Automatic Tire Deflators - recommendations?

[THAW]

I air down to precisely 12.3 psi and as the air temp or tire temp changes I stop and make adjustments throughout the day. Not sure why everybody seems to switch to a different GMRS channel and ditch me on the trail

No tenths on the EVIC TPMS display is a blessing for my sanity.

Agreed I have the Morrflate hoses for airing up and the Oversand deflators for airing down. Unless you need more practice threading on a deflator and don’t have them adjusted correctly there is no way they are more difficult or time consuming. You’re going to hook at least one thing up to all four tires with either system. The hoses add more steps. I also don’t see how one or the other forces you to kneel vs bend over.

I don’t bother double checking my air down pressure until we’re moving and I’ll look at the TPMS readout after a bit just to make sure something isn’t way off in PSI. If it’s off by a pound, it doesn’t matter to me. Ive had Staun, Coyotes and now Oversand and they have all been fine. The adjusting of the Oversand with reference marks makes the most sense to me. We‘re not double checking calculations on rocket trajectory here, just putting in and taking air out of tires,

Those https://over-sand.com/ deflators look compelling. My Stauns work, but setting them is painful and they're basically just in the right ballpark, which varies fairly significantly by trail.

Yeah I’ll give them a clean and keep them as a backup but I have become less tolerant of repeating having to mess with things and the process of adjusting the pressure is a pain that I don’t want to constantly do and I’m wanting to be able to adjust the pressure based on the terrain and conditions ie snow so I’ll give the over-sand a try. I was hoping that the folks at Epic would develop/fix ARB pressure adjustment option for the ARB brushless twin in the kraken as that would be my preferred way to go.

Ok another update just received the over-sand and out of the box all 4 hit 20 psi so I changed the settings down to 10psi and after found the they were about 1.5 to 2lbs off from the settings on the deflators and after a trial and error got them dialed in to 10psi on the dash on the Jeep.
I also cleaned the trailhead with some silicone wd40 and compressed air and that did the trick but I’ll keep them as a spare for others to use.
Once I get into some cold weather I’ll mess with changing the pressure on the over-sand and see how accurate they are at different pressures though the range but so far at the lower pressure they are a little off
