Is there a way to add this to a 200?

Will it be too cost prohibitive? I see some companies offering it for use in any vehicle. I would like to digitally controlled via app.
 
Nope. No way. Sorry.
 
I saw this website and thought it may be possible just a bit ugly:

They are not too far from me.
 
This might be a cheaper alternative, depending on what your real requirements are?

Indeflate: Home

Saw someone else posted, but can't remember who (to give credit) but it does seem handy.
 
I'm trying to find something like this:


Preferably with cable running on the inside of the vehicle.
 
Humvees have CTIS....always had issues with it. may have been the desert sand in Yuma, or the gov't contractor mechanics, but they all seemed to leak or had been scrapped all together.

Some of the bigger vehicles (MRAP / Striker ) seemed to have better results. Can't imagine what that system would cost in the civilian world.
 
Still too complex.

That’s a good point, because since this current little war has been going on, I’ve never seen a HMMWV with CTIS. Don’t know why we would need it anyway, up armoreds run at 20 psi all the time.

More recently with MATVs, their CTIS works pretty well, but like a lot of others have said. Just have an air compressor or stop at a gas station.

The air fitting hubs alone make this a very, very, very expensive conversion. (Not like the cheaper “hose on the outside of the wheel” method would help a land cruiser. Off-roading alone would destroy them.

And if you want to know what a CTIS costs on a Stryker (it’s named for two MoH receipients, not striker) it’s about two new 200s.
 
Totally possible, Arctic Trucks installs them on a variety of Toyota's including the 200. However, it is external and thus is fantastic for polar/Arctic travel and sand but would lack for tighter trails, foliage, etc.

Having just spent a month traveling in CTIS equipped Hilux's and airing up/down hundreds of times... it is amazing in the snow. You can see the black supply lines

The internal style such as those used by the Toyota MegaCruiser could be done with a great deal of cost/engineering.

Hey. I have seen it on a land cruiser and i have some details

I was excited for the tech discussion in this thread. Am I the only one that found it a bit amusing that we went from hardcore to softcore?

@Reckless Not sure if you got that compressor yet and what size tires you have, but even for stock tires, I think that lithium pump is going to be challenged to do anything but seasonal top-offs. Not sure it's going to have the chops/fill rate to handle airing up after an off-road jaunt?

Here's a common portable one many use. They're bigger than pictures lead on and may be a pain to store, but that's the size compressor necessary to fill tires in a reasonable time.

Why stop there. If you’re going to carry a bag, carry a big bag.


only draws 100 amps
