Hey Ben I have a 2001 XJ and was wondering how well does your hood vents from hyline off-road work and mine is a daily driver but tends to get warm in the summer here in Indiana and was just wondering if I would encounter any problems when driving in the rain?
Of course we're using Monster Valves on our own rigs but before we developed them, we always had a set of Trailhead Deflators. They work similarly to the JT Brooks but the set screw is recessed making it harder to knock out of adjustment. They may take longer to air down than pulling the valve core but there's less "knee time" spent at each tire which means we have time to prep other gear or check out other rigs.
When I’m looking for Jeep videos I always try and see if you don’t have something relevant to what I’m looking for because you’re always one of the more detailed ppl on here. Thank you for making videos, they help!
I been using these on 37-13.5 for last 13 years 15 inch steel wheel 8-9psi I set them screw them on I pull them off few mins into my run. Simple BILLET4X4 TRAILHEAD Tire Deflators great product.
Currently i am deflating old school with the back of my tire gauge. I bring them down to about 12 without bead locks. lol I just got my 2009 JKU Rubicon. your videos have been awesome i have learned a lot keep them coming!
My 20 year old grandson just bought his first jeep. We are now a 3 Jeep family. This would be a great addition to his wheeling kit. Personally I have a system where I have 2 1/4 hoses connected to a 3 way manifold where I can air down 2 tires at once and monitor the air flow with a pressure gauge on the manifold. Air up the same way 2 tires at once using my onboard air system. Running Cooper A/Ts and normallly run 20psi.
I use Trailhead brand deflators. They use a small allen wrench to set pressure. I put the on one a time and watched my TPS gauge as the pressure got near where I wanted it I just screwed the allen in to stop deflating. From then on screw all 4 on and let them go. They work very well.
I have been doing my tire air downs the old fashion way with that first tire gauge you demonstrated, very slow, but accurate. I would love winning the “Currie EZ Tire Deflator”. It looks way easier and faster to deflate my tires as to the old fashion way. Another great video. Keep them coming. Thanks
Been off roading since the 70's with both 4x2 & 4x4 ... nobody ever aired down back then, ... still went all over hell in the hills. Today I still don't bother with it and still get to all the cool outback place without spinning out like crazy, wrecking tires, being left behind, etc. Do what works for you but it always makes me wonder why everyone is airing down the moment they leave the pavement🤔. Yes, it does give extra traction however I have yet to really ever 'need' that extra traction unless rock crawling. Just 'drive' guys!
New to this, just use my key for now. Just got our 2001 TJ around Thanksgiving. It’s stock 4.0 with 31’s. Exploring Arizona. The Superstition Mts and Sedona. So beautiful.
We are moving soon close to the beach and will be getting our OSV permits to spend our weekends on the beach. This would be awesome to have and something we actually need. Thanks love all your videos
I use terafrex tire deflators they work pretty well. I put one on gradually walk around the jeep and install all 4 wait a min maybe 2 and the first one is down to 15ish and i walk around the jeep and remove the rest easy quick
I have a Currie EZ Deflator and I have been very happy with it. I have some of the Auto Deflators also but they don't always seem to deflate at the same pressure each time I use them.
Great comparison video! I use the Currie and absolutely love it but am considering the JT Brooks Pro. Saving time airing down is priceless in my opinion. Keep the videos coming!
I've been using my regular car air pressure gage my dad gave me when I first learned to drive. This is a great video helping me learn the differences, thanks!
Great video! I use a four-hose system on my primary valves all attached to a calibrated SI analog gauge that’s mounted under my driver side hinged cowl. My backup is a Trailhead red set. I occasionally throw those on the secondary valves and just hit the trails.
I use a valve stem tool right now and just pull them out completely and put it back in when it’s about right then gauge it if I need another psi or two. The ones you didn’t mention are what I wanna upgrade to an that’s the 4 tire system with the valve release.
Dude I was just wondering about this the other day. I bought a 2016 Jeep Wrangler and haven't really had time to to it off road much. It sucks cuz I work to much, but I've decked out the jeep with the extra money... Well keep the videos coming man I've been watching several a week since Christmas when I found your channel!! ✌
Awesome videos. No beadlocks here running 40” toyo open country m/t, try to go around 15psi by pulling the valve core out , then use a manual gauge and screwdriver to fine tune lol
Good video. I’ve not heard about the monster valve before. Currently I use a screw on hose section with a 60 psi gauge & ball valve before a quick disconnect male fitting for venting. Quick connect to my air line let’s me use the same setup fir airing up.
