tire deflators
Looking for tire inflators/deflators or the quickest way to get this done without being a major PIA. DO you guys take a huge compressor with you, what types of deflators do you use and how long does it take? I have 37.5 toyos which I deflate to 20 psi when going in the sand and need to inflate to 50 psi when back on the streets.
Here are some cool links:

I wouldnt mind paying the $120+ for the auto inflator but wanted to see if any of you guys had experience with it or anything else?

Re: tire deflators
I had the Stuuns and now use the ARB Tire Deflator. IMO it's by far the best I've used!
Here is a link to a You Tube Vid of someone using it.

Re: tire deflators
It would seem the Stuuns seem much easier to use. In the video it took him a minute to deflate the tire 13 psi. That would take 4 minutes for all tires , plus the PIA of kneeling in the mud or dirt while doing it. I have 37" Toyos, which I deflate from 50 psi to 20 psi , I am assuming with the device it would take 2 minutes per tire. With the Stunns you can walk around, screw them on and walk away and it should be done in 5 minutes for all 4?
What am I missing?

Re: tire deflators
You are missing that the ARB or Currie units allow for dynamic accurate deflation and measurements to any air pressure where the stauns are pre-set. Granted 20 psi is a good all-around setting, every type of terrain and tire combination has an optimal psi that works best. You just don't get that level of adjustability with the Stauns - period.
With the ARB, I can head out on the trail and if I need to tackle something radical, I take out my ARB and adjust from 20psi down to 6-8psi. I run beadlocks, so all psi settings are an option.
Also, after airing down with the ARB usnit, I know exactly what psi I am at. With the Stauns, I am always second guessing if they got bumped and out of adjustment or someone I let use them took them off incorrectly and inadvertantly changed their settings.
The ARB/Currie unit just makes the most sense to me

Re: tire deflators
How about re-inflating to get back on the highway?
