Bug out rig

To dodge guy:

Convert the a/c pump to air. Just remember an inline oiler with air compressor oil in it before the compressor.

Get the bumper etc tied into a lot more than the last 3-4" of frame rail, it wads up like foil. Id make it bolt on as well, any need to reseal the timing case to the block and you need to get everything out of the way in front of the engine.

How do you do this?

Recommendation - we used to do this on our 4x4 rock climbing rigs. Make a heavy steel bumper from explosion proof gas pipe. Seal both ends and put a threaded nipple on one of them for a air fitting. You can then use the low pressure A/C pump to fill the bumper and it will then act as a pretty decent air tank. You would be surprised how much air a decent sized truck tire takes and especially if it popped off the bead. In those situations, you can wrap a "come-along" around the middle of a tire and crank it down to push it against the bead and then air it if you have too.
