      Hey Ben I have a 2001 XJ and was wondering how well does your hood vents from hyline off-road work and mine is a daily driver but tends to get warm in the summer here in Indiana and was just wondering if I would encounter any problems when driving in the rain?

    Of course we're using Monster Valves on our own rigs but before we developed them, we always had a set of Trailhead Deflators. They work similarly to the JT Brooks but the set screw is recessed making it harder to knock out of adjustment. They may take longer to air down than pulling the valve core but there's less "knee time" spent at each tire which means we have time to prep other gear or check out other rigs.

  • @davidgreen9957
    @davidgreen9957 6 років тому +10

    I have the Staun tire deflators, much like the JT Brooks, they are slow. I found them to be somewhat inaccurate as they don't always stop at the preset pressure. I made my own dual tire deflator/inflator using 2 Haltec H-5265 air chucks $12 each, a Harbor Freight 3-Way Industrial Quick Coupling Manifold $14, a 0-100 psi ari gauge $16, Harbor Freight 3/8 Ball Valve $4 and some miscellaneous barb fittings, hose clamps and Harbor Freight 3/8 in. x 25 ft. PVC/Rubber Hybrid Air Hose $20. About $80 total. Works great, fast and keeps the left and right tire pressures dead even. I have seen the 4 tire versions, but it seems like a tangled mess, so I made mine with only 2 air chucks. More expensive but does double duty.

      I did the same thing but do all four at one time. I also have a built in gauge to the manifold along with a ball valve to let the air out or in at the same time. All tires get exactly the same amount of air by equalizing pressure in the system. Very fast way of airing down or up.

    @dougharlow6037 6 років тому +1

    I have been doing my tire air downs the old fashion way with that first tire gauge you demonstrated, very slow, but accurate. I would love winning the “Currie EZ Tire Deflator”. It looks way easier and faster to deflate my tires as to the old fashion way. Another great video. Keep them coming. Thanks

  • @kelso1337
    @kelso1337 6 років тому +1

    I used the ARB deflators very similar to Currie deflators. Almost identical as if Currie bought the design or something. Its nice knowing where your pressure is at while deflating but one tire at a time is slow. Keep up the good work!

    My 20 year old grandson just bought his first jeep. We are now a 3 Jeep family. This would be a great addition to his wheeling kit. Personally I have a system where I have 2 1/4 hoses connected to a 3 way manifold where I can air down 2 tires at once and monitor the air flow with a pressure gauge on the manifold. Air up the same way 2 tires at once using my onboard air system. Running Cooper A/Ts and normallly run 20psi.

    Been off roading since the 70's with both 4x2 & 4x4 ... nobody ever aired down back then, ... still went all over hell in the hills.
    Today I still don't bother with it and still get to all the cool outback place without spinning out like crazy, wrecking tires, being left behind, etc.
    Do what works for you but it always makes me wonder why everyone is airing down the moment they leave the pavement🤔.
    Yes, it does give extra traction however I have yet to really ever 'need' that extra traction unless rock crawling.
    Just 'drive' guys!

    I use Trailhead brand deflators. They use a small allen wrench to set pressure.
    I put the on one a time and watched my TPS gauge as the pressure got near where I wanted it I just screwed the allen in to stop deflating. From then on screw all 4 on and let them go.
    They work very well.

    Hey Ben, I have both the ARB (basically the same thing as the currie EZ deflator) and the staun deflators, my theory goes like this, if I'm with a group, I like to check out the other rigs so I use the stauns and walk away check out some other rigs and talk with folks, if I'm alone or with just 1 other rig, I'll use my ARB EZ deflator cause it's way faster and rather get on with exploring.

    I have one of the $20 amazon EZ deflator ones that I have been using for the past 2 years. It works, but the gauge is off by about 3psi from any other gauge I use. At least it's consistently wrong, so I just aim accordingly. On the trail I run 12psi with no doors/no top/day gear, and 16psi with doors/top/ multi day gear. Sometimes terrain dictates otherwise.

    I use the Teraflex deflators. I’ve found it hard to run all four at once, so I typically run two on one side while I loan the other two to a wheeling buddy. That way, everyone gets aired down faster.

      @@JKGearandGadgets I just watched your video, didn't realize you made one for them! They look great man, I can't get enough of the videos you make. Unfortunately, I tried the discount code and I think it expired.

    Love the JTbrooks pro's, although i havnt used them on my jeep seeing as we dont really have rocks here in East TX so my 28psi does fine for the mud and trails but I do use them ALOT on my quad for mud ride to easily set tires to 5psi, great over view on other products too keep it up bud

    Thank you for the information usually I don’t air down my tires because I have to do it manually and it takes too long

    I currently air down with the standard pen style air gauge and I go down to 10 psi

    Don’t really air down much myself since I only have the first method you showed, with the passenger calling out the TPMS