I used the ARB deflators very similar to Currie deflators. Almost identical as if Currie bought the design or something. Its nice knowing where your pressure is at while deflating but one tire at a time is slow. Keep up the good work!
Good video. Deflators have come a long way from the day I used to remove the core and check the air every now and then and then screw it back in. Keep up the nice work
I have the Staun tire deflators, much like the JT Brooks, they are slow. I found them to be somewhat inaccurate as they don't always stop at the preset pressure. I made my own dual tire deflator/inflator using 2 Haltec H-5265 air chucks $12 each, a Harbor Freight 3-Way Industrial Quick Coupling Manifold $14, a 0-100 psi ari gauge $16, Harbor Freight 3/8 Ball Valve $4 and some miscellaneous barb fittings, hose clamps and Harbor Freight 3/8 in. x 25 ft. PVC/Rubber Hybrid Air Hose $20. About $80 total. Works great, fast and keeps the left and right tire pressures dead even. I have seen the 4 tire versions, but it seems like a tangled mess, so I made mine with only 2 air chucks. More expensive but does double duty.
That dual setup sounds awsome! Ben...you build one and do this in one of your vids. Doing 2 tires at the same time without a big tangled mess sounds great!
I did the same thing but do all four at one time. I also have a built in gauge to the manifold along with a ball valve to let the air out or in at the same time. All tires get exactly the same amount of air by equalizing pressure in the system. Very fast way of airing down or up.
my husband uses the ones he got with his smittybilt compressor. but i know they dont work well cause he only uses 2 instead of the 4. this he would love. thx, he has likes your videos and this one was helpful
While I'm at the dealership I work at, I see the JT Brooks stem deflaters and wondered how they compared to our bluepoint air gauges that deflate stupid fast, on the 2500 trucks we can deflate an 85 psi tire to 10 in less than 30 seconds.
Just bought my first Jeep Wrangler and trying to compile everything i need to go wheeling. I enjoy watching your videos and they inspire me to try some of your upgrades as well. Keep on wheeling!!
I would like to get a JTBrooks but honestly I like the involvement of a process in your car cuz it allows you to understand your car more and more when you do stuff yourself
Been looking at getting a jeep, but have to save up first... not quite willing to give up my Camaro yet. Love watching the videos because I can vicariously live until I actually get a jeep.
Great video! I'm actually shopping around now for deflators because crouching at every tire with a pressure gauge sux! I typically air down to 20psi and then go lower if needed
I currently use the Smittybilt R.A.D. RAPID AIR DEFLATOR. Super bang for the buck, very simple and fast. I normally air down to 15PSI on my 35” Pro-Comp MT2’s
I was looking at ordering the new Currie digital purely for the length of the deflator arm. The normal deflator is really hard to get turned and on the stems with my large Trail Ready beadlock rings. I don't need to be entered btw, I have 2 of those normal ones already lol.
I run some 33x12.50x15 MTR/Ks without bead locks on my 98 ZJ. I usually air down to 9-11 psi for staying on top of loose sand and rock crawling. Haven't broken a bead yet. I use the currie ez deflator. You get used to it quickly.
Great Vid, I'm new to offroading and at the suggestion of the group, I air down to 22 psi. I now know better and air down to 15-17 psi, depending on the rockiness of the trail. I drive a 98 xj with 33x11.5 tires. I have the teraflex keychain deflators and was looking for a more enlightened path :0)
My lady an I roll our XJ’s at 10psi no beadlocks anytime we’re wheeling an have never had a bead fail rock crawling. I have 33x12.5 an my lady has 35x12.5
Those JT Brooks deflators are exactly like the barricade deflators I have. The barricade ones are $30 on extreme terrain. Although the JT Brooks pros are pretty sweet because you can actually see the number which is cool
Enjoyed your video on the tire Deflators. I've been a subscriber for a bit and enjoy seeing what topics you're thinking about. I'm currently building my off road supply kit and could use one of the tire deflectors. Keep up the good work.
I currently have a home made air up air down tire system that connects to all 4 tires at the same time. I run AEV bead locks and I air done to 8psi. My air down set up is awesome but set up is a pain. Would love a quicker way to air down. Happy New Years!!!!
