    Hey all! I’ve got a TRD Pro that I run pretty heavily through the Mountain Passes here in SW Colorado. I’m looking to drop my tire pressure to improve rid comfort but I’m a little hesitant to do so because the valve caps say “N2”. I’m assuming that means nitrogen.. does that mean I need to refill my tires with nitrogen after deflating them? And if so, where would I go to acquire it?

    I’m new to all of this so any and all advice would be appreciated!!

    Its fine to mix.

    But not sure how low you want to go just for "comfort" you didn't buy a luxury car if you are looking for that type of ride.

    Once a nitrogen system is contaminated with air, it’s an air system. Probably more practical in your situation anyway. I don’t think ARB sells a nitrogen system for off road (yet).

    Regular air is right around 80% nitrogen anyway. Don’t even waste your time putting thought into it.

    I use a custom 78% blend. Best part is it’s available everywhere and usually free. :thumbsup:
