A question of stability

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

Nope it's factory spec, always ran my SJs at 20psi, I run 18psi with the 33s most of the time because of the heavier sidewalls though.

wow never knew that, seems a very low pressure though. Always run mine at 30psi. I do turn it down offroading, but find that pressure on road is just about perfect.
If it ticks over...leave it

I run 24psi all round.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

SJs weigh under 1000kg and have high profile sidewalls unlike road cars so don't really need high pressures.

Tbh I've always found the ride comfort a lot better down at 20psi, Highest I ever go is 22psi if I'm going on a long journey and the Sj is loaded up.
