In what we were in buddy airing down would not have helped her sorry. Plus screaming You need to air down from the top of the Hill doesn't help either unless you do something about it.
Taking air out of the tires is pretty easy, filling them back up is what's hard. Back in 07, my CRD was basically like hers. It wasn't easy, but I did make it up. The tread width on what fits on a KJ is basically a bicycle tire compared to what everyone else was running. Add on top of that the CRD weighs more than the other rigs and all you do is dig in. When my tires touch dirt, I air down because I know I need every advantage I can get. I was at 15 PSI at Twin Cone and 20 PSI at Slaughterhouse
I am not sure why there was such resistance to airing down not only at that instance but at the trail head as well.
As far as not helping out, I think anyone who knows me on this forum would vouch for me that I'm a stand up guy and would help anyone in serious need. Besides, why should I have busted my stupid climbing down the slope just to let some air out of the tires and climb all the way back up when you were right next to her? It wasn't a major rescue that was required just let some air out. Sheesh.
Most of the time, ESP is a good friend just not on that slope.
