Adjustable tire pressure relief valves?
I'm looking for who makes and or sells these. I've googled them, but can only seem to find the ones that are mounted directly to the rim. I'd like a set that screw onto the valve stem.
I used a set from a member on the July 2011 meet here in socal.
I guess I'm just lazy, but man's lazyness is a result of ingenuity!

I believe Staun is the brand best-known for deflators--just screw 'em on, and they drop to the preset level. They're kinda' pricey, but when you consider the hassle of doing it manually, it's worth it. No, I haven't got mine yet, but I intend to (too many other irons in the fire right now).

Well, thank you for your laziness, cause when I did a search your thread was at the top of the list. I knew it started with an "S" but do you think I could remember "Staun". Bob

You need to get your priorities straight.

I know, I know--thinking of stupid little things like food, gas, and whether my truck will blow its coolant when the temp goes above 70--how silly of me!

Thanks Bucknut,
I'll do a search for them on Google.

Hey KN, I went digging around some of the stores I keep on "favorites" to see if they had these, and came up with another alternative--the ARB EZ Tire deflator (ARB505). It's a tool that you screw onto the valve stem, and with the turn of a knob, it grabs and removes the valve core--when the included gauge reads what you want, simply reinsert the core with the tool. It sounds pretty sweet, and it's only $35 at Low Range Offroad. I went ahead and ordered one, plus one of ARB's large-dial pressure gauges that's specifically made for the lower pressures of offroad use. I'm not sure where I saw those Staun deflators, but I believe they run about $80 for a set of 4. Best of luck!

UPDATE: Found the Staun deflators on 4by4connection.com. They have some for $67 a set, and a different range of pressures for $77. I'll see how the ARB unit works for now--if it takes forever, I'll get the Stauns down the road.

So I googled the Staun deflators... Found them online at JeepSwag.com for $68.10 shipped.
How is that ARB unit working?

I haven't had to use it yet--haven't been wheeling a lot lately. It does look like a solid piece, not some "as seen on TV" plastic clunker. The valve core is never open to the outside--once it's screwed on, everything happens inside the unit. You use a plunger-like device to grab the core, unscrew it, and then you pull on the plunger to let out air, push in to take a reading--once the nice rubber-armored gauge reads what you want, you screw the core back in using the plunger. I think it's going to work well. I also got one of ARB's pressure gauges that's highly accurate at low pressures, and they weren't kidding about a large dial--this thing is huge! It all looks like quality stuff.
