| 0:00.0 | I am here on time in part thanks to a product that I never thought I would use before a rapid tire deflater. |
| 0:10.0 | Isn't that just called a knife? |
| 0:11.0 | Yeah, right. |
| 0:12.0 | I think a knife is the most rapid tire deflater, but unfortunately that makes it difficult to use the tire afterwards. |
| 0:20.0 | I first got this when I first started driving on the beach because you're supposed to air down your tires down to like the 20 psi ish range when you drive it on the sand here to keep yourself from getting stuck but to keep yourself from tearing up the beach too much unnecessarily and tearing up the some of the routes. |
| 0:37.0 | Oh, I just realized that I've been thinking about this. |
| 0:39.0 | It sucks, doesn't it? |
| 0:41.0 | No. |
| 0:43.0 | No, because that's the only way it could work right gone gone. So anyway, so I frequently have to change my tire pressure in both directions between like 20 ish and like you know 40 ish PS highly if I'm going on a long highway drive. |
| 0:56.0 | I want to put it up to about 40 just for additional rigidity and safety and a little bit of efficiency. |
| 1:01.0 | Although it's a giant box like it's not going to be that efficient, but you know how did you land on 40? |
| 1:07.0 | It will the car wants me to do 50 and I think that's dumb so I get I get impatient and stop. |
| 1:12.0 | No way it wants 50 pounds is that what it says on the door jam. Thank you John. |
| 1:17.0 | I think it says 45 or 48 on the door jam. No way is this a case where Casey asked to Google for the PDF of your car manual. |
| 1:25.0 | Yes either way. |
| 1:27.0 | What gives your car it's a Land Rover defender what 2021 I will solve this okay so and it has it like the one that happened to be on the dealer lot in the color. |
| 1:36.0 | I wanted has this optional accessory of an onboard inflator deflator thing which is really fun. |
| 1:41.0 | It's in the trunk and you know come to the big hose you reach all four tires. So it's fun. It's just slow. |
| 1:46.0 | And so I haven't found a rapid tire inflator yet besides you know I don't know bomb but but a rapid tire deflator is this thing that it's it's again I'll put it in the show notes when I find the link and dig it up. |
| 1:58.0 | But it's just weird little contraption that normally if you want to deflate it higher quickly you can just you can do you know a compressor that just kind of like holds the valve in and you know let's air out or you can like poke the valve stem with you know a coin or a key or something if you want to do it that way. |
| 2:13.0 | But what this thing does is it screws on to the to the valve you know stem thing and then there's an inner thing that you twist once it's on once it's screwed on to the valve. |
| 2:26.0 | You twist this inner thing the opposite direction and it unscrews the inner valve stem and let's it pop out inside of itself and then you just like pop a thing and it just |
