When we rented the Jeeps, they were always aired down to about 15psi or so. When rock climbing or driving on sand, it does provide more traction.
Cheap air compressors do not have the CFM or duty cycle to pump up 35"s unless I want to take 2 hrs or so to do it. The units that can do it run in the $400 range. Right now, since we work, we are looking at 3 or 4 trips a yr so We dont think its worth it. When we rented, we drove on the road for 15-20 miles (with the rental companies permission) to get to the trail head. He said as long as you're not going long distance its not an issue. So getting to a gas station with air after we finish the trail should not be an issue.
I would love to have an ARB dual piston compressor and do an under hood mount but then Im looking at close to $1k for that set up. That might come down line after we retire an we start doing this more often. We have started looking at property in the St George area.
I would rather put that $$$ toward a toy like this.

I think someone recorded your adventure and posted on YT. As I recall it went viral. No one thought it could be done .... you proved them wrong.....whoooo yaaaaaa.
