Im the one that runs CO2 for tires. When you're filling 35s its a life saver. Takes 30sec a tire from 10psi to 32. Way faster than any compressor. I still bring my old tiny Vair p90 compressor for backup though if I do run out. Its not too hard to check the tank and get it filled. Usually 20 bucks a pop.

Wouldn't do Nitrogen. Even though there is science out there that say Nitro is more stable to run in tires...we aren't on a race track. Plus that shit is EXPENSIVE. Good to have a nitro kit if you rebuild your own shocks though.

A good compressor does the trick just fine though.

Like Ben (and most others), I'm fine with an onboard air compressor. My travels generally don't require me airing up more than once a day (and on a good trip where we stay on dirt for a week - much less than that)! I'm OK with 10 minutes to air up in that situation. And, if you get a double compressor rather than the single version I have, it can go even quicker (though, larger-than-33"-tires would of course slow it down). With a bit more time, the cheaper Viair options also get the job done.

As far as tanks go - Nitrogen is expensive, so the more common compressed gas people use is CO2. Monte (@Blackdawg) uses this whenever he can, and swears by it. Rather than 10 minutes, he can be filled up (up to 35" tires) in about 5 minutes. And a compressed tank lasts him quite a while. I think he gets something like 100 tire fills with his size 40-50 (?) tank. The downside of course is that he also has to carry a compressor in case he runs out in the tank, or he has to rely on others to help fill him up.

Of course - there's another option, depending on where you're wheeling. You can always go to a gas station to re-inflate. That might mean driving a few miles aired down on pavement, but if it's not too far, and you don't go too fast (keep it around 45mph) you should be fine.

 

So much information. You all are awesome

 

mines a 20lb tank. wouldn't want any bigger than that. Does last a long time. Especially with 33s. usually a year and a half or so. I won't keep track of exact tire fills..

It is amazingly fast. I can unpack my CO2, setup the regulator, fill up, take it all apart and pack up before you're done with 2 tires I think.

 

So CO2...not Nitrogen. Good to know, and at least I was on the right track. That's why I tagged those 1st gen guys....to get it right.

Here is a good price on a C02 set up. I have one but need a new tank.

 

I am not 100% committed on this one.
My friend Rebecca and her friend want to go. Brad said he may come in on Sat. I should

The weather is not what’s bothering me, it’s the giant pile of boxes of stuff I have yet to install. A fabricator friend of mine is moving out of town in a few weeks, and I need his help on a couple things for the trailer and truck.

My gut says it’s time to:
install the OffGrid Engineering Dual Battery Setup, the PowerTray with the two SPOD Bantams, and get going on these brackets I need to fab to mount this AluCab Shadow Awning for us to enjoy on the upcoming trips.

Ah the list, I see no end in site!

 

Well I should be up there still, just hide under my canopy during the rain haha. Just bring all those boxes up and we'll install them haha. There's service up there so I should still be able to get into contact with you guys or anybody that wants to head up

 

Anybody been riding OHV/ATV in Houston valley just west of Dalton?

Gonna take my wife and son up there on Friday and Saturday. Just looking for a mellow place not too crowded or technical.

 

Nope, would like to hear about that

 

I will report back. I am just hoping the weather doesn't shut everything down.

 

If it does you could shoot over to Blue Ridge and hang with me

 

Josh meet Rebecca (@rkam65), Rebecca meet Josh.
She and her friend will be joining you, rain or shine.

 

@rkam65

 

Their forest service page claims it’s closed. Make sure you call before making the drive!

 

Yeah definitely call the Conasauga Ranger District before you haul your bikes/atvs up there. They will close them when it gets too wet to prevent trail damage. And it’s How-Ston Valley, not Hue-ston Valley... Crazy west Georgians haha!

 

Good looking out, will do. Thank you
