*Edit*
Read your other post, you're just looking for ther pump correct?  I know the TC pumps are good stuff, and as CRS said on your other thread, they are a bit pricey.  However, The TG pump says it is "TC" style pump.    The way companies word things like that has never rubbed me the right way, not just TG.  If you're wanting a "TC" pump, I'd go through PSC motorsports.  A "TC" like pump, may lack some of the qualities you want.

Nice intelligent response!




The stock toy pump is not capable as is to support a hydro assist system and was never meant to support tires larger than 31". Knowing this with a little modification your toy pump can handle the duties of turning your larger than stock tires and push enough volume for those larger tires. A moddified stock pump will push more volume but the gains in pressure are minimal even after mods.
 I keep an extra pump with my tow rig and keep an eye on my fluid level, but otherwise I feel the modded stock pump is worthy of use. I do get a bit of whine frome my modded pump and worry it may stop functioning at acceptabley one day.

As far as the trail gear pump is conscerned, I think it is overpriced, but I have no experiance nor do I plan to have at any time in the future. My money will go to a more competent company when the time is right.

thanks for the two useful posts.  I support Marlin and Trail Gear b/c they have both been great companies to deal with throughout my buildup.

I will look further into the TC pump and PSC.... although PSC's website sucks to navigate

I have a large remote res'vr and a large cooler.  Tons of folks are running the stock pump and some are even unmodded SO.....
PSC pump with pulley and bracket= $300
Trail Gear pump with pulley and bracket= $325

brand new stock pump from autozone= $93

all of these were with next day delivery.  guess what I did?  ;D
