    So run 2 switches to 2 regulators with a gauge? Because the wifey air system comes with a gauge

    Assuming 2nd Gen V6 4x4:
    Towing
    Max Gross Trailer Weight (Hitch): 6,500 lbs
    Sway Control Required over 2,000 lbs
    Max Gross vehicle weight: 11,100 lbs (Vehicle, Occupants, Cargo, and Trailer)
    Max Tongue Load: 650 lbs
    Max Gross Trailer Weight (Bumper): 3,500 lbs

    I haven't known the actual weight of the heaviest loads I've pulled, and I don't do it that often, but in my limited experience I'd have to agree with that. I also don't have a brake controller, nor have the trailers had sway control that I know of (because honestly aside from a special kind of hitch I'm not sure what that is).

    Holy hell... not gonna lie... that whole system is taking one of the simplest tasks and making it super complex. I'd vote just get an indeflate and ditch that "system".

    Also valve stems in the wheels wells??? What if you go wheeling in snow and they get caked in snow and ice... or caked in mud and shit? Not to mention potential damage from rocks and shit. Good lord that system is dumb as fuck.

    What hasn't been modified?
    The switch would control a solenoid that Leads to the regulator.

    @lambo is correct in your over complicating it. The wifey is an over glorified quad hose.

    To air down, it’s gonna take longer since your not removing the valve core.

    How are you going to keep those 4 quick disconnects clean? Granted here we have less mud but I just don't see those functioning after a trip to Moab.

    Am I high AF, or would the following tire sizes be a great choice for a taco if they existed?

    285/85R16
    285/80R17

    They’d basically be pizza cutter 35s! Width of your typical 33s but with the extra height.

    I love my multi process machine. Can’t TIG aluminum but I don’t really weld aluminum all that much anymore, worst case I’ll just buy a spool gun if I really need it
