Which automatic Tire deflator should I get?

[mjp2]

Air Chuck x 4 on the valve stems. Take your time putting on each tire, plenty of time to take them off while watching the tpms on the big dash screen in 4L.

cheaper option, no need to “dial in”.

This is the right answer. I've used Stauns, Tire Buddies, and knock-offs over the years with other vehicles, but the Bronco dash showing the exact pressure per tire made the whole process so much easier and more accurate.

I carry SKOG Chuck Mates "speed clips" (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09LZYPCNW) with me with nothing attached to them. There's no airflow restriction so they air down faster.

It takes only a moment to connect to each valve stem, and then I stand at the driver's window talking to my passengers while watching the PSI numbers drop on the dash. Once tire #1 is where I want it, I walk around and remove each at the same pace I put them on so everything comes out equal.

The preset deflators are great for most vehicles, but the data on the dashboard made these things a great, fast, reliable option.

Fast…?

And el em aye oh yeah. Those deflators take so effin long it’s hilarious. Then homies with their four hose systems. After the second time using them they just throw it in the back. Gets all tangled up. Adds another five minutes just to get their knots undone

Fast for deflation. Was thinking about 4 of those (open flow) with the air valve adapter screwed on the ends. Just clamp them on and let them blow fast as they will allow. (With beadlocks, we're not worried about stopping at some exact pressure)

Then, for air up - I'd untangle "the rat's nest" and hook a hose to each locknflate.

Gotcha. The locknflate is faster than conventional valves. Especially with the apex valves. Wifey aired up a buddy's 40" tire with conventional valve stems and thought our compressor broke it took so long.

I was also looking at those, but was concerned about clearance issues. So no problems clearing the Apex RPV valves with the bead lock ring?

Did you get the standard length or the XL for your Sasquatch wheels with B locks?

I believe XL.

You’ll want to use a 4mm allen to take the caps off if you’re blessed with banana hands. But no clearance problems besides that. Beadlock protects them too

@Figmo mine are XL on the Sas rims. See pic earlier.

best deflator system on the market, good for many other things too

I don’t think there is an app for that…
Looks like it needs a lot of calibration too.

Easy to use. High quality construction. Precision adjustment.

Did not like how recessed even the XL version of these valves fit my true beadlock wheels. But I did come up with a solution....

I run the ARB Pressure control system and EZ-Flate 4-way chucks. No problems. Air down to my preset, air up to my preset. Done.

I have the same and have been using it for the last two or so years. Not cheap tho but great product

Yeah, I could see that. The only problem with the Staun's is that they are touchy if the barrel turns at all (so the markings on the Oversand looks a little optimistic), so it's hard to get set right (I even went and got a digital caliper) and screwing them on it can be easy to accidentally turn the barrel. The quick releases work good, though, for that. I may have been trying to be too precise, but they'd always be like 15/15/15/18 or 15/15/15/12 day of. So I just said screw it. I still use them, I just look at the dash.

Yes. I think what people are missing is that the dash monitor (TPMS) IS surprisingly accurate and registers quickly, so the dash can be used in real time to monitor & remove a deflator when it hits PSI. I leave mine set at 18 and usually take them off at 20, depending on the beach (NC & FL).
