I went off-roading for the first time last weekend. The trail leader suggested I air down, so I aired down to 18 p.s.i. I made the mistake of not checking to be sure there was a way to fill up again. I had my 120v compressor with me, but there was no available electricity at the trailhead. Not a big deal, since I live so close to the trail, but I would like to avoid this situation in the future.
An unrelated issue that I would like to address at the same time is the failure of my trucks original battery. Luckily, it happened in town, and was easily replaced.
I am considering purchasing a booster pack, so that I can jump-start my truck if no other vehicles are nearby, and to air up after a day off roading. I have seen booster packs with built-in air compressors. Does anyone have experience with these? Do these units have the power to raise four 265/75R16s around 20 p.s.i.? Time is not a very big issue. BTW, My truck is an automatic, so I cannot roll-start it if my battery is dead. Any input is appreciated.
