What do you use to air down? Depress the valve core with something pointy? Remove the core and count to 10? Do you have one of the fancy tools that removes the core and has a gauge?
We’ve tried them all and found the @coyoteenterprises tire deflators to be the best for our needs.
We drop both the fronts and rears 10psi from their highway pressure. As quickly as you unthread the dust cap and thread on the deflator you know it’s at the right pressure. Pull the valve stem and as you drive away it deflates to your preset pressure.
No guess work, no counting, no threading the core back in as air is coming out.

Wheels & Tires: The Balancing Act 🛞⚙️
Choosing the right wheels and tires for overlanding is about more than just specs—it’s about strength, performance, and reliability. These @alcoa forged aluminum rims (3,750 lb rating) paired with @coopertire Discoverer AT3 XLTs (3,860 lb rating and 3-peak snow rating) strike that perfect balance. 💪🌍

🔧🌍 DIY Dana 60 4x4 Overland Swap 🌍🔧
Tackling the trails, one upgrade at a time. We custom-machined ABS onto the hubs, dropped in 5.38 gearing for better torque on those long-haul overland journeys, and swapped in @yukongearandaxle Hardcore hubs with 35-spline chromoly shafts for extra durability. 💥🛠️
This build is all about strength and reliability for those off-grid adventures — built to handle whatever the road (or lack thereof) throws our way. 🌲🚙
Ready to take it to the next level. Where to next? 🗺️

We completed a full hub-to-hub teardown and rebuild on this vintage Dana 60 before installing it into our DIY expedition truck🔧. The axle fits seamlessly, offering the ideal width, strength, and necessary modifications 💪. The GM Dana 60 proved to be an excellent choice, simplifying the 4WD conversion with its precision fit and durability 🚙.

Friendly reminder for all the Isuzu NPR and Chevy LCF owners out there!
The factory lug nuts on your truck are stamped with an “R” or “L” to indicate the thread direction. 🙌 I’ll admit, I’ve always struggled with left vs. right threads—especially when it comes to tightening and loosening. I knew the driver’s side was reverse thread, and yet... I still managed to break an extension in the process. 😅
All the more reason to swap these axles for a 4x4 setup!!! 🚗💥 Like and follow for more 4WD swap content and mechanic confessions! 😎
