jim, next time you're in the area check out my system. 10# tank, dual head reg, and hose all for under $200.

As you come out of High Head at Rt 6 there is a Citgo (sp?) with an air hose, and the old Sonny's (now Lower Cape Auto) also has air. The new owner of Sonny's is good enough to leave his hose out at night; the Citgo pulls its one in at closing.

I'm with Bob - I air down in April and don't air up again until November. Don't drive fast, do not turn hard.

BTW, note piemma's comment about 8 PSI. I think I'm the only one left that airs down that much. 2WD the whole beach hills and all.

Woo Woo And i thought i was the last dinosaur airing down to 8lbs and in August maybe even less.
I still have an old Shurader spark plug air pump. The kind that you take out a spark plug and blow up your tires. I still remember burning my hands to change from spark plug to air fitting.

I still drop to 8 in my wrangler.Also carry two 20# tanks from Sears.Fills all 4 tires to 35# then just load'm up again.The f250 would go to 11# and the same two tanks would fill them to 25-28#s."saved" a few people on the beach[including myself] over the years with those tanks.

Air down to 8PSI and never had a problem. Glad to see there are still some guys who share this philosophy. You run 12 or more and that's where all the ruts on the big hill in the Back came from.
