I was kinda informed that my Box was going to be a No go next year... so I
have spent a week moving the stuff to the trunk and adding another 15lb

ended up leaving the Nitrogen in the car... but redesigned and manufactured
the new mounting hardware... something I wanted to do last year but didn't
have the Time....
