Thor's Lightning Bolt True Dual Air Compressor - The Best 4x4 Air Compressor I've Ever Seen

[@casondave]

Well .... at one point you were a channel that made pretty damm funny ham radio based videos!! Now it seem like yer just another for-sale KZbin shiller, who would flog a dog turd if they paid you enough ....... way to loose a subscriber! What in the makes you think we wanna watch a 10 minute fucking commercial !?!?! ....... Jesus !!!

[@wildweasel6898]

His funny ham radio videos were commercials dude. You just liked them because you have a Jesus shaped hole in your heart and listen buddy no amount of sad ham puns is going to fill that hole. Notarubecon is just a Zenu worshipping heathen. He can't make you feel again. Do you understand?

[@troy3456789]

No matter what videos you put out I’m entertained, and that’s the only thing that matters. Keep up the good work.

[@kirkrussell8006]

I am glad you are back to 4X4 videos (if only one). It was those videos that got me into Notarubicon Productions, then to GMRS videos, then GMRS user (even if I have been in FRS for 30 years)

[@overwatchdesigns8969]

I don’t care what you talk about as long as you keep talking. Best dry humor channel on the interwebs.

[@markduenisch]

All I can say is, I have been a subscriber to your channel for a long time now, but I never knew you did off-road videos too! Much to my surprise I love your off-road content as much as I do your radio videos! I have to say that this video had me in stiches 😂😂😂!!! You have a dry sense of humor that fricken hits my funny bone so fricken hard that I have to watch your postings twice just to make sure I catch all the pertinent info you are actually sharing that actually has value to your subscribers like me! The whole reason why I subscribed to your channel in the first place was because I found your channel most informed able when I was trying to educate myself in the radio realm of knowledge. At least now I understand why your channel has the Rubicon name associated with it. I'm 63 yrs old and I don't get much abundance of humor in my life especially these days but I wanted to thank you for being a great addition to the smiles and laughter I'm able to experience in my life especially during these shitty times we're going through lately. In my heart you absolutely rock and I'm proud to be a subscriber to your channel. The bonus for me is the fact that I'm a Jeep Wrangler owner and have been into off-roading for many years now and now that I know you have these previous videos based on 4wheeling I can now start to search out your older material for insite and hopefully more of the same awesome tongue and cheek and dry humor that keeps me coming back to your channel. I'm not sure how I can pull it off in the future but I hope I can get the opportunity to meet you in person in person in the future some day, as I now have placed you on my bucket list of things I want to accomplish in my life time. YOU ROCK RUBICON!!!

[@inchy_squeezums]

I actually just got the Total Control version of this compressor a few weeks ago, along with the 4 tire kit. I have it permanently mounted under the hood of my 4Runner, and hard wired. Aired down all of my 33" tires to 14 psi, then up to 34 psi in just under 6 minutes!

[@johnb9045]

Thanks for the info! Was thinking if it would handle a 4 tire setup!

[@jhartmac100]

Id like to do that with my tundra but not sure if I have the room, might have to mount in the cargo area........too bad you can't post pics here

[@groberts1980]

I use a CO2 tank as a primary way to air up but I do keep a cheap Viair as a backup. I may pick this up as my new backup. As a side note I did meet my wife airing her tires up after an off-road adventure with friends. So scoff all you want at "impressing the ladies" but it is a thing.

[@mr.stainless]

i so wanted to be the 1st to point that out. but due to me not being allowed on the net that much i am not 1st. How funny

[@tlw8886]

I always appreciated your off-road videos.. Not sure what folks were complaing about. Was happy to see a new video about something other than HAM/GMRS.. Although those vids are informative, it was getting a tad long in the tooth with so many.. Glad you did this review.. I've had a 15 lb Power Tank for 10 years now and I've never run out of gas over the years.. I've had to hydro the tank twice now and that isn't any great imposition nor cost in the grand scheme of things. The tire fills are so bloody fast with the thing that I frequently help out others in a group setting just to get the hell back on the road before dying of the creeping paralysis! I keep a Viair 400 on the rig as a backup. Thanks for the video.. It was nice to see something other than radio vids. Take care.

[@brianb6603]

[@johnnybodangus2529]

Will have to give this a try when my current compressor craps out, thanks for the recommendation 👍

[@garryharris9098]

I was a volunteer fireman 30 years, and years ago, we were getting rid of some old aluminum air tanks. I got 2 and had them tested and would get them filled at a neighbor department to 4500 psi and regulater with a hose. It will fill several 33" tires.

