    4 tire inflation system

    One of the things I dislike is airing down and airing up. I run about 50 psi in the fronts and 70 psi in the rears for highway driving. I usually air down to between 25-30 psi all around for dirt. I know I could get some Staun's but I haven't, and end up kneeling and adjusting each tire in...

    Hi from Albuquerque

    I'm new to the Forum and new to overlanding in general. We camped and I guess we overlanded a lot in our old VW bus when we were kids. I remember taking the dirt road along the river from Grand Junction to Moab and camping at Arches National Monument. But then college bicycle racing and work...
