Deflating 3 mins from 35 to 14.

Are you using key to deflate?

You can deflate 1 tire in 10-15 sec with valve core removal technique.

Also why deflating to 14 on Expedition (too heavy). Does it has AT tires, if yes, then its fine. If on stock HT tires better stick to 16 for first few drives until you get used to desert driving with deflated tires.

At 14 on HT tire, you risk of getting pop-out (tire off the wheel) under some fast sideway descent by mistake.

1) AT tires it has, 265/70r18

2) I was testing deflators and inflator(dobinsons has to come tomorrow) 

3) core removal is nice(i did it when doing edi desert course), but for 4 tires anyway it will take total 3 mins if you are very speedy and experienced,  so to put deflator on 4 tires in summary is giving almost same result.

Ps. Most probably after 5 drives I'll be removing core
