    As tight as I pack my truck for a Baja Beach camping trip, that tank would be difficult to fit when the MV-50 is so small and goes easily behind my seat. That's okay... different strokes for different folks!

    A CO2 tank works a lot faster than any air compressor for airing back up.
    I happen to have one that's looking for a new home.
    Make me an offer.

    It’s way faster than a gas station.
    But it also leaks out of the tires faster than compressed air

    I used CO2 for years, and never had a leakage problem.

    Didn’t say it’s a problem. Most guys that use this stuff are good about checking their air pressure anyway. Still truth in my statement though

    Took our Camry on public beach in Texas. If that can handle the sand pretty sure the Taco can.

    FYI some people doing excess of 70MPH on the gulf coast beaches.

    :thumbsup:
    What you can’t do tho is walk down to your buddy further up/down the trail and reset a blown tire bead. With a CO2 tank you go from zero to hero lol

    Instead of CO2, can't you get it filled with nitrogen? Isn't that a preferred gas for the tires?

    way way back in the day while i was at ft sam in the Army, i drove to padre island and drove my 89 plymouth k-car out a couple miles. There was a sign that said 4x4 only past this point. The sand i am used to going on isn't that k-car sand. it's the thick sugary stuff. I have been up and down the hatteras seashore as well as cape lookout. The only sand i really worry about along the ocean side is the orange'y stuff. That stuff when you walk through it, sucks you down. Nothing getting out of that stuff so just avoid it. On the sound side of the beaches down here, stay away from the black tarry looking sand. It does the same as the orange stuff.

    i remember one time at hatteras there was a stretch of orange sand i went through in 4hi in my 2002 xterra. I had to use lo to get out of it and i remember revs being high but she was slowly making progress- probably a good 200 yards of that. Lots of big old (newer at the time) gmc pickups buried to their chassis out there.

    LOL.

    Well, yes, but cost prohibitive for the regular guy

    It's preferred by dealers that like to charge lots of $$$ for it.
