Re: Trouble airing back up? TPMS info inside!
I thought about on-board air, but decided this was better for me and thought I'd share what I found with anyone else looking for an easy solution.
All the places I've ever wheeled have had free or cheap air close by, and that's counting the middle of the Michigan UP. It'd be nice to have on-board air, that's for sure. But I just can't justify it, especially mounting a compressor into a leased vehicle. And I can't sacrifice the room for a large air tank either I don't think. Half of my cargo area is already full with tools and recovery equipment. I need to have room for camping gear and a cooler too on trips.
The longer valve stems are only 1/4" longer, just enough to fit the angled chuck without bottoming out against the rim. They won't be any more prone to being damaged than the stockers, especially considering the angle they come out of the rim at. At worst, they'll be 1/8" closer to the offensive object. I think this will work out the best for me. Thanks for lookin out though!

Re: Trouble airing back up? TPMS info inside!
I got a small one that fits in the rear cubby area for 79 buks at recovery.com or something, I have to use it eveytime. almost no gas stations offer or have functioning air compressors in this area. Look for one that posts inflaction times I can air up all for from 20 to 30 in aobut 12-15 minutes.

I'd like portable compressor (or hose extension) with a low profile chuck.

Those rims look pretty sweet. Can you post a full pic? Haven't seen them mounted on a rig yet?
