Andy and Kyle,

Wait! If you're going to wish for something for as much as $80 and you want
to know how much your tires are inflated, get a load of this. SmarTire
Wireless Monitoring System, $219 from http://www.tirerack.com. You'll know
the pressure of your tires from initial cold start everyday to normal
driving. This system monitors each tire every 30 seconds. The unit runs on
a lithium battery or you can connect to a 12-volt source. I think it's
warranted for 50,000 miles. Merry Christmas.

Andy,
Do yourself a favor, and maybe hint to someone it would make a great Xmas
gift, and get a tire pressure guage from K&D Enterprises. It is built
awesome, nice and heavy duty design also. It even comes with a nice durable
bag. I just love the clip on hands free design of the air chuck. The main
large pressure dial is connected to a machined piece of brass, which is also
fancy. On one end is the bleeder valve when airing tires down and the other
end is the valve which a air hose can clip onto, basically it has its own
built in valve stem. I bought mine a year ago and paid around $45 for it.

Their website was at: http://www.slickrockairgauge.com
but I cant get it to pull up, maybe you can. Otherwise call them at (801)
558-1797
There are also a variety of good air gauges used in the 4WD industry,
depending on how much you want to spend. I know Currie does make a nice one,
just with an $80 price tag. Good Luck!
