@robertwehlau8906 2 года назад

Napa maxi trac has a double air compressor for 100 bucks. Super fast

@Socaloverlander Год назад

What was the recoil air hose on your list used for ?

@rodneyhanbaum697 2 года назад

New Sub today, 2/26/22 thank you, ordered the 7281 2 days ago.

@AdventureBuilt 2 года назад

Awesome. Thx. Hope you dig it.

@pradogx1 2 года назад

So if I got with the smittybuilt 2781 and the morrflate option...The morrflate kit comes with everything I need to attach it directly to the compressor? Or do I still need other fittings? Thanks!

@troy3456789 11 месяцев назад

I run 265/75 R16s on my 2017 access cab taco, and I have a fiberglass ARE camper shell. How can I know what pressure is likely the best for my Michelin Defender tires? Should I stay at 32 psi, as written inside the door?

@vanman3752 4 месяца назад

What's the rush? Are you racing or something? Looks like all that extra hose takes up a lot of space too.

@shaizahavi 2 года назад

try the Napa 300LPM AIR COMPRESSOR .

@2000productions 2 года назад

It’s fast!

@MrRjezonie 9 месяцев назад

I just got the same set up since I have my Smittybuilt I got years ago. Does your Morrflate gauge PSI readings match the TPMS on your truck? My Morrflate gauge is much lower than my Jeep JLs readings

@AdventureBuilt 9 месяцев назад

No they are different. I don’t think the TPMS is as accurate. I have used multiple gauges and non have matched the dash.

@ljoffe 2 года назад

Do you find your Smittybilt handle gets extremely hot and need a shirt to pick it up after inflating the tires? The compressor works great, but gets so damn hot! Need to get the MORRFlate! Looks great.

@JT_Adventures 2 года назад

Mine gets hot & I have to let it cool before packing it away. Especially on hot summer days!

@matthewflorez6512 9 месяцев назад

Great video!! I'm going to get this exact set up now. Question: When the system is completely connected, are you supposed to open the valve and then turn on the compressor or turn on the compressor and then open the valve? Will it create back pressure if the valve is closed? I don't believe the smittybilts have an auto shut off for pressure like other compressors do. Thanks for the help.

@AdventureBuilt 9 месяцев назад

I personally like to turn on the compressor and then quickly open the valve when starting. Then when I want to check the pressure I close the valve and turn of the compressor. It’s really easy to do since it’s all right at the front of the rig. Glad I could help.

@vincentorona163 2 года назад

Let’s see the side by side!!!

@rbljackson Месяц назад

I have a 4 hose system and now need to get a compressor. Long term, would you still say this smittybuilt is the way to go? Or are there better options now? Which would you go wtih if you were buying one today? I know they have bigger CFM compressors now, but storage space is also a premium. So for me, its a size vs speed balance.

@AdventureBuilt Месяц назад

There are definitely better options out there. I recently did a compressor review. Check out that video for sure.

@cullengarrick9036 2 года назад

Buy a twin piston compressor and a decent inflator looks like it had a nitto style fitting before there is no need to remove it

@bravowhiskey4684 11 месяцев назад

Just unthread the oem hose and replace the leader hose with a chuck… no need to chop it and cobble it together.

@albertozarate9870 Год назад

Would it work if I modified the Milwaukee inflator like that ? I have the big one. Does it have enough power ?

@AdventureBuilt Год назад

I’m sure it would work. I used the Morrflate on my big compressor and worked great.

@danielfransen6301 Год назад

MORRflate Sells a Smittybilt adaptor.

@scottsorensen8490 2 года назад

How are you running power to your compressor? A little detail on that set up would be sweet. Thanks

@ljoffe 2 года назад

battery clamps he showed for the connection

@wzupmane Год назад

Did the inflation hose and splitter get pretty hot to the touch? Im making sure thus is normal. Ive only used it once.

@AdventureBuilt Год назад

Yea mine have always gotten gotten. I always wear gloves when airing up.

@Ctrlwrp 2 года назад

Hey nice video man I just wanted to verify does the smittybuilt compressor work really good with the 4 way inflate is it worth it if I dont want to buy the arb one? Are those 8 minutes how long it took to air up with that compressor or just to set up?

@AdventureBuilt 2 года назад

The smittybilt compresor does just as good a job as an arb compressor and the 8 minutes time is just what you see in the video. It doesn’t include pulling everything out from storage. Just the time it takes to open the Morrflate, make all the connections and turn the compressor on and air up to 40psi.

@Espinal_424 Год назад

Can you change the connection from battery clamps to an outlet plug to plug into an inverter?

@AdventureBuilt Год назад

You definitely can but you will have to cut the cable and splice in your preferred connection point.

@octaviolozano6890 2 года назад

Did you make or purchase that flexzilla 4 way air hose?

@AdventureBuilt 2 года назад

I purchased the Morrflate 4 way and it rocks.

@ausguy4385 Год назад

😂 your cutting off nitto fittings standed use in Australia.... then in Australia we cut of what ARB use (what your adding) as only ARB use then here and charge the earth. 😂

@KTMcaptain 2 года назад

I went co2 and haven’t looked back. People love it. Just the quietness of it makes it worth it, but it’s also insanely quick. I never realized how fatiguing the noise was until it was gone. . People love to brag about their maxitrac compressor. It’s nowhere near as fast. Just did a Baja trip where I deployed my tank after a maxitrac just started filling a tire, I filled all of mine from 20 to 35psig, put it all back, and he just started on his 3rd tire. . Not much will compete with a 500-700 psig tank regulated down to 200psig. I have the larger HF unit under my seat in case I ran out of co2. . We were at a camp site one night and I was topping every rig off because their compressors were too loud to run and we left early.

@raymondclark1785 11 дней назад

As a diver I have the tanks, the 1st stage regulator takes it down to 150psi I have the BC inflator to air chuck adapter So if I'm on a dive trip that gear is already in the LR4, if not I have and Ironman compressor
