Ahhhh was it one of those cheapy aluminum caps? If so, yeah those are horrible. I had problems with them on a previous vehicle and I had to have the whole nipple removed and replaced. They fuse themselves on and don't come off.

ANYONE wanting to pupt them on. DON'T!!!

Yes...the cheap skull ones with red eyes. (I'm a goober) I have the regular ones on now.

Might want to look into some expensive but good caps. No-Loss Valve Stem Caps

Now while I do have a set of these myself, the only thing I really wish was that it came with 5 units and not 4, that way it would also cover the spare tire.

In finding this item for the link I saw this and thought it would have been a nice addition to how you broke the tire bead Pepper. I do like the site's suggestion of being able to stablize the jack in unusual situations.

oh hey, diggin that bead breaker!

I'm happy with my little normal black valve covers.
I'm actually looking to find some good deflaters that you can adjust.

:wink:

Thanks Don!!! You are awesome!

You mean like the Staun ones?

Yeah I should get a set of those.. Oh wait I don't air down so what the hell do I need them?

Well if you looking for deflators, check out this product review page.

Personally while it is somewhat of a pain to attach I actually picked up this productjust not in the red/orange hose & gauge protector cover which got a rating of 3 on the above review page (product specific). This one actually takes the valve stem out to make it easier to deflate.

Cool videos.

I air down the old fashoin way.....with a small rock :rock:

I would like to get some kind of "deflator" down the road.

Stacey got me one just like that one ^^^^^^^^ on e-bay for X-mas. It works awesome! I just can't remember who made it. I know it was reasonably priced though. :wink:

About $30-40 is what I paid, if I remember correctly. I actually need to do some speed tests with the 5-way inflate/deflate setup I made (spare too). Nothing like deflating without a valve in the tire stem. :lol:

If anyone wants to search for one here is the term: EZ Deflate tire
