Carry a jack, a stable base, a ratchet tie down strap, rag, and you can put the bead back on with a CO2 tank OR a can of starter fluid (need fire too)
Take weight off of tire, wipe sand off of bead, compress center of tire around tread with tie down strap, add quick & large burst of air from CO2 tank OR spray in starter fluid (ether) and apply flame as you run....
OR just don't slide your tires sideways in the sand.

I ran a multi wire cable from the battery to the p side tail light ,
then made a plate to mount on the tire carrier ,
you have to remove the pressure gage thats on the compressor ( 1/4 " brass plug I think I did it 3 years
ago and I'm old ) had to file and test fit a few times .
I have stock 17" wheels
When i got the ORFAB tire carrier made a plat and used the mounting points of the stock tire carrier ,
You might want to cover it for the winter, I don't but it doesn't freeze here ,
and the fuse holder on it is a POS remove it and put one at the batt.
the air coupler in pic #2 is for a flag antenna a must for the dunes out here.

and invest in a deflater its worth it http://www.4wheelparts.com/search.aspx?kw=deflator
And I like the stock bumper light thing u did.
The tire/gerry can carrier is ORFAB you say?
Nice!!

I have a '11 JKU Sahara stock. I go with the family on 3 day desert crossings in Oman, don't go below 12-15 psi on the front, you can drop to 8 if you get stuck but keep front a little higher to stop rolling off the tyre, will usually only happen when you turn hard or come off a bump and the sand drops off to one side. Make sure you try and get all the sand out of your tyre if you peel it off. I didn't had around 2lb in one drove like a pig when I aired back up to go home. With low air pressure on the black stuff just keep the speed low. Sand is a blast to play in...
