I have inner air locks, I've only done 6-8 rides but they do work well. I wanted the Coyotes as he has a slick idea for airing down but it was just too much $$$ for me knowing that I would be moving to 17" within a year ( I'm 15x10 rims) .

Heavy, and requires a wheel that works with that setup, and/or tubes (how inner air, staun, coyote, etc. do it). Easiest way to get there is usually a wheel with a large inner bell and an add-on outer beadlock that leaves the original outer bead seat in place, which will be "fun" with the "31's on a Subaru" steering/geometry.
IIRC, JR4X has actual liners, which are lighter than the literal old tires I did that with, so a little less weight than my implementation, but still not "light". Nascar also uses (used? I've not tried to steal their tech in a long time) liners on non-lock wheels at the Cup level, believe they run 15" wheels too, but getting Cup car level parts has been difficult before.
I found stauns to be too fragile for stuff like KOH, but considering how much more fragile an entire Subaru is than a 4400 car, it might be a workable balance. Could be close on having enough room for aired-down tire squat within 31's.

Bump on if anyone is running the coyote or the inner air lock style setups. I want to use my H2 wheels with 42x13.50r17 mickey thompson mud terrains. Setup will be on a 1 ton full size rig and mostly mud, snow and some rock crawling.
I know a bunch of people don't like dealing with them but wanted some honest feedback. Less than 800 for 4 is way cheaper then buying beadlocks. I want to run super low pressure for the Sierra cement in the winter time.
Any tips or tricks that anyone would want to share?
This is not for a Subaru on 31s.... flame away

I've been running inner air locks from Shawn since he first offered them. I like them.
Favorite part that I like is when I'm at the dunes for a week and airing up and down I'm only airing up/down 1/3 of the 42" tire. Inner 2/3 will remain at 25psi. I run my tires at 4psi for sand and slightly higher for rock etc.
They can be a bitch to install. 16" wheels take me 1 night each and are super tuff as there is no room to work. 20" wheels I can do a whole set in a night with almost no tools or drama.

Yes, the more the better.
