It’s well known that airing down your tires off road has some great benefits if you are out on the rocks or in the deep sand, but what if you are just on an easy trail? Do you really need to drop your tire pressure if you are on a beautiful scenic trail like this one Orasco Ridge? Today we are going to explore this incredible trail and talk all about tire pressure off-road.

    This is the one off roading channel where the music is always on point, it's never too loud or corny.
  • One more benefit of airing down not mentioned is it's actually easier on the components of your vehicle, just like it's a softer ride for the occupants it's softer on the components. Great video as always.

    I take exception to always running lower tire pressures off pavement. I have been driving off pavement since the late 1960's. I also spent 30 years as a Forest Manager and Logging Engineer. I signed off on the checks to pay for road maintenance. For me it makes since to SLOW DOWN and smell the sagebrush. It is not the tire pressure that increases ware and tear on the roads but SPEED. I found that switching from 2 wd to 4 wd off pavement results in better driving, but keep the speeds down. It is not how many miles you travel each day but the quality of the trip that is important to me. In conclusion I live along the Oregon BDR. Please respect those of us that live next to your route. Slow down and reduce the DUST that prevents us from air drying our laundry and enjoying a nice meal on our patio due to the dust generated from others driving past our homes at a high rate of speed.

    Does anyone else think Brad does it on purpose to stop and turn off the engine just to start the engine up again and hear the roar of the exhaust and engine! lol, another awesome video! Thanks Brad!
  • @VeryCoolJeep
    This trail is better than any of regular roads in my country
  • @user-ml7cv7mj1e
    I love this guy. Brad always has a smile on his face, is just as happy on a simple trail or a trail like the Rubicon. And the little pointers are always welcome.
  • we would have rissoles in australia, basically the exact same recipe as meatloaf but instead of baking a loaf we'd form them into palm sized balls flatten a bit on two sides but thicker than a burger patty and fry them up. usually eat them along with mash potato and vegetables but extra ones are made to go on sandwiches the next day usually cold and cut in half so yes we eat the same thing just differently.

    Once again you nailed the video Brad. You have a way to explain topics that is very easy to follow. I appreciate the GPS coordinates at the beginning too. I hope you continue doing this in the future.
  • @stoutmasta
    I think this little series you are doing (intentional or not) has been great. In sports we would always take the off season to go back to basics to really help dial in the advanced stuff later. These are great for new and experienced guys to go back and consider what and why they are doing what they are doing. Well done and thank you.

    Here on the beaches in Delaware the state parks have air stations at each beach ramp. Free air!!! I do have a Viair for backup.
  • @jeffmilks4501
    Thanks, Brad. Super informative and thanks for sharing all of the variables involved. Your videos never miss, best channel on YouTube. Gorgeous scenery in this one too. And that 392 always looks good!
  • @rxmonkey5946
    I am enjoying all of these educational videos lately. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! We appreciate you!
  • @robert5712
    Thanks Brad for another relaxing, informative and well shot off-road video. My air down methods and pressures are similar to yours and agree with your advice.
  • @MochoTT
    Hi Brad, always such a pleasure watching your videos, great content and advice! Thanks!
  • @jeffquick7917
    Great super-debated topic, much like “what gearset to re-gear to when going to a larger tire”….all kinds of input and opinions, all of which ultimately comes down to you and your specific setup. Thanks Brad for covering and your input, it’s highly valued and appreciated, stay safe!
  • @cowelk
    Brad, yes I enjoyed hanging out with you. You go on so many trails that are so scenic and stock Jeep capable. While some offroad challenges are fun, it is also fun to just get out in the country and drive.
  • @ericschmidt3759
    I love that you are putting coordinates in your videos again. Thank you.

    I love the Ramona area. Back in '74 & '75, I lived on Old Julian highway, halfway to Santa Ysabel. I am a water guy for work. When I worked for LA County over 12 years ago. My duties included sampling water in fire department reservoirs accessed on similar roads. I had a lot of access to locked gates. I drove a 2006 Ford F-350 4wd. Not enough time to air down those 275/65-18 tires. Never got stuck. Now with my personal vehicles, I operate quite differently. And everything you coverd in this story usually applies.