Love the JTbrooks pro's, although i havnt used them on my jeep seeing as we dont really have rocks here in East TX so my 28psi does fine for the mud and trails but I do use them ALOT on my quad for mud ride to easily set tires to 5psi, great over view on other products too keep it up bud
I have one of the $20 amazon EZ deflator ones that I have been using for the past 2 years. It works, but the gauge is off by about 3psi from any other gauge I use. At least it's consistently wrong, so I just aim accordingly. On the trail I run 12psi with no doors/no top/day gear, and 16psi with doors/top/ multi day gear. Sometimes terrain dictates otherwise.
The free option works just fine, it’s more of convenience to use a valve stem removal things. I do all 4 of mine from 38psi to 18/20psi the same speed as my buddy with a boulder dynamics or whatever the name is valve stem remover thing
Hey Ben, I have both the ARB (basically the same thing as the currie EZ deflator) and the staun deflators, my theory goes like this, if I'm with a group, I like to check out the other rigs so I use the stauns and walk away check out some other rigs and talk with folks, if I'm alone or with just 1 other rig, I'll use my ARB EZ deflator cause it's way faster and rather get on with exploring.
Love the automatic tire deflators. I have the Stauns. Pretty much the same but I want to get the JT pros. Entering the giveaway too of course. My XJ needs a deflator. So why not. Thanks for all your videos. Nice work
Great video. Didn't think there was thst many ways to deflate.. I deflate my Baja Claws with a nail it a stick I find on the trail so a real deflator would be awesome
This video was really helpful. Not sure I had seen one like this before. I have the ARB like your giveaway but in digital. Works great and is pretty quick.
Smartest thing I've seen for deflate/inflate stuff is two valve stems on the KMC Machete beadlocks. One for compressor or deflate device, other for pressure gage. Works pretty damn well.
I am running 35s. I do not have beedlocks and I air down to 10 lbs. I use to have sun deflaters. some one broke into my jeep took all my camera gear and my set of sun deflaters. So for now I am back to a twig.
I live life on the edge lol no bead locks and I run 7-8 psi off road how I air down is use a valve stem puller I remove the valve stem for a little bit put it back in manually and then check the pressure with a gauge so on till I’m at 7-8 psi And when the tire pops off the bead on the trail i use the starter fluid to pop it back on
Thanks for the wonderful information!! I use R.A.D.S. Valve Stems. They are similar to the Monster Valves but instead install like a traditional valve stem. You can install in a second drilled(not tapped) hole in your wheel if you choose or just use the existing one. The deflation collar is easy to use and you just thread it open or closed and can release or check pressures. It is very fast and even though it becomes a single wheel at a time process I truly enjoy the speed and simplicity. Thanks again for the giveaway!!
RAD valves were nice but are no longer around as far as I know. BTW, Power Tank does make a new Monster Valve that does not require thread tapping and is much easier to install.
Looking forward to the tire repair on the trail video. Its something that hasn't happened to me yet but would like to see what some of those options are for repairing a tire on the trail. Cheers from Denver CO!
Ben, I'm looking to go wheeling for the first time and I definitely want to be able to air down. I picked up a 2012 JKU Sport and did some mods already. (A lot from your videos!)
Just got my own first rock Jeep would love to get this instead of using the one for my drag car it takes me forever to drop them to 15 let alone drop my 35 to 18.
Good info. Thanks. I run around 10-13 on 33's and doing well. I do like the auto deflate. I could be doing other things to get on the trail while those are deflating. Happy trails, and keep the rubber side down. 😉
Now one that i do i made a custom air hose that hooks to all 4 tires at the same time and its got a digital pressure gauge and to air down just turn a ball valve and to air up just hook it to my onboard air system

just got a jeep, looking for a first experience. every prep says to air-down, so here I am looking at the options. Thanks for your contribution
Glad I can help. Hope you subscribe to the channel! I do all kinds of videos that help out a ton for first time jeep owners!
I air down with an old school tire pressure gauge. Takes forever.. Glad you covered some different options

Since I don't have beadlocks, I air down to about 16-17 psi. Keep doing what you're doing
Haven’t aired down yet but would like to soon once I get a air compressor to air them back up when done so I can safely get home!
Austin Bryant google “power tank diy”. Just went with a similar set up and am ready to hit the trails!
I usually go down to 20 but I've been down as far as 13 with no problems yet. Takes a while with my regular ol tire gauge.
I would like to get a JTBrooks but honestly I like the involvement of a process in your car cuz it allows you to understand your car more and more when you do stuff yourself

Used grit performance air downs kinda like the jt Brooks but u have to set them yourself! And never stay set seem to have to reset them constantly
New to the game.. invested a bunch of money... getting ready to really go off roading other than mudding!! Love the vid
I currently use the Smittybilt R.A.D. RAPID AIR DEFLATOR. Super bang for the buck, very simple and fast. I normally air down to 15PSI on my 35” Pro-Comp MT2’s
I’ve been using the rugged ridge deflators to take my non beadlocks down to 15 psi.
