I carry a bicycle high pressure floor pump, about 30" tall with T handle and foot pads. This along with tubeless plug kit and some tire-specific tools. Never relied on one of the electrics, and can't recall even trying one beyond the garage walls.

The place where I go has a sandy beach and the rear wheels get stuck every time. I need a rebuilt tranny anyway, but I’m told that adding a locking diff will add $1500 to the cost. Is it worth it? And aside from the cost - are there any other downsides to having one?
