    My little Costco compressor was doing a valiant job of retaining pressure, but could never have re-beaded the tyre. Its one of the reasons I cart the big spare with me off-road.

    The tanks are a smart solution but the do take up a load of space.

    THats true!! they are big. I like the idea of Ldubs setup. I'm wondering if i can make a 'removable' boot build that utilises the seat brackets so if i HAD to i could pull out all the tools and gear and just pop the seats back in. like a 12mm MDF base and build up from there.

    Mine uses all stock threaded mounting points. I started with a light framework made of .75" x 1.5" (1" x 2" in US) fir (pine), then countersunk the fasteners (stainless cap screws) so the heads were flush.
    The two front mounts are near the stock speaker location. (on the floor)
    Then cut a base of .25" plywood, & built up from there.
    LOTS of glue, screws, & finish nails is key when building light...
