M18 inflator.
Inflator/deflator and compressor suggesttions

I go offroading more often than not, at least twice a week, during summer its essential to air down and up as quick as possible - for deflation i use the Apex Rapid Connect Valve which deflates me to 12psi in a min or so for all four tires. Inflation still needs some work - for now i have the ARB Twin Portable compressor, i'm working on a way to build it into the vehicle permanently but need some more inspiration for exactly where. the idea is to have it inflate all 4 tires at once too.
It depends on your usage, really. I’m out most weekends in the sand and rocks, so I'm airing up and down a lot. 1-4 times a week, depending on the trip/route.
I have an ARB twin compressor and tank to go in my FJ, which I will be fitting under the hood. (Once the weather cools down)
I have the ARB portable twin compressor and tank, which I use when switching cars and driving in the desert.
My New Prado has the same inbuilt compressor as my FJ, but I probably won’t use that much for airing up; I would prefer the more powerful ARB twins as it also helps if you de-bead a tyre. (5-15psi)
I used to use screw-on deflators for deflating but found them unreliable. If they come loose, you lose your settings.
I have an ARB valve deflator: screw on to the tyre valve stem and unscrew the valve, rapidly deflating the tyre.
I was looking at the E-Z Inflate hose items but ended up just making my own 2-hose and manifold system with a Milton gauge from some leftover pipes.
It’s all up to how much you want to spend and how much time you will spend airing up and down.
