Airing down tires on beadlock wheels

[bluemarlin25]

What’s the best tool to use to deflate tires on my RR that has the Ford beadlock wheels ?

hitting the beach and those itty bitty valve stems are hard to reach

I generally use a small strait blade screwdriver.
Back when I was 4-wheeling a lot I had 4 clamp on air chucks to make it quicker...

Those factory wheels are beadlock looking, but they aren't actually beadlocks.
(Beadlock wheels are actually illegal on the street.)
So, treat them the same as any regular wheel.

You can use tire deflators like these

(you can easily find these on Amazon)

Or just use some cheap valve extenders

There's a lot of them a available. Much cheaper than they used to be!

I have tried them all, by far these are the best.
They also act as an extender.

Thanks everyone

while my 67 year old body doesn’t want to spend a lot of time on the hot beach in South Padre Island Texas airing tires up and down

my 20 year old spirit child urges me to take the RR 15 miles down the beach

When we were down by Galveston I just had to. Wasn't much, but I got to drive on the beach. My wife just rolled her eyes...

Dad was stationed at Corpus when I was little. Went to 1st and 2nd grade there. Long ago...
Used to camp on Padre Island. Would have been 1966 or so... (I'm also 67...)
