4×4 Accessories: A Good Tire Deflator
September 19th, 2008 by Justin
One of the accessories that every serious 4×4 enthusiast should have with them when they hit the trails, the beach or sand dunes is a good tire deflator. You probably all know that while driving on the road your tires should be properly inflated, on the dirt and especially on soft sand you get the best traction and drivability with deflated tires. While there is the extremely cheap and very easy way to deflate your tires (simply letting out the air via the valve), for those with some loose pocket change (we are not talking much here) will be much better off using a standardized method of deflating their tires- the good old tire deflator.
Several Varieties to Choose From
There are a few different types of tire deflators to choose from, the first are simple valves that fit on your standard tire valve that easily and effectively deflates the air, these are the cheapest and easiest to use, however the one downside is that you just don’t know how much air you are deflating, except by constantly checking it with an air gauge. The other more common type of tire deflators are those that include a valve, a hose and an easy to read gauge. These gauges usually are analog and include measuring deflation of the air by single psi units. Starting about $15 and rising to about $50, they are a great way to ensure that all tires are evenly deflated.
Finally, there are tire deflators that are part of a normal tire compressor, because let’s face it after a day in the sand; you will need to add air back into your tires to drive home. These items are usually the most expensive, but still they won’t break the bank. With a typical tire deflator, expect it take about 3 to 5 minutes to reduce a tire’s psi from about 32 psi to 10 psi. So for most it will take about 10 to 15 minutes to conveniently and safely deflate your tires for off roading. Some of the more popular tire deflation products include: Powertank Monster Valves, Oasis Trailhead Deflators, Currie EZ Deflator and TireBuddy.

September 5th, 2007 by Shenron
The Truck Stops of America are a collection of truck stops all around the United States of America. Simple, right? Essentially, truck stops are owned by companies that are involved in the trucking industry, just like anything else. Some are well known, and yet some are less known – an example of one well known but out of the way stop would be in a small ghost town in north east Nebraska where the town lodge has people driving eighty miles just to go there to stop and rest. There are literally hundreds of truck stops all along the United States, and pretty much where there’s a highway; there’s a truck stop. Now, Truck Stops of America provides all of the necessities a truck driver would ever need, whether he is driving a large or small rig. Every company of the truck stops in America guarantees the top quality in everything a stop would need, whether it be a small arcade for some fun, or a convenience store to grab some jerky and a soda. From AMBEST, a company with 140 full-facility stops all across the United States and Canada, to smaller truck stops like Sierra Sids, which is nestled down in Reno Sparks, Nevada which is all about Elvis.
Truck stops in America really are all about giving you what you pay for, and every American truck stop guarantees a fueling station and a parking spot to bed down in. Even those small family owned businesses are striving to spread their wings and give you the best service you’ve ever received because of the economy and the American dream. The truck stops of America really do mean quality, because they are literally everywhere; from one point of the US to the other, you can find a place to park your rig, or eat some great home-cooked style food, because at the truck stops of America, they realize that driving a truck can be dangerous business, and that certified truckers need to have a full night of rest to stay safe on the road – and in turn that after a day of driving a few can be right starved. So take your pick of the thousands of Truck Stops of America, and enjoy a well rested night of sleep without the risk of being woken up.
