    This may be a weird post but I was curious if anyone has ever tried filling their tires with a 40cu nitrogen tank. If so how many would it take for 4 17" tires (bleed out to full)? I have these readily available to me from my work and probably would be cheaper vs going to some shop.

    A bunch a cool stickers, a bada ass MetalMiller Tx Longhorns grill emblem painted Hemi Orange, JBA long tube headers with o2 sims, Diff breather mod, Red LED interior lights, Fancy head unit that plays ipod n movies, Also DIY install factory stuff like, factory cruise control, factory intermittent wipers, OME nitro struts with 886x springs and toy tec top plate, JBA high caster UCA's for better alignmnet and dey beefier too, Old Man Emu Dakar leaf springs in da rear with the gear, U bolt flipper, Ivan Stewart TRD rims with 33" K Bro 2's, some bad ass weather tech floor liners so I don't muck up my interior, an ATO shackle flipper for mo travel in da rear wit the gear, also super shiny Fox 2.0 shocks back there too, all sorts of steal armor for bouncing off of the rocks like demello sliders, AP front skid, trans skid, n transfer skid, demello gas tank skid, and a tough as nails ARB bumper with warn 8k winch, I'm sure there's more
    Shops usually use an N2 generator rather than packaged gas. If you have CDA available to you, then that would be ideal and significantly cheaper.

    Dry air is almost 80% nitrogen. If your not driving a race car I wouldn't go out of my way or spend a dime on nitrogen.
    A dryer on your compressor is more than adequate.
    But having a bottle for off-road fills is cool.
