JACO 4X4 TrailPro Heavy Duty Portable Air Compressor - 3.5 CFM (12V/33A) | On x Off Road Tire Inflator Kit

The TrailPro 12V Air Compressor by JACO has been a fantastic addition to my off-road adventures. It's a compact and efficient tool that does its job exceptionally well.One of the standout features is its speed. With a powerful 12-volt motor delivering 3.5 CFM of air flow, it makes inflating tires a quick and hassle-free task, which means more time on the trail and less time dealing with equipment.The design is simple but effective. Its compact and rugged build is perfect for outdoor use, making it easy to transport and store in my vehicle, whether I'm off-roading, camping, or overlanding.Safety is a priority with the TrailPro. It comes with thermal overload protection, which automatically shuts off the compressor if the internal temperature gets too high, preventing overheating. The addition of heat-resistant cast alloy cooling fins and a rubber heat guard on the quick-connect plug adds to its durability.The included accessories are a nice touch. The 25 ft. coiled air hose with an inline gauge and automatic deflator makes tire inflation straightforward. The Lightning L2-Series locking tire chuck ensures a secure connection, and the accessory nozzle adapter kit is handy for inflating various items, from sports balls to airbeds.The heavy-duty storage bag and cleanable air filter add convenience to the package, keeping everything organized and ensuring the compressor continues to operate at its best.In summary, the TrailPro 12V Air Compressor is a reliable and practical tool for off-road enthusiasts.

I'm very satisfied with my purchase, and it has become an essential part of my off-road journeys.

This is my first quality mobile tire inflator, and I'm pleased. It compares and performs comparably to a Viair 300P; I have a buddy with one of those. I timed inflating my 265/75-16 tires from 15 to 30 psi and it matched the published 300P performance almost exactly. I saved a little dough with this model. Seems high quality, and I just LOVE the air chuck...it really is the best I've used.As is common with this type, you have to shut the compressor off to read the pressure in the tire, which is inconvenient unless the unit is next to you. It might be better if the gage was on the compressor end of the hose. If the electrical cable was a little longer you could easily have the compressor near you in most situations; I might make that mod, using wire that is one gage heavier than the 10' cable supplied since it draws a lot of current. Also, you can't install a pressure regulator on the end that will only allow, say, 35 psi into the tires; the compressor doesn't have a pressure switch, so in that case, once the tire is at 35 and the regulator shuts down it would spike the pressure until something bursts. This was confirmed with Jaco and is typical of this class.The only thing I don't like compared to the Viair is the cooling fin arrangement on the cylinder head. At first glance it looks identical to the Viair, but that's just a plastic cover compared to the actual fins on the Viair. Under that cover is an air gap and smaller fins. The smaller fins can't cool as fast, and despite the air gap I would think the plastic cover must trap heat. That said, in my test I did all four tires in rapid succession and had no problems, but it was not hot outside at the time. On the flip side, the plastic cover does offer burn protection when the head is good and hot.I'm pleased overall. For me it's mainly for emergency use since we take our 4x4 Xterra towing a Casita trailer into the back country. I might use it for trail air-down and pump back up, but don't often do that hard core of 4-wheeling.

After using this pump to air up my 37's after a trail ride three times it tore up. From what I can see the rod broke inside the pump. Metal shavings every where. Hope I can fix it as I brought it in october.
