  1. Good solid, long lasting ATV’s - keep us posted!
  2. When I say CO2 tank I am talking about a 20oz paintball tank, not the little silver puncture once canisters used for bicycles and pellet guns. The 20oz tanks will fill several large tires from 0 psi without issue. Topping off a few pounds on ATV tires wont be an issue at all. Also if you hold your tire pressure around 4-5psi on an ATV you will be fine 99% of the time without having to air up or down. We normally run VERY far off the beaten path and can’t say I ever worry about changing the tire pressure. We went 40 miles out this weekend and ran rocks to mud (and a little blacktop to get to the trail) and never changed pressures in any tire on any of the machines. Normally airing down is a 4x4 truck/Jeep/etc thing - you are starting from a road where the tire is at 32 psi and when you go to the trail you drop down to say, 10PSI or whatever you want. Then when you hit the pavement again you go back up to 32. On an ATV you should already be at 4-6 so there really is not much room to air down and if you do, you will want beadlock rims or your asking for issues. Hope this helps.
  3. ARB also makes onboard air systems for trucks and Jeeps. I have one on my Jeep, and it works great, but it would take up some room on an ATV and you mostly don't use onboard air all that much. I personally run a compressed air tank on both my ATV and my SxS and keep a cheap SLIME compressor in the SxS box just in case we have a bunch of problems with several machines on a longer ride. It honestly is overkill, but as they say, better to have and not need than need and not have....
  4. We used a SLIME compressor today to air up a 31” tire that we punctured on the trail on the SxS - worked surprisingly well.
