Wouldn't that make it a "Quadropus"?
I have the Morrflate system that looks just like that and works great.
Or a quadriplegic octopus?

Did the chalk test for proper tire inflation this morning. Was a good excuse to break out my inflator octopus (4 legged) attached to my remote chuck from my ARB under hood compressor. My tires are Falken Wildpeak AT4W 35" x 11.5". Good pressure was 36PSI all corners. The quad connection makes equalizing tire pressure as easy as connecting the tires to the digital gauge. Airing down is done by simply opening the fill valve while disconnected from the chuck. Air up takes no time after playing in soft dirt and rocks.

Joined the Fox club adding the ATS 2.0 stabilizer. Kind of fun project. Glad I had a long-reach 13 mm ratchet wrench sitting around, as those two upper bracket bolts are just not reachable with any of my sockets (even with a stubby 13mm and low profile wrench). Tried a crowfoot extension on my torque wrench but gave up on that too. As a final touch (living in MN) I gave all bolts and the adjusting screw a dose of Woolwax.

If you jack up the body on the drivers side, those two upper bolts are easy to reach.

Just did the same exact thing too! I parked it on the parking curb.

By the way, it's fun having a car I can actually drive over a curb rather than wonder how much damage I did to the splitter and bumper . . .

I finally got my front bumper, winch and lights wired and installed. I did the rear bumper lights wiring along the way. It’s been a process, but everything came out great. I went for a stock look plus winch and lights. I spent way too much time hiding wiring and making everything extra secure and weatherproof. I hid the flood/spot rocker under the dash.

I’m not surprised, but it rides better than ever with the extra weight. I have a takeoff Rubicon LE suspension on it so it’s designed for the extra weight. 2020 Overland but only 58k miles.
