Staun for the tire deflators, if you feel like spending some cash. Check this thread out for info on a couple of compressors. I'm planning on picking up the Costco one. My father-in-law uses the HF one and it works well enough for his skinny 32s.

I had a small electric one I got from amzon for 40$. It worked great and even filled up my 36's at a decent rate until it got damaged from my rollover. I'll have to remember the brand, it was red. I'll try Nd find it tonigt when I have real Internet and not just my iPhone.

I have the staun auto deflators and love them, the reaylly save my knees as I don't have to stay bent down to let the air out of my tires.

I have the cheap screw on deflators that come on a keychain. They work well enough. They just hold the valve down and you check the pressure and then unscrew em when you reached your pressure. I think they were like $12.

As for air I personally plan to go with a power tank or similar system.

yeah Taraflex deflators are cheap and work just fine.

I'm wondering about Air too.

I use some cheap air chucks from harbor freight as deflators. If you get the kind that have a retaining spring, you can attach and walk away, or walk around the Jeep to deflate multiple tires at a time.

Right now Im using whatever rock I can find next to my tire, and el cheapo tire pressure gauge that reads 0-120psi. Im pretty sure its off when you get down into the single digits.

I will be buying this at some point.

Ive tried the screw on Staun deflators, and I just get worried about not being next to a tire when its being deflated. But thats just me.

Thats why I got the stauns you can preset to whatever pressure you want. Screw them on, walk away, remove when no more air is coming out. Gives me time to disconnect my swaybar and eat breakfast while everyone else is still kneeling down waitig for their tires to go soft

This is the exact one I had, like I said it worked well with my 36's.

I really like the look of this one, but its pricey:
