What accessories are you buying and tools/straps are you keeping in the bed?

Here is what I purchased. Only $23 for 12. https://tinyurl.com/2n442rp3

I keep this tire filling setup in the basement of the bed. It can fill all four tires from 35 psi to 50 psi in 4 minutes total. I have it for airing up after off-roading, but it would work great to fill a single tire after plugging a puncture. It plugs into the 120V bed outlet.

Can you provide linked to this setup?

Compressor: Amazon.com: TC·BL Portable Air Compressor 110V,Ultra Quiet Air Compressor Oil Free and Lightweight Small Air Pump : Tools & Home Improvement

The compressor recently went up by $10 on Amazon. You might be able to find it for less somewhere else.

Inflation System: MORRFlate Quad+: 4-Tire Hose Kit, Up to 155" Wheelbase • MORRFlate by My Off Road Radio

The Morrflate system is also available on Amazon and also from 4x4 specialty stores. You might save a few bucks if you shop around or find a sale.

I will caution that this compressor puts out so much air that I only recommend it for filling four tires at once. It will work to fill one tire (for example emergency flat repair), but the tire valve becomes the bottleneck and it will build excessive pressure differential between the hoses and the tire. That makes the compressor work harder and it's inefficient. Depending upon what pressure cutoff you set, it will cycle on/off every few seconds if only filling one tire until the target tire pressure is reached. It will happen very quickly with only one tire connected. You can still use the Morrflate hoses to fill one tire because the chucks seal closed when not connected to a valve stem.

It puts out so much air that even when filling four tires simultaneously there is still about a 5 psi or greater pressure differential between the compressor and tire so it's necessary to set a higher pressure than the tire pressure you want to keep it from shutting off prematurely. But is it ever fast!

As to the Morrflate hose system, it's very high quality. It has dust end caps to protect the air chucks from sand and dirt since it will be on the ground. I don't like the digital pressure gauge though, it seems to kill it's AAAx2 batteries in just a few days. I suspect the hoses are pushing on the on/off button in transport and turning it on so I need to find a rigid cover or clamshell case to prevent that from happening, so I don't need to remove the batteries after use.

One word about using a quad fill system like this: It's great to have all your tires at exactly the same pressure. That will not be possible in some situations. For example, if your Cybertruck has been parked in the sun, with two tires exposed and two in the shade, it can only equalize the pressure between all four tires. When the temperatures have equalized, the tires that were in the sun will have a bit less pressure in them. You can slightly overfill and then let out the extra air in two of them when the temperatures have equalized.

Since your tires are often warm when using this system, you need to estimate the warm tire pressure rise. For example, if my target pressure is 52 psi cold, and I know the tires are warm, I fill them to 56 psi so when they cool down they are not below my desired pressure. The A/T tires can handle up to 80 psi cold pressure, so no problem there.

This will be my first truck. What are the essential ropes, hooks, bungees, tie downs etc.?

If your first truck (I'm a life long rock crawl jeeper and big truck gato myself)

Priority 0:
- Air compressor (b/c no spare)
- tire PLUG kit
- IFAK (for you or any emergency)

Priority everything else:
- Use your truck for a bit and figure out what works for YOU

Everything else you go out and buy might look cool, but its really just extra weight that you might never use. I've spent tens of thousands of $$$$ of cool gear that I don't think I ever cracked open on trail to be honest. Don't get me wrong, straps, ties, etc. are essential, but that was for me, might not be essentially for you.

Make sense?
