Best air system ever

With surf fishing and driving on the beach a lot, I dreaded the time it took to air back up with the system I had or the system on site. But with this Thor system, I was aired up in under five minutes. It almost took as long to set up as it did to fill lol. Love the set and forget setup. And it’s so accurate with the fill. The only issue I have is I didn’t buy this system sooner

Customer

Very responsive with all the questions and were able to fix an issue with my order. Better than most all of my experiences in with other companies customer service.

Outfitter tool box must have.

I have been running a Outfitting business in Sonora, Mexico for 20 years. The desert is brutal on truck tires. We are always dealing with air pressure issues. Thor has an amazing product along with amazing customer service.

Doesn’t fit and hard to reach

The slots on the passenger side were cut too short. When I attempted to install my thors lightning compressor it was contacting the hood strut and I was unable to install. The mount was pushed all the way towards the drivers side per instructions. Also, it seems that only three bolts can be installed. I would think due to all the space constraints they would fab up something that uses a baseplate and a plate that mounts to the compressor (or use the base it comes with) and have them just clip together.

It’s a shame since the compressor and the 4 way split hose system work fantastic.

Very Cool

I got to test this our over the weekend finally. IT operated very well with my newly installed ARB system. Deflated to 15 lbs and re inflated in in under 30 minutes. So far so good!

Solid product

I was looking for a compressor that didn't cost $1200 with an install kit and require open heart car surgery. These double compressors sold by Thor, EZ Flate, Napa, and MorrFlate work well. There's tons of videos online showing people modifying them to add pressure cut off switches. My objective was to soft install the compressor in a toolbox in the back of my truck and wire it to my battery with Anderson connectors. Little did I know that Thor makes all the parts and pieces to do exactly that and I was not the first to have this idea. When I saw their mounts and wiring kits, I ordered the compressor and the wiring kit. To my surprise the Thors model comes with a pressure cut off already. I loomed and cut the wire kit to length, ran it through the truck, cut a hole in the top of the bed wall and ran the + and - through a firewall gasket and screwed the Anderson plug to the toolbox. Worked out great. It airs up my four 33.5" tires from 16 psi to 36 psi in 3:35 using a 4 hose manifold kit. Very happy with the product.

Very impressed with this product

This product has exceeded my expectations. Living at the beach and going out several times had made the process less painful with the airing up. I would highly recommend this product as opposed to a single compressor or using a standard system

Well built!

This appears to be a well built system. The compressor is a bit heavy. I have not mounted it yet but have used the system,works great. the hoses in the kit have the coupler covers and the straps on them already. This has a power switch on the compressor and it look like it can be hardwired to the battery but not capable to be turned on by a switch. still have to open the hood to turn it on.

Great job and thanks for easing use

Lost

Like a knucklehead I left my compressor manifold on my winch after airing down, so I needed a new one. I have two of their completed air set ups and love them.

Great Inflater

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We hope our product continues to make your adventures even better. Happy travels!

Great add on but not what I really needed.

The 8' extension is well built and will definitely come in handy for many applications. However, what I really needed is no longer available. When I first bought my system Thor's offered an RV set up which I didn't need at the time. I don't see that as an option any longer. With having a fullsize longbed pickup and 30' travel trailer, one must be creative to get air back to the trailer. Wish they had an additional plug and play you could attach to the end hose to add on for the added length.

Great mount! But didn’t line up.

The mount is awesome! Keeps everything tucked away and locked in place. Mountain holes fit perfect but the part where it attached to the roll bar didn’t line up. The anchor bolt had to go in at an angle and the bolts are holding it in place. The mount was just a bit lower than where the hole in the roll bar is at. I can send pics if necessary.

Thor Lightning

I was shocked at the fact the it took 5 1/2 minutes to fill (4) 33x12.50x18 tires from being flat (took the Schrader valve out) to 37 psi. As far as noise, its not much different than your everyday tire inflator that you get from a store. I chose this compressor based on the fact that this is the only one that i found on the market with a factory 5yr warranty, i did purchase the extended 2 yr warranty, the competition has a 2 or 3 yr factory warranty for about the same price, I went with the longer warranty for basically the same price (little variation)

Thank you for your review! We are happy to hear that our Thor's Lightning Dynamo Lock-On Air Chuck Covers are working well for your air compressor lines. We appreciate your feedback and hope you continue to enjoy our product. Happy compressing!

So easy!

Waited to submit my review until I used the system off-road. Everything worked great! The inflator chucks are super fast. Now I want to now why I was doing it the hard way for so many years. If you’re ordering Thor’s Lightning right before your next trip like most of us, don’t forget the triple A batteries.
