Airing down tires.

I have a beer/gas setup for pouring nitro beers on tap. Using co2/nitro blends on road trips makes it nice so you dont have to keep topping off the tires with co2 for the trip home. You know, molecule size and rubber.

 

I have the Costco compressor. It works great for my needs. I go seriously off roading about every one in awhile, so it is good to have behind the rear seat.

 

This makes no sense, which ARB deflator are you using?

if you plan on airing down. do yourself a favor an buy the arb ez deflator or similar. even going from like 36psi to 25psi takes forever with a tradition deflator. you’ll thank me later.



also i air up with a power tank. way faster than any compressor setup. period. i can air up all 4 tires before most compressors can do one especially when going up 11psi

 

how in the fuck did you manage that.

 

Oh, he cant use that one, the specs say it’s not a Toy!

 

I was given some Smittybilt credit, so I got this one “for free” - its pretty good and fills tires really fast. Comes with nice accessories, too: https://www.4wheelparts.com/Air-Compressors-Air-Tanks-Air-Accessories/Smittybilt-2-54-CFM-Air-Compressor

 

Sounds like youre serving Brobrew on tap!

 

I use this to air sown. Once you get them set up at home. All you do is screw them on at the trail head and when they stop hising you are at the set pressure that you have adjusted them to .

To air up I use this.

It's a beast and it airs up really fast. It has a duty cycle of 45 minutes.

 

3.2 CFM. - that’s a good rate and the price is right. My Smittybilt puts out 2.5 CFM and costs about $10 more. Would have gone with the masterflow had I known, and like the Smittybilt, it also comes with a deflator and low pressure guage that is good for monitoring how much you air down.

 

That's funny I use the same one for my needs for my Jeep and Tacoma. The viair 88p. They're so cheap that actually bought two. One to deal with the tires on one side of the truck and one to deal with the other two since they recommend not letting them run for too long or they overheat. I originally bought the Costco air compressor and it just took so long to inflate so I ended up returning it the first week I bought it.
I also have these and make airing down so much quicker.

My Tacoma is 2 wheel drive tacoma and I air down to 20. I've driven some pretty fun trails out in Ocotillo Wells (Pumpkin Patch) east of San Diego and never got stuck. Had good traction with 285/70 Wildpeak's. Have fun off roading!

 

Tip 1 - when using an ARB deflator or similar, that removes the valve core to let air out rapidly, be sure to screw the core stem back in BEFORE you remove the device from the stem. did that once, sounds like @Matic did as well .

TIP 2 - carry extra valve cores in your airdown kit, sometimes they go bad and you need to put a new one in, sometimes they launch into outersapce if not done right

Bring extra needle valves with you just in case you back off to much and lose one.