[@TheNotaRubicon]

Compressed air is decent for smaller tires, but you can squeeze in wayy more CO2 into a tank which is why it's the gas of choice for manly off-roaders like me.

[@NotGonnaSayFO]

Last year I binge watched all those offroad videos, and I am not an offroader. I enjoyed them!

[@Brigantine2008]

[@fitzventure]

Nice to see some off-road content again. I've been watching since long before the GMRS days and your videos were great. Not sure why they didn't get as much traction as they deserved. I also have that compressor although I have the Napa version. It's awesome.

[@TheNotaRubicon]

For about 1 year our In4LO videos were exclusive to Amazon Prime Video and we got MILLIONS of views there every month.. Our contract eventually changed and we were permitted to put the videos on KZbin, but nobody was interested/KZbin did not suggest them. It seems that youtube viewers aren't interested in quality or anything that requires an attention span..

[@denniskwasnycia1950]

Very nice! I have just the single cylinder ARB on my truck, mounted under the hood. I have 35's, but don't air down much at all. Mostly just for airing up and filling air bags for when I have my slide in truck camper on the back. If I used it more, this would definitely be on my list to get. Not a bad price as well. Thanks for showing this compressor off.

I went from a Milwaukee M18 inflator to an ARB twin mounted under the right front seat on my 16 JKU rubicon hard rock. I considered the Thor/other same ones but takes up too much space. So happy with my ARB twin and Morrflate 4 tire inflation kit.

[@OneFearOffroad]

I was looking between Morrflate, EZ Flate, and this Thor system. I appreciate the video on this system.

[@project_poor_runner]

I’ve been telling folks for years the Napa MaxiTrac twin is the best under $125. It’s the same one other companies modify, paint and resell.

[@chrismadden1660]

Sadly trying to find them is almost impossible and when you do it is double the original price. I keep checking my local NAPAs to get one, and it now looks like it has been branded as NAPA Horizontal Electric Air Compressor- Balkamp BK MTWM10215C.

[@dennislee505]

@@chrismadden1660 Just checked my NAPA $155.00 Available for pickup tomorrow.

[@rogueyota]

Thanks for another great installment. I have run a 400P for a few years. Very satisfied with its performance, but my 4Runner's modest 34s require less squirt to air up. I saved the Thor's Lightning in my Amazon list to replace the Viair when it gives up the ghost. Can't wait for the mass of fans to gather when they celebrate compressor's two-piston performance.

[@WorldMoneyWins]

I wonder if this would fit under the hood on the driver's side of a Jeep TJ. Looks pretty sweet!

[@cadesmith4278]

Learned something new today--as a motorcyclist (some off- but mostly on-road riding) and no '4-lo' experience, I learned why the manly tires on these manly vehicles have treads on the sidewall.

[@peternorthrup6274]

At the end of the day at the off rd parks I go to I would watch most people struggle trying to fill up there tires with those small compressors. I bought several over the years. I went and bought a 2000 watt inverter and a 5 gallon AC air compressor. Simple installation. Now I spend just minutes filling my tires. Have fun.

[@pleinairbarnettoutdoors]

Unexpected yet appreciated presentation.

[@mre9593]

I had a car with a slow leak (i'm no expert but I think it was a bad seal) so I got a tiny compressor. I got a different car that has even smaller tires (I swear they are practically motorcycle tires on a car) I don't have as much trouble with this one. (it has the annoying tire senors) I also have a rechargeable jump starter that I live by it get pretty cold here in the Midwest (-40 degrees). I bring the jumper on trips. I like all the things Randy talks about, If I find a handy tool you bet I'll tell everyone!

[@jtonneson]

There are several companies that sell the same style. I assume it's actually the same compressor. EZFLATE, MORRFlate, THOR ... But these are amazing for the price. I've used my EZFLATE for a couple of years. No issues. 4 tire inflate system. Air a set of 37s up and down in minutes.

[@magarj]

Looks like the one NAPA carries. Total beast of a 12v compressor.

[@IronAndDiesel]

I bought one for off road use. Good reviews. Good air volume. Reasonable price. Looking forward to using it this season!

[@W2IRT]

Good luck actually finding one at NAPA, although maybe it's easier now.

