A lot of mucking around to fit the internal bead lock. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJbAsemU6LU
My advice is: not to follow my advice.
http://www.secondair.com.au/howitworks.htm Secondair still requires a hole drilled. Edit, beat me to it.

Love the pic of the bloke standing between the recovery rope.

IF IT'S NOT A NISSAN.
THEN IT'S A COMPROMISE
Bit of an old thread but I was interested to read about the inflatable bead locks. I looked at the Staun inflatable bead locks a number of years ago for use on a vehicle being supplied to the Australian Army and even went as far as getting one of our rims drilled for a second valve hole and having a Staun bead lock fitted as a concept demonstrator but we didn't end up going ahead with them. I can remember at the time thinking that surely it wouldn't be that hard to come up with a bead lock that had a single valve that was able to somehow "telescope" in and out to allow you to fill either the bead lock or the main tyre from the same valve. A while ago I saw that this concept has been developed for mountain bikes to allow them to run tubeless setups and they have implemented a single valve that can inflate either chamber (albeit a presta valve and not a schraeder valve). https://www.schwalbe.com/en/procore.html
Pretty nifty piece of German engineering and it had me thinking that surely this concept could be pretty easily applied to a Schraeder valve on a 4x4 tyre??
