    OK so it is possible to stall out a torque converter however it only happens once in a lifetime NOT every time like those wheeling sticks. :p

    Looks just like the ARB deflator which works really well takes less than 10 minutes to get all 4 tires aired down.

    pretty much...$10 cheaper too...

    i used to use my viair hose and use the gauge on the hose to deflate but would take a while...

    recently had my plastic hose break due to the cold weather and upgraded to a braided coil hose that won't snap in the cold weather..

    so i took my old plastic hose and cut it after the gauge for a more portable deflator, but i need to put my finger over the hose to hold the air and check the pressure (which gets annoying and cold)...

    These are the way to go, I've had a couple of different contraptions that I would use to deflate my favorite was pull the valve stem and guess:D.

    hey no problem...this thing is pretty sweet!

    should be a concept that the 2013's make standard....

    the amber is low key, then with a flip the white lights up the area very nicely...wish i had this a while ago! haha

    CVJ axles being built for the taco...to be installed this saturday with some new seals!

    opted out of upgrading the boots to silicone boots that are an option from CVJ and went with their neoprene boots...

    although having colored boots would have been pretty sweet...but for $45 more an axle, couldn't really justify for my application..

    "To ensure you a Quality axle CVJ:
    -Uses high quality grease and balls
    -Only reuses components with insignificant wear
    -Inspects splines and threads on all axles
    -Straighten bars to a standard twice as accurate as the industry
    To prevent leakage and dripping CVJ:
    -Uses top quality Neoprene boots
    -Polishs all seal surface"
