Tire Deflation...

[Sawyer]

The EOP units have one great advantage, having a 10-20psi range in 2psi increments. They are expensive at $99 each. For that reason, I only have two.

I just picked one of these up to give a try (10-20psi version). Do you carry two of the standard versions or one standard and one rock crawler?

I agree with IggyB, a lot to members are reading way more into things on this forum (all threads), and some members are not thinking how members might read these posts. This forum has a lot of growing pains, but that's not an excuse, please think/reread your posts before the final click. Or if necessary, remove anything that might be construed as offensive before posting. That way we can stay on topic (sorry for this) and enjoy the discussion.

Agreed.

I think we're all getting a little edgy and starting to read more than there is in each other's posts. And not just on this topic either.

If you're wheeling with a buddy who has a Toyota and you drive a Rover, do you bring any spare parts for him to use?

if it's a universal part, what's the problem with sharing?

are you the guy that drives past the stranded/stuck vehicle because you don't want to get your strap muddy?

i baught the ARB one and the small piece that fits over the valve to remove it was to large. so i returned it and havnt baught anything else yet. but i really like how the stauns work... quicker when deflating large tires than individually

I first bought the ARB deflator, after a few uses out in Death Valley I sold it. I can't remember why I did not like it, but I just did not.

I then moved on to a set of Stauns, but found that I was often accidentally changing the setting. Sold them too.

Now I just use my Tire Inflator from my Viar to deflate the tires. Not as quick as the others, but reliable, easy, and serves two functions

i currently have a set of stauns...not really impressed with them...
have seen the ARB deflator, in action too...and im gonna get one next week...
they have many more uses than stauns...and last time wheeling one of my valve cores came loose..so i coulda used the ARB to tighten it up...

go figure.... :coffeedrink:

You're reading a little much into the post. Universal spare part? Spare is a part for a particular vehicle, not a tool or fluid. Rover vs. Toyota............ What spare part do they have in common? I don't know.


Last one I post in this thread, full moon must be out.

LOL iggy,,

I have the Stauns and like them a lot. I don't have any experience with the other devices but don't see a need to either. As far as speed goes, what's everybody's hurry? Take a stick and poke a rock or just stare at the beautiful country side while the little brass wonders do their job. The big plus for me is they don't take up a lot of space, I keep them in my ash tray or the now dubbed Staun tray.

Tire deflators...

Lots of threads for this. But I need help deciding between these two (5?) deflation devices.

I want a tire deflation device. Help me decide between the ARB tire deflator, or the Staun deflators. Which is better, do you have experience with either of these, or something different? Whaddya think?

ARB: http://www.man-a-fre.com/pa2/arbeztiredeflator.htm

Staun: http://www.4by4connection.com/stauntirdef.html

I suppose I could pick up a valve core removal tool on the cheap, but I want new toys.

Simple

I have owned both

I love the ARB and still have it , I gave the staun junk away after ending up with the wrong pressure in my tires to many times on winter runs.

The ARB deflator is accurate fast and works perfect. It also gives you a valve stem tool that works great so when you need to pull a valve stem to reseat a bead its right there ready for action.

Get the ARB you wont regret it.

Dumb question, are the Smittybilt deflators the same or similar as the Stauns? I just got a set of Smittybilts that are adjustable, and like them so far, just curious if the design was a copy or not. My first deflators here, so I am not "up" on them all. Im just glad to not have to use my fingernail anymore...

Never mind... I just saw a picture of Stauns, and I think its safe to say the Smitty's and Stauns are certainly very similar, but not identical. Hmmm... Smitty's are much 'cheaper'

A guy showed me his custom setup a little while ago which I intend to copy. Simply assembled using off the shelf components. It's single gauge connected to 2 hoses each with a clamp-on valve connector. Simple clamp the ends on both tires on one side of the trailer, open a valve, and airdown both tires on one side simultaneously. Can also be used to inflate two tires at once. Only disadvantage is that both tires go to the same pressure, but I always do anyway.

 

[Mr. Leary]

Has anyone here used Roger Brown's 2air or 4air system?

Advantages are you can equilize pressure between tires, and use air from the spare to air up a flat, etc. They have no guage, but I carry a nice one I picked up on sale a while back.

I use Stauns now, they work great for what I use them for. I have put thread locker on them to keep the setting from changing.

I would like something additional, and the 4air may just be it.
