We use to have to use a larger version of those airbags for lifting aircraft in rough terrain. To prevent them being punctured, a one inch felt pad would be laid down under the bag, and between the bag and aircraft. Two felt pads the size of these bags wouldn't be a problem to store flat in the back of the VX.
Was just at Lowes, and they have a 2 ton bottle jack on sale for 9.97 so I grabbed one. lift is 7 1/4 to 13 11/16. good enough to change a tire on the roadside.

Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace... Never mind "Paris to Dakar", the VehiCROSS looks ready for the Martian desert.
