changing tyres

Looks good to me, but doesnt look hard to make.

Looking for how small it packs away to...

Remember the tire he is using in the demo would have been off the car a few dozen times, so would make it look REAL easy ;)

looks simular to what they use in tyre shops except without the hydraulic bead breaker. How much more? and if youre troopy has splitties you dont need it anly the tyre plier. Also as Truckster says how much space

Looks like a winner to me.

Nothing worse than busting your hump working in a position not meant for the human body( no khama sutra jokes please);-)

I definately like the Idea of the bullbar mount.

Glenno,

I do a lot of outback travel, have gone to tubeless over the past 10 years, and haven't considered needing a tyre changer.

We plug the majority of tubeless punctures - takes 5 minutes and you don't have to remove the wheel. Can get a permanent repair when you're back in town. Also, if you treat your tyres right, you'll rarely get punctures.

On the rare occasions I need to remove a tyre to patch it from the inside, I use the high lift as the beadbreaker (kinder to the alloys too). I then coat the tyre beads with detergent BEFORE I lever the tyre off - makes it slide off stacks easier. Levering off is easy - just got to make sure the opposite side of the bead is in the wheel well. Also make sure that you lever it over the front face of the rim. Bit of practice at home makes perfect.

I also think that tubeless are much easier than split rims which often rust up and can be a bugger to break the bead, and lever up the split. Reassembly of the split is easy though.

Cheers
Phil
