Airing Down Devices for all 4 tires

[Tools R Us]

It looks pretty straight forward except for the center inflate/deflate portion. What parts are involved there?

A gauge, connector for the supply line with a valve to release air and a manifold to connect everything to. More pictures;

I am running 4x4 training at work again.2 day course day 2 is on sand so I have 12 lc troopy tyres to deflate,scew the strauns in walk around the truck all tyres are at 15 psi easy

I think Staun is the standard. You can only use one if you want to go in on a set of four with a trio of buddies. Still fast, and no need for calibration.

Using a bicycle tyre makes calibration much quicker than with a giant truck tyre.

Got mine from Slee last Thrusday and took me about 15 mins to adjust to plus or minus about 3lbs--Thanx for the tip--I will fine tune them tonite.

Used them twice last weekend going to a chukar hiking spot and they are great!!

As in "spare" tires for when the inside thread of the valve stem gets x-threaded and striped?

 

[Mark W]

I've been pulling valve stem cores for years to air tires down. Never needed one of my spare cores. And never had a problem with getting them cross threaded either. For that matter I've never encountered a stem that this has been done to by anyone else or seen anyone else loose a core or damage the threads. The former can certainly happen but it is not that big a deal. The latter only takes a minute amount of attention to avoid.

Pretty much a none issue IMHO.

I just scored a set of oasis deflaters from a buddy who sold his Heep and kept em for me. The price was right (free) but I haven't had a chance to set or test them out yet. Hopefully this weekend or next.

I made mine aswell. Airs down all 4 at the same time, airs all 4 back up at the same time, and equilizes the pressure in all 4 tires

currie enterprises has a device called an ez deflator costs $29....it has a tube that screws on to your valve stem...then you unsrew the needle with a little nurled end piece and it captures it inside the little tube you screwed on the valve stem....pull the air release and watch the gauge to the desired air pressure....push air release back down...screw the needle back unscrew the tube...accurate...of course with anything with threads you risk a chance of cross threading but this little unit it wouldbe pretty tough to and impossible to lose your needle....but you do have to walk around your truck manually and do one at a time...some one on the trail let be borrow theres and i bought 2 one for me one to give away at our club holiday party...of course you do have to order something from a j#@p site

I just use a $1.49 manual deflator purchased at Pep Boys. Screw it on, wait a little while, check, and repeat until desired psi is attained. Lots cheaper, but not as sophisticated as the Staun's.
