    Just aired down for the first time today in my new Rubicon that’s on 35” tires. It was magical! Like driving on pillows. Thanks for the help and tips!

    Hi Nena! Great channel/ first time viewer here! One more reason to air down your tires is to smooth out the washboarding on gravel roads. It’s magic.

    i concur. just bought my first jeep, midFeb. I have watched a lot of videos, most are about mods and showing installs, if educational. I just found Nena in a search for when and why to use JLUR lockers. I just continued watching her videos. Born to teach. Chick here. Impressive!

    I really enjoy the way you explain things. It's very helpful. I'm just getting into this hobby so that my wife and I can explore all that N AZ has to offer. I have to somehow justify all that $$$ I've sunk into my truck. :))) Thanks for taking the time.

    Hi Nena, great channel. So informative. Question, does your front bumper have slots for an rv towbar? If so what brand is it? Does it cone with the winch already attached?

    Dam, not many women know a lot about off-roading and jeeps. Thanks for the tips. I'm new to jeeps, but have been off roading with dirt bikes, ATC, and snow mobiles all my life.

    hi nena thx for great educational videos! im running RT tyres (somewhere inbetween AT and MT?) for 8000miles now and considering getting MT tyres this time. a bit worrying about noises on pavement. Usually how long distance you drive each time to go to your favourtie trail courses? Driving MT doesnt bother you much on that trip?

    I thank you for the valuable information. What would you recommend for airing up the tires as that would seem like a long process?

    How low would you go with that setup before you would be concerned about losing a bead? I’m running the same tires on a similar weight Jeep and I have never gone below 13 lbs.

    Sounds like you are pretty dialed in. But know that not all wheels are created equal! These are Method Racing Wheels Trail Series with Bead Grip. I will run these down to 10-11 psi where on this same Jeep with same tires but different wheels I would only go to 12-13. That doesn't sound like a lot but that little 20% and can make a big difference in soft sand or big chunky ledges. I am fairly conservative on tire pressure--I haven't tried single digits on these wheels to see where the de-bead point is, but I have debeaded tires on non-Method wheels at 12-13 when the Jeep was heavily loaded (gear and people) on the Rubicon Trail.

    So if you are in Moab running trails for a week, driving to and from trails that are a little farther out of town like Elephant Hill or Top of the World, would you air back up every day to make it back to town or just leave them aired down for the week?

    Doesnt airing down your tire also help to keep tearing up the terrain? I know technique is also a big part of that (not spinning tires). Very soft pillowy tires will roll over soft ground leaving minimal tracks.

    Squishing all four valve caps at the same time made me laugh out loud.
