Airing up tires after trail

What do some of you use to air up your tires after airing down. Had a small pump but it would take awhile to air back up the tires. Looking for something that doesn’t take a half hour to air back up.
 
How long does it take per tire?
About 1-2 min per tire. It’s not super fast or powerful but it worked on 285/75/16’s and it’s worked on 275/70/18’s. I do one tire let it sit for a few minutes to cool down then do another. It’s about a 15 min process to do all 4. You could probably do them back to back but I don’t want to burn it out.
 
Viair 400P. I did the C02 thing for a couple years, which was excessive weight and takes up valuable space compared to the VIAIR compressor. When we go on longer trips, space is at a premium. It's also faster than my old C02 set up. (Relatively small regulator) With my old broken down body, it takes longer to get up and down off the ground than it does to inflate the tire!
 
I know I have seen this before somewhere, but not really sure where. Basically what I'm looking for is a 4 way splitter that is connected to your tires and you have one central point for either inflating or deflating your tires. Plus then after letting it sit for a moment all 4 tires will equalize in pressure.
 
My wife's uncle came back from Namibia talking about a Hilux diesel "Bakki" flatbed used by his outfitter. They had a large high pressure truck tire strapped to the headache rack - and a jumper hose to refill the tires after a cruise in the Kalahari.
