    New Tacoma Trailhunter - What does this mean for 4Runner?

    I expect the same engine/hybrid suspension, transmissions minus the manual. This is based on reading the face of the tech I was asking the questions to while he said no comment but face suggested yes.

    A good tool to quickly air down your tires that wont break the bank.

    So 30 seconds to air down, 30 minutes to air up, 60:1 ratio - that is my point. Again my point was not about speed, but the video guy focused on the easy part of the problem, not the hard, more costly, time consuming part. I use an ARB Twin Compressor with a 4:1 kit. It is about 6:1.

    A good tool to quickly air down your tires that wont break the bank.

    Airing down is fast and easy. Airing back up is more time consuming and work.
