    At the recommendation of Tone, I went and got some Trailhead auto deflators. Awesome!!!! I got the 15-40 psi set. I started out at 34lbs, and had them deflated to 18lbs in less than 10 minutes. I could have cut 3 or 4 minutes off of that, but I have TPMS sensors on the valve stems that have to be removed with a spanner wrench. That takes a few extra minutes, damn anti-theft...
    I will repost times with fillup once I get my CO2 tank filled. It took about 10 minutes more to refill them off of my big compressor in the garage.
    These are not a necessity, but I cannot imagine trying to airdown at the trailhead one tire at a time manually. These things were really accurate, all within .5 lbs each, and that was on first time, with just 1 turn adjustment.
    I highly recommend, Ebay, about 60bucks shipped.

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    In light of first real drive, I took mine out and got it stuck for the first time. Luckily, there was a friend with me, unluckily, he drives a jeep and had to pull me out. I buried the Vx above the frame in mud, all the way over the cladding on the passenger side, on the driver's side I could only see the top of my tire, I almost got out on my own, but had to keep it running since the tail pipe was under water/mud. It wasn't worth the risk.
    The AT2s did great, until they were mud bogged, but they cleaned out real quick and through really nice mud chunks
    The Vx performed flawlessly, its all about picking your lines, and I didn't pick right. But on the other holes, I made it through without a problem. My friend in the Jeep wouldn't even try some of them...chicken.
