Thor’s Lightning Adventure Gear

I have loved using my gear from them. I first ordered the 4 way hose system. I only got one of the hoses in the bag though. I reached out and without delay they got the other half to me making the kit complete. No fuss at all. I then tried the kit out and was so impressed with it in both performance and build quality I placed a second order for a compressor, upgrading from the large Smittybilt. I selected the regular dual cylinder without the TotalControl. My reason for this was I also preordered the TotalControl stand alone manifold. I figured with my planned usage this would serve me best and leave the compressor fairly simple, plus it came with the Anderson connection which I liked the idea of having. After getting the compressor I then decided to mount it in my JKUR so I ordered the wiring kit....which worked wonderfully with the plug already on the compressor. I wanted it in the back passenger corner mounted on a shelf I have. So I ordered the JL kit being it was a tad longer. When I got the kit I was a little confused as the negative cable was only about 6.5ft long. Turns out the JL has a ground location under the backseat that the JKU does not have. It all worked out though because I knew from extending my breather hoses I could go through the back passenger fender down to the frame. That worked perfect. The kit was extremely well done and the Anderson plugs were a pleasure to work with, very easy. I have now placed a forth order for the compressor cover and a 8ft extension. Having just completed a week long trip airing up and down many times I quickly fell in love with the gear even more. It made the trip so much more enjoyable for me. I can air down my 37x12.5r17 tires from about 28psi to 13psi in under 5 minutes. That is getting the kit out, hooking up, and deflating. I can then air back up in under 7 minutes. A bit about me: I was rear ended on the job several years back and sustained a back injury giving me daily pain and issues. Anything that allows me to not be bent at tires is a win in my book. These products saved me time and pain. That's golden!!! They saved me so much time I found I was often helping my buddy out get his rig done too, since he was using a valve stem puller to deflate and a smaller compressor to inflate on each tire. I was able to air down all four of my tires and then do two of his in the time it was taking him to do two. The same was true going back up. I was able to air up all four of my tires and then do two of his in under the time he was taking to air up two of his. Each time I was done and the kit put away and he would still be working. This brings me to why I ordered the extension. With my compressor mounted in the back I do not have the reach hooking to the battery under the hood would give me. This was not an issue for me alone or only doing one side of his JT parked along side me. It was when we needed to air up all four of his tires the issue was uncovered. I have the full size hose kit but his JT had to pull extremely close, and at an angle to me, when we were running to a town in it and needed to air it up. With the extension though he will be able to simply pull behind me and I will be able to get the job done easier. So if you mount the compressor and might help another out from time to time I would recommend the extension. On a side note if you do mount the compressor in the rear of your Jeep I found that once I start the compressor it if I close the back glass alone the noise that reaches outside is minimal, not that it is terrible open. If you are trying to air up early and others are still sleeping in camp it is a good way to do it more considerately. I also bought their tire repair kit and love the molle. I mounted it to my table and was able to get rid of the one I had that was in a larger plastic case. Finally as a LEO myself I was also proud to find out the founders were guys like me and super happy I was able to save some coin using GovX. Each order I have placed shipped quickly and arrived to my door in Texas in about two days.

Had a trip planned at the end of July to do some trails in the San Juan mountains of Colorado. Problem was, my old compressor gave out on me in Moab back in March. So I drove quite a few extra hours out of my way from south west Kansas to pick up a Thors Lightning compressor at their shop in Wheat Ridge Colorado. Had trouble finding the shop, so I called their phone number to find out which door was their's. Angie answered the call and even walked around the building to find where I was parked. I told her I had driven from Kansas and was heading to the San Juans to do some trails, and I wanted to get one of their true dual air compressors. She informed me that they just had the Amazon Prime days and that they were out of the true air compressor and all they had in stock was the total control compressors. I didn't want to spend that much on a compressor, but Angie talked me into it, and I am glad she did. The total control compressor is so easy to use and fast. I used it 3 times on that trip it was so easy to use, and it doesn't even come close to getting as hot as my old compressor did. So if anyone needs a new compressor or just wants to upgrade to an American built, heavy duty, fast compressor with a five year warranty, go see Angie. She went out of her way to help me out. Thank you Angie. Saving up now to get their 4 tire hose system next.

I built a full kit and ended up ordering the wrong mounting bracket and the wrong wire harness. Sent them an E mail over the weekend then called Monday morning and left a message. They very promptly responded and were very understanding of my mistake. Gave me the address to return it to. Very nice guy and there was zero issue to return the items. I havent used the system yet but will be in the next week.

Wifey and i were out & about in our hobby car and stopped by son's house. He noticed all tires appeared to be down. He goes into the garage and comes back with a Thor's Lighning compressor, guage and hose system. Yep, tires down about 10 lbs. In under 5 minutes all 4 tires up to recommended pressure. Color me impressed -- just too cool for school!

I spent a couple of weeks researching air compressors and trying to decide what setup I wanted to go for my Jeep. I honestly think the infamous “algorithm” pushed an ad for Thor's Lightning to my Facebook feed and thank goodness for that algorithm for leading me here! I couldn’t find one negative review for their equipment and in fact every review I saw were from customers who were ecstatic that this compressor exceeded their expectations in every way. I also noticed a common theme of mentioning who incredible the customer service is and that’s really important to me when I’m investing in a product for my Jeep.  First - the customer service IS spectacular. Very helpful, very quick to respond, and in my opinion, go above and beyond for their customers. My AirVault2 was backordered and delayed by a week, but my air compressor, manifold and 4-tire hose kit were received last week and field-tested this weekend in the sand dunes of Glamis, CA. The operational capability of this compressor is incredibly impressive. I was able to go from 10 PSI to 37 PSI on all four 33” tires simultaneously in a little under 4 minutes, then turned around and did the exact same on another Jeep with the same stats and same results. My husband and I both kept marveling about how impressed we were with the Thor’s Lightning air system even after we got home from our overlanding weekend. This is hands down the best purchase I’ve made for my Jeep and I’m really glad I went with Thor’s Lightning! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 💯 would buy again!
