I only air down on really tough terrain. I like the ride of the softer tires on rocky terrain. I don't have any GOOD pics yet, I will this summer though!

I'll have to check that out sometime. Sounds like a good buy, and requires no mods to the vehicle as far as running power and air hoses. Mine was a KostCo brand one for $20, got it from a buddy.

Yup, agreed. The one time I aired down was great, so mych better. No matter what brand tire you have, how good of a suspension set up. . . aired down tires feel great (better) on rocks than street PSI.

I had one of those (infact still have it) but it got so hot I thought it would catch on fire. I have since gone to an ARB compressor and it is a little cooler. I wanted OBA but didn't want to convert my A/C so I decided that a good 12v compressor would have to do for now.

Yea it gets hot but you'll only touch it once,then you learn and learning is half the battle. I have a small Black & Decker 110v and it gets fairly warm also.
