Hey all! This is Tyler from Power Tank! We are a small family business based in the Sacramento Area of CA. Power Tank started in 1997 by my dad, Steve, before there were any good portable tire inflation products on the market. He put together a CO2 system from parts from a welding supply after ruining a set of brand new BFG mud tires from not being able to air himself up after a trail. He put an ad in a 4x4 magazine and it became a business! Fast forward 25+ years and we have been constantly improving the Power Tank while also adding more products to our lineup. The Power Tank remains the fastest and most reliable way to air up after a day on the trail, especially when paired with Monster Valves which also allow rapid tire deflation. We make Shock Inflation tools used by professional race teams and rec wheelers alike. Our line of propane tank brackets and fire extinguisher brackets are lightweight and incredibly strong. I know many of you already have built-in compressors so instead of trying to sell you something off the bat, I would rather learn about how you all air up and air down for off-roading. What are your typical street and trail pressures? Is the 20 ft hose included with the compressor kit long enough? Would you prefer to have a Tire Inflator tool with a gauge? We make everything in-house so we have the capability to make custom solutions to adapt to your existing equipment if we're aware of any pain points or annoyances. www.powertank.com

I recently purchased some yellow paracord that I used to wrap the front tow hooks of my R1S. I haven't done a lot of towing with my R1S but I felt this would add a colorful view to the front of my vehicle.

They're actually not bad at all, but the color is not quite the same. I feel it needs a little more orange in it. Probably I would add the orange color sometime soon or I might not add it at all. The paracord looks solid and it's made of plastic too. Looks like something that would last for a long time but, I would love to try it out by using it to tow a vehicle and see how it would perform.

It may get dirty and not clean well but I guess time will tell!
