Dont know, but that is a good idea! I will start looking and see what I can come up with.
Tire inflation on the trail
Does anybody know how to adapt the 20 or 24 oz CO2 tanks so you can fill tires on the trail? I can't find an adaptor to go from the tank to an air line. Any help would be appreciated.

Try this. Look down towards the bottom of the page and they have em! http://www.wheelersoffroad.com/co2systems.htm
Woodydid it and I saw it in use in windrock, beaded a tire at least 3 times, good setup!
Do you know where I could find a regulator and hose for the smaller tank like the 24 oz or will the reg. from that site work on the small too?
Try www.palmer-pursuit.com They can sell you a low pressure high flow regulator that will thread right on to the paintball tanks.

Just curious as to why not carry a small 12volt compresor from an auto parts store? I have one that is about the same size as the paintball canisters and it will yield an endless supply of air (as long as the Rnager does'nt run out of gas). Picked it up for $10 and has a biult in presure guage. I know everyone already knows about em and they are old news............I'm just curious as to why you would want to carry a cansister of air instead of an endless supply?
I'm guessing it is to seat a tire maybe????????

I suspect the canisters are higher flowing. The small compressers take quite a while.
I was by Lowes the other day and they had small tanks, Blue Rhino, along with a kit that had the regulator and all for $99 I believe. It was being sold as a way to power nail guns without toting an air compressor or going with one of the gas cartridge guns. It looked pretty neat.
Here you go.

Randy, I've never seen a compact 12 volt compressor that could seat a bead. They are just too slow. You could carry a can of starting fluid and a 12 volt compressor, then you would have a way to seat beads and a compressor to fill the tire with, but that takes more space than the paintball CO2 tank.
I figured it was to seat the tire. You definatly wont seat one with the 12v jobs. Thanks for the info!!
Actually, I picked up one of the fairly inexpensive chrome 12v compressors from Harbor Freight. It's got higher flow than the little black plastic ones from kragen. I haven't had to seat a bead on a ranger yet, but I did use it in the dunes to seat a full size razorback buggy tire. We just propped up the front end and held the tire in place while pouring some water around the bead. The little $50 compressor worked like a champ.
Here it is.

My advice, which ever air source you choose, run the front tires overhard. It's usually when your pressure is lower that you tend to roll a bead. At least with the stock Ranger tires... not sure about bighorns or others. After the first time it happened, I ran my fronts at 15 lbs. and never had a problem again.

I filled my tires with a product called Slime. Its a tire sealant that stops or slows leaks. Its about $30 a gallon.
