Anyone have a link or any info into building a pressurized rear bumper? Want to run a air compressor and use that as a tank.

I wouldn't do the rear bumper, I think sliders would be better.

X2. What happens if you bang down on it and puncture.

You hear... sssssssssssss....

I think you might be able to get more volume out of a small tank than sliders or bumpers I could be wrong though.

For what it's worth, square tubing wouldn't be ideal and I don't know if I even want a tank... Might just rock a HF compressor inside.

I believe the tank should be inside safe. Everything outside will get dinged up and hitting a pressurized tank may be dangerous

The tank would only be pressurized when it needed to be but this is if I run a tank... My set up will be inside.

You just have to make the welds on the bumper completely air tight, then drill and tap an air chuck into the bumper. But i'd still put it in the back.
