OK, what the hell!?
10-20 for the cheapies, ok... $60 for some preset ones, I can buy that... $100 for the 4air, sure, slick setup I get it.. but $400?!?! what's the justification? Do the mow the lawn when not being used? dishes? laundry? sexual favors? there's got to be something to justify that kind of price.

Nope its $99. You only need one. They are pretty sweet deflators designed for the military. Unfortunately for me there is almost no mark-up on them and after the CC processing fee, I break even. I will do that for any good product, just to bring it to the market.
They are very similar to Staun's, however have a selectable dial that allows you to select your PSI. For example, on trail you have never been to before, you start off at 16 PSI, then you hit an obstacle where you need more traction and need to air down more than 16, you can just dial it in. With Stauns you can't do that since you set them up to your pre-set.
However it would be very nice if they did mow the lawn, do the dishes, laundry and sexual favors... but that's why I got a I wife... LOL!
Seriously not to trying to promote the product, but just educate you all on them. I carry Stauns and the Sun's like Firetacoma posted... then I have all my bases covered and under the $99 mark.
Tried my core removal thing. Works good. And it was free. And I never have to look for it, because it's screwed onto my front driver tire. Not sure what's so hard about it....you don't take it all the way out, just partway.

The more I am reading about those, the sweeter they sound. So you think you could get by with just one? Get some el cheapo Suns or Teraflex ones to get you started then dial it in with a single Mil Spec and be set. Hmn...

Riiiiggghhhht. Seriously, if you wanna go cheap, buy some $2.00 deflators from CARQUEST or any other parts store. You're gonna have a hellish time out on the trail trying to air your tires down uniformly by removing the valve cores. You're also gonna cross thread them and bung up your valve stem, and if your hands are cold, fuhgettaboutit.
I applaud your ingenuity and frugality, but there's a market for deflators for a reason dude.

Great to hear from you Will. One of these days, I'm gonna buy one of those deflators from you. You've got one awesome rig, and a great business. Hey, do you sell a lot of those ViAir compressors? It seems like that's a very price-inflexible product. Everywhere you go they're expensive. But I sure do like 'em.

I have never sold a set of four... the most is one guy bought one of each. You only need one.
With the Mil Spec's there is no need to use the others... just dial it in. They are not cheap, as mentioned above.
For the cheapies, I prefer the Sun's. If you start off with them, the Staun's and other just seem so worth the extra Money. I used to walk around and put each Sun on the wheel at the same time, then when the tire I started off with reached the desired PSI, remove in the same order they were put on... normally resulting in a +/- 2 psi range. Fine adjustments were then made with the back of a cheap pressure gauge. Worked great until I got the Stauns.

that's pretty much how I do it. When the first one gets close, I turn the others off. By the time I do that, the first one is usually good, and then I go to the next one and usually do 2 at a time then.
My tires are load range c with flexy/weak sidewalls, so i am a little more careful about not going too low.
Just scored some Sun's, so won't have to borrow your alls any more. And when I show up late, which seems to be my style, no matter how early I plan to be there. I won't have to ralleye to catch up.
Sending out another feeler to see if anyone might be interested or knows a local shop that will do custom body work.
Basically I want to add some hood vents to my Taco.
Now because my Taco is my "nice" truck I want this to look good. So what I would settle for on my 88 won't cut the mustard...
Even though my 4Runner does not have LEDs the blinkers still act like crack heads. So today I did this:

Super easy, take out one resistor. I used a soldering iron but I bet it could be chopped out...
Alright, I guess it's time for a build thread.
GOAL: Rig capable of mild to moderate trails but maintaining it's usefullness for general camping and occasional errand running and trailer pulling.
So, no, I have no plans for SAS (at least not now :D) and it's not going to be a show rig but I am...
I know a few guys have it... Hows it holding up? Is the color fading at all? I'm thinking about grabbing some white for my bed but I'm scared it will yellow. Black is option b and would Be ok too. I like the texture I saw on the whale and Drews runner. The bed liner texture I saw on the site...
Here's the new rear bumper I've been working on for my 4runner. It's 11 gauge and really not too heavy. I'll build a tire carrier for it, when I have time, but the pivot/ hinge is already in.
