Easy Methods to Air Down & Air Back Up

Рет қаралды 7,332

Күн бұрын

In this video we share a few methods of how to #airdown your tires before you hit the #offroad trails and on an #overlandadventure. We also share a great and efficient way to #airup before hitting the pavement.
Like everything else about off-roading, it just depends on what you’re running, what you’re doing. How much you air down will depend on your tires and many other things, so you may have to use trial and error until you get a feel for how it works. Done the right way airing down can definitely give you an advantage over driving on your fully-inflated off-road tires and make your journey more comfortable.

Nice detailed video, I have several tools to air down with and they all take to long in my opinion. Using the code you offered I just ordered the 4 DZdeflators. Look forward to trying them. I also use the tire pressure display in my rig as a final piece of mind. Please keep the videos coming! 👍😎

We think that might be one reason people don’t air down is the amount of time it takes. You will like it, makes it easier for sure! 👊🏼 Ready for the next adventure!

This was great. And a little odd. It's like you were reading my mind. Believe it was Sunday that I said wonder why I haven't seen anything from Open Road 4Two about airing up and down. Maybe I should go look at their older vids and see if I missed it. We were in a quandary about what air compressor to get. We did finally settle on one. Supposed to be getting it today. I'm sure we'll have video on it at some point. Then we were talking about deflating and how we could do it without buying the fancy tool stuff (Jessie's a tighwad, remember lol) and damaging something. Well now I know. You answered that for me. Great informative video, guys. I really do appreciate it. These types of videos are amazing when a person like me are in search of answers! Thank you!!

Bill has always deflated and inflated for on and off roading. I understood why, but didn't realize there were so many ways to do the job. Like the balloon analogy as to why you do it. Yeah, we like the ones that deflate them all at once. VIAIR is a good product. Really good tips. Thanks.

Shoot. I currently install CTIS on trailers (enclosed 7500 lbs). If you don't know what is CTIS it stands for Central Tire Inflation System. Ofcourse that my design only inflates the tires to maintain pressure even if 3 tires have a nail, but addind a exhaust solenoid and removing the stem core valves will allow to inflate and deflate on demad without ever getting out of the vehicle.... I have to think on making a kit for offroading since is everyones problem I guess.. Greetings...

The CTIS system sounds really cool. Interested to see what you come up for an off-roading kit.

@UniqueAdventurez 2 жыл бұрын

Some pretty awesome products there. We did notice some traction issues and some pretty bumpy ride on a couple Forrest service roads and I think this is key. The fast inflate would be a clutch as then you have easy and even air distribution. And when we get a compressor , we already know we will be going with a Viair. How long first it take to air back up all 4 tires ?

@OpenRoad4Two 2 жыл бұрын

Right on! Airing back up with the FasterFlate was completed approx. in 5 minutes or so. Depends on how much you air up. We have 33's on the Tacoma and we usually inflate to 32.

I have been thinking about the EZdeflator but have not done so yet as I have the ARB version of the core remover and use that. Do you leave the EZdeflator on while driving or replace it with the normal cap once they are aired down? Thanks for the video.

We really love the ease of the product. We remove the deflators and replace with the normal cap (when they are not MIA 🤣) these deflators really does make airing down easy.

Here's a question. Moving from one trail to another, what's a good rule of thumb for airing up if you're just going to get another trail a few miles away via asphalt highway??

@OpenRoad4Two 11 ай бұрын

We’ve done it both ways, rolling down the road without airing up and with airing back up. For us, it depends on how big our group is and how heavily traveled the road and what’s the speed limit. Are we going to cause traffic/road hazards if we roll slowly to our next destination? Anything above 45mph and/or heavily traveled we will partially air back up.

@joelparish3851 2 жыл бұрын

Went to check out the compressor this morning from their link and it took me to a Viair 88p for $89.00. Went back this afternoon and it takes me to a kit for over $200?

@OpenRoad4Two 2 жыл бұрын

The link in the description is for the Viair 400P compressor, which will air up to 35. The 88P is a smaller version, which they advertise will air up to a 33, we actually have and utilized both. We keep the 88P as a backup. However, the 400P is a model that is compatible with our FasterFlate inflation/deflation kit and it is $200+. There are many different products to choose from, we feature what works for us and what we have actually tested and utilize.

How far is it safe to drive on the paved roads before airing back up ?? Thanks

@OpenRoad4Two 10 ай бұрын

Hi! Thanks for watching and to answer your question, in our opinion, it is not so much about the distance as it is the speed. Depends on how low you go. The longest we’ve gone is 4 to 5 miles at about 18psi and 45-50mph max. Anything further or at higher speed and we would have air back up.”

What psi do I need to drive on the sand?

@OpenRoad4Two Жыл бұрын

There are many factors that go into answering that question. Variables include the type of vehicle you drive, how heavy it is, and how soft the sand is. With that said, the lower you go, the better traction you will have. However, the greater the chance of loosing your tire bead. We typically run in the range of 18 to 20psi, that's our comfort zone. If/when you get stuck, you can always lower your pressure more to increase your traction.