I air down to around 15 to 18 and have been trying to figure out a faster way. Thanks for the video!
Currently using old school valve core tool or tire gauge to air down 33" KO2's on my JL
Nice video! I have the trailhead defaltors and my kids call them the geesers b/c of the noise they make when they air down.
I have a cheap one you pull the valve stem with. Works well. I’d love some jt brooks
I was looking at ordering the new Currie digital purely for the length of the deflator arm. The normal deflator is really hard to get turned and on the stems with my large Trail Ready beadlock rings. I don't need to be entered btw, I have 2 of those normal ones already lol.
Thanks for this video on airing down i have 35/12.50/10 no bedlocks and I did not know how low to air down, thank you
35/12.50/18
I air down with the Teraflex tire deflators and have no complaints!
They are good! I used them for the past two years!
I run some 33x12.50x15 MTR/Ks without bead locks on my 98 ZJ. I usually air down to 9-11 psi for staying on top of loose sand and rock crawling. Haven't broken a bead yet.
I use the currie ez deflator. You get used to it quickly.
Great Vid, I'm new to offroading and at the suggestion of the group, I air down to 22 psi. I now know better and air down to 15-17 psi, depending on the rockiness of the trail. I drive a 98 xj with 33x11.5 tires. I have the teraflex keychain deflators and was looking for a more enlightened path :0)
My lady an I roll our XJ’s at 10psi no beadlocks anytime we’re wheeling an have never had a bead fail rock crawling. I have 33x12.5 an my lady has 35x12.5
I use a cheap amazon knockoff of the JT Brooks. Not on beadlocks so the time it takes to go down to 18psi(my normal off road pressure) isnt too bad.
Haven't aired down yet. Just bought a JKU, only got it dirty 3 times so far.
I have non-beadlocks and run down to 10 psi but I have 16" tires that are load range E so they are stiff sidewalls.
Those JT Brooks deflators are exactly like the barricade deflators I have. The barricade ones are $30 on extreme terrain. Although the JT Brooks pros are pretty sweet because you can actually see the number which is cool
Enjoyed your video on the tire Deflators. I've been a subscriber for a bit and enjoy seeing what topics you're thinking about. I'm currently building my off road supply kit and could use one of the tire deflectors. Keep up the good work.
old school air down to 18psi non beadlocks. beadlocks in future would love the new airdown gauge
I currently have a home made air up air down tire system that connects to all 4 tires at the same time. I run AEV bead locks and I air done to 8psi. My air down set up is awesome but set up is a pain. Would love a quicker way to air down. Happy New Years!!!!
Love the JTbrooks pro's, although i havnt used them on my jeep seeing as we dont really have rocks here in East TX so my 28psi does fine for the mud and trails but I do use them ALOT on my quad for mud ride to easily set tires to 5psi, great over view on other products too keep it up bud
Excited to see what comes in 2019 with your channel. Hope the jeep is running smoothly now with the new ECM
Thank you! And running good! Was going to make a video but honestly it was just plug and scan lol
I've been looking at the Curries. I don't have much of a need to air down a bunch but would love to pick up a free Currie.
I actually run negative air on my bead locks, I just pull the core on the valve stem and leave them out.
😂, you should hook up a vacuum and suck the air out even more
I currently use a pistol style inflator with guage... unhook compressor and use opposite of airing up
I have one of the $20 amazon EZ deflator ones that I have been using for the past 2 years. It works, but the gauge is off by about 3psi from any other gauge I use. At least it's consistently wrong, so I just aim accordingly. On the trail I run 12psi with no doors/no top/day gear, and 16psi with doors/top/ multi day gear. Sometimes terrain dictates otherwise.
I just use a normal pressure gauge it takes forever but it works, I would love to have a nicer one
The free option works just fine, it’s more of convenience to use a valve stem removal things. I do all 4 of mine from 38psi to 18/20psi the same speed as my buddy with a boulder dynamics or whatever the name is valve stem remover thing
Don’t really air down much myself since I only have the first method you showed, with the passenger calling out the TPMS
Hey Ben, I have both the ARB (basically the same thing as the currie EZ deflator) and the staun deflators, my theory goes like this, if I'm with a group, I like to check out the other rigs so I use the stauns and walk away check out some other rigs and talk with folks, if I'm alone or with just 1 other rig, I'll use my ARB EZ deflator cause it's way faster and rather get on with exploring.
