[TR] best 12V price/quality tire inflators or other tire inflators for use off-site

[Don Hiscock]

Backcountry in a FJ -- great fun, eh, Rye?  I was hoping to do the same in
my Tacoma, but might not make it before the snow falls in the southwest
high country.

BTW -- the Ironman 4x4 link to the Air Champ Pro was to the Australian home
site, so that $220 price is in $AUS.  It's US$180 in the US -- not cheap by
any means, but judged to be a good value in the Overland Journal tests.

I'm very happy with my ARB CKMP12, but I'm not sure I would dig deep enough
to buy a new one these days ($400-ish).
