We are getting news of vigilante environmentalists deflating tires on SUVs.

Can anyone recommend a good set of Bronco-compatible locking valve stem caps?

Don't they realize they are causing more energy use by doing this? How many AAA or the like calls will be generated and a tech in anothet yeuck wi drive across town to air it ip. Nobody is going to sell their car because the air got let out of the tire.

Even though the majority of them aren't too smart and don't know it, locking valve stem caps do little to nothing to prevent deflating the tires. Unless you have replaced your valve stems with metal ones, it takes a lot less time to just cut the valve stem or knife the tire then to pull the cap off and remove or depress the valve core to air down the tire.

I swear, just when you think the world couldn’t get any more stupid. Do people really have nothing better to do with their lives?

It seems the honor among these thieves says not to cause permanent damage. Their code also stipulates not deflating cars that belong to disabled people or schools. But most of the locking caps can be unlocked w/ an Allen wrench, which is a big duh.

No. But I would recommend nunchucks.

I'm learning taiji sword. Will that do?

I'd say you're probably still safer just getting a good pump. If they can't deflate your tires they may escalate and slash them

Pick up a "Hybrid" decal for the back.

This is brilliant.

I run this on my Raptor. The tree huggers are not smart enough to know it's not.

Unfortunately they are going after ALL "SUV's" - ICE, Hybrid, and EV's.

I live in Texas. It was 105 yesterday. I believe there are currently rolling brown-outs. Not too worried about the environmentalists, they are all inside trying to keep cool.

If I were an environmentalist however, I’d be worried more about some redneck deflating or slashing my tires.