[@magarj]

@@W2IRT I had to look online to see what stores had it in stock.

[@W2IRT]

Great video. I've been on the fence about the NAPA version of this (made of pure unobtanium), vs an ARB Dual+Kraken system (and provision for an air locker later on). I'm using the VIAIR 300-series at the moment (it's glacially slow), but I'd prefer a mounted onboard solution rather than a portable. I'm surprised to hear you had problems with your ARB dual. Anyhow, please more Jeeping videos (or bouncing 'Yotas with busted U-joints). That was gold right there mate.

[@richardcorwin1828]

Thank you!!

[@philipstaite4775]

What is the max PSI of the compressor? I’m wondering if you could use the C02 tank as a reservoir for the compressor. That is, instead of refilling it to some relatively high pressure with CO2, instead pre-fill it before your adventure from your compressor up to whatever maximum it can achieve. Then when it is time to air up your tires have the compressor feeding into the tank, and an output from the tank for the tires. That way you should be able to air up your tires somewhat faster than with just the compressor alone, and avoid the cost of refilling with CO2. Is asking about PSI and CFM the equivalent of asking about fars of GMRS radios? FYI - “duty cycle” refers to how long it can be running over some time period. A 100% duty cycle would mean it could run continuously. A 50% duty cycle means it should be off and allowed to cool down a length of time equal to how long it was running. The time period for the duty cycle should be in the manual somewhere. At a 50% duty cycle obviously they don’t want you to run it for 10 seconds then shut it off for 10 seconds. As you have seen, several minutes of continuous running is fine - enough to do all 4 tires. However long that takes, I’d let is cool down an equal amount of time before airing up your buddy’s tires. Fun stuff, and I’ve got one final thought for you guys - lockers! ;-)

The name isn’t just awful, it’s interchangeable. The compressor is being marketed under several different names. Tireflate isn’t as offensive, but the compressor is just as good. Love mine. Hell we even financed our compressor the same way.

[@project_poor_runner]

Combine it with MoRRflate’s Quad inflation hose kit and you can air up all 4 285’s in about a minute and a half.

That CFM is awesome, however these only offer 50% duty cycle. Shouldn't be an issue with high CFM, but still good to know.

[@AZREDFERN]

I’ve got a question, but I’ll see is Not-Ai-Rubicon can answer it first: Is the “Thor’s Lightning Bolt True Dual Air Compressor” CHiRP compatible? I’m trying to add all of my local repeaters, and I’m not sure what software I need to program it. - - - Ladies and gentlemen, let me break it to you straight. The "Thor’s Lightning Bolt True Dual Air Compressor" - now, that's a mouthful - is about as compatible with CHIRP as a fish with a bicycle. CHIRP is for programming radios, not air compressors. I mean, I'm not sure what you're trying to do there - maybe turn your air compressor into a GMRS repeater? That would be a sight to see, but it's as likely as the FCCs giving me a free pass on my shenanigans. For programming your local repeaters into a radio, you'll need to use CHIRP or the manufacturer's software for that specific radio model. Make sure it's a radio, not an air compressor, unless you're trying to start a new trend in the radio world. So what I am really saying is, you might want to double-check what device you're dealing with before diving into the wild world of programming. And if you're really trying to program an air compressor... well, I'll be the first to subscribe to your KZbin channel to see how that turns out. ..... 𝗔𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸... ⬇️ 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘄....

[@Dirtydeviantjbyrd]

Do you enjoy those Cooper STTs?

[@N2YTA]

Why not just get an AC powered air compressor for home that you can use to pressurize a portable air tank? Would a five-gallon tank at 100psi be enough to fill four tires? Also, what about using nitrogen instead of C02? I believe nitrogen is cheaper.

[@TheNotaRubicon]

Nitrogen is more expensive and does not behave the same way under pressure as Co2, nor does anyone market a safe, portable tank system for nitrogen for refilling tires making Co2 better for this application. ..and a 5-gallon tank of air would not be nearly enough for all 4 tires nor would it fit very well in most vehicles. It is just more practical to carry a small portable compressor or a compressed C02 tank.

[@johnb9045]

Not hitting the stuff you hit, just an "overlander" with a sweet Dobinsons suspension on my 4runner that I like to put to the test any time I can. Currently running a Milwaukee battery compressor with the tank, not too shabby since it's lightweight and pretty quick, but it was way more $ than this.
