Northern Virginia Roll Call

While we're talking about nifty air valves, I thought these would be pretty handy in an oh crap moment.

Those are on my list of things to buy. Dunno why I haven’t grabbed a set, since they’re so inexpensive

 

You're safe with me buddy. I bought a set.

 

These are too slow imo. They make a core remover gauge setup.

These saved my ass once, now i keep them in my glove box

 

I have a core remover set up. Sure each tire individually will be faster, but I believe it’ll be the same amount of time to be able to collectively do them all at once. Will only take 4-5 min total with these and save my knees.

 

Ive only aired down twice in a mall parking lot, but this was still quicker and less noisy.

Guess next time we’re together we’ll have to have a “race”. I still firmly believe they’ll take approx the same amount of time. I’ll test it this weekend though.


Also I can screw mine on and immediately start driving

 

Well my curiosity got to me so I’m in my garage right now airing down a tire and timing it.

 

@Darkgoatracer 4:23 to air down one 35” tire. Let’s round up to 5 minutes total to take into account me walking around and screwing on all 4 deflators and taking them off as they finish.

let’s also hope I remember to air it back up tomorrow.

 

Start driving around and break your valve stems off.

Lets hope no. If you run into sand you will need the extra traction

 

Only time I would do that would be the beach. It’d be handy at a place like assateague where they limit the people on the beach so you can get a head start on people

 

I mean, its a solid idea. I actually have 2 sets in my glove box, one set for 22 and the other for 16. And then i bought a quick deflator.

 

It’s common for beach fisherman, where I got the idea. Where they race to the good spots once the beach opens up. I figure I’ll continue to carry the manual deflator and use it for places like flagpole where I don’t air down quite as far, or lend it to someone else who doesn’t have any air down tool.

 

Hey guys. Looking for some advice here... I have my bed rack & rtt, but I want to change it up a little bit.

I have been considering selling the all pro bed rack I have now for a KB voodoo, mostly so I can mount things onto the side of the rack.

Now what I want to do is buy a bed rack that is compatible with a soft-topper. Does anyone know if the kb voodoo bed racks would work with any of the soft-toppers? I want to be able to put things in the bed without getting wet (or at least very wet).

Any ideas with this?

 

Sos offroad concepts is making a new modular softopper rack. I love my one piece rack but shipping royally sucks.

If you have any online account and a smartphone, they already have all that.

+1 I need to swap out my large N2 tank for a small one. Had an idea to mount it in the front of the bed and run line with QD connections to both sides of the bed to make airing up even easier.

Full height or mid height? I have a full height KB Voodoo rack I will be listing once I get around to it.

 

Lots of better options. Don't go KB. Since you have already bought/sold one LOL

 

Be a cold day before I purchase anything else from him.

 

Pretty sure Mobtown makes one as well that's sold as able to be used over a Softopper.

 

Quick deflator is the way to go. I've always just used the stick method but after picking up an ARB quick deflator, I can do all 4 down to whatever in under 5 minutes.