Just getting back into wheeling, took your advice on the JL hood latches and ordered a set. Great videos and thanks for making them!
Thanks for the info. Tons of options, and Currie makes good stuff. Its rad you're having a give a way. Let em go, and then put her in 4low.
Awesome video, I never aired down before, because I never knew what psi to run with. This is a great help,
i like the idea of a manifold set up. that way you can air down/up all tires at the same time
Love the automatic tire deflators. I have the Stauns. Pretty much the same but I want to get the JT pros. Entering the giveaway too of course. My XJ needs a deflator. So why not. Thanks for all your videos. Nice work
Awesome info on what to buy, options wise. Of course I need to see a video of what you use to inflate back up.
Great video. Didn't think there was thst many ways to deflate.. I deflate my Baja Claws with a nail it a stick I find on the trail so a real deflator would be awesome
This video was really helpful. Not sure I had seen one like this before. I have the ARB like your giveaway but in digital. Works great and is pretty quick.
I use a valve stem remover it’s a pain in the ass but kind of fun too.
I air down to 12psi and I just pull my valve core and check with a digital gauge till it’s correct.
Good video. I air down to 15 psi if there is air available since I do not have my own compressor yet. I'm still deciding on which ARB to run with.
This is a great giveaway! My kids and I are new to offroading. We currently use a standard tire guage. This would be a time saver!
Smartest thing I've seen for deflate/inflate stuff is two valve stems on the KMC Machete beadlocks. One for compressor or deflate device, other for pressure gage. Works pretty damn well.
I am running 35s. I do not have beedlocks and I air down to 10 lbs. I use to have sun deflaters. some one broke into my jeep took all my camera gear and my set of sun deflaters. So for now I am back to a twig.
I just started going off road so I don't air down. I also don't have an easy way to do it either, this would greatly help me with that problem!
I live life on the edge lol no bead locks and I run 7-8 psi off road how I air down is use a valve stem puller I remove the valve stem for a little bit put it back in manually and then check the pressure with a gauge so on till I’m at 7-8 psi And when the tire pops off the bead on the trail i use the starter fluid to pop it back on
Just bought my wife a Rubicon a couple months ago, this would be a nice add-on.
Great video. I use a the old school pen air gauge. It takes forever
Just stumbled across your channel and love it. I just purchased the teraflex deflators last week.
Thanks for the wonderful information!! I use R.A.D.S. Valve Stems. They are similar to the Monster Valves but instead install like a traditional valve stem. You can install in a second drilled(not tapped) hole in your wheel if you choose or just use the existing one. The deflation collar is easy to use and you just thread it open or closed and can release or check pressures. It is very fast and even though it becomes a single wheel at a time process I truly enjoy the speed and simplicity. Thanks again for the giveaway!!
RAD valves were nice but are no longer around as far as I know. BTW, Power Tank does make a new Monster Valve that does not require thread tapping and is much easier to install.
I currently air down with the standard pen style air gauge and I go down to 10 psi
Looking forward to the tire repair on the trail video. Its something that hasn't happened to me yet but would like to see what some of those options are for repairing a tire on the trail. Cheers from Denver CO!
Ben, I'm looking to go wheeling for the first time and I definitely want to be able to air down. I picked up a 2012 JKU Sport and did some mods already. (A lot from your videos!)
When it comes to airing down its not necessarily about time, its about accuracy and comfort (bending or kneeling down)
I need some of that Currie love! Right now it is just a key tip and a digital gauge.
I’ve been using a cheapo Amazon one, not great but it gets the job done.
I air down to 17psi. Love the video! I also use the pen style deflator to air down.
Just got my own first rock Jeep would love to get this instead of using the one for my drag car it takes me forever to drop them to 15 let alone drop my 35 to 18.
Good info. Thanks. I run around 10-13 on 33's and doing well. I do like the auto deflate. I could be doing other things to get on the trail while those are deflating.
Happy trails, and keep the rubber side down. 😉
No bead locks down to 12 and with bead locks about 4 with nitto trails Awesome job man
Silver Lake MI we air down to 8-10psi. Deflator a would make it easier on all 8 wheels👍
Now one that i do i made a custom air hose that hooks to all 4 tires at the same time and its got a digital pressure gauge and to air down just turn a ball valve and to air up just hook it to my onboard air system
I’m running on just 32s so I keep mine around 20psi. A Deflator would be handy
