hmm....interesting idea....i was gonna mount it inside where the lug wrench goes (if it fits) or maybe underneath the VX in the rear....

but the roof rack is an interesting idea....

It's like a 50/50 Pay on some debts and enjoy your sliders. And weld the sliders on ! ! Unless it mounts directly to the frame side (I still would weld them) you wouldn't want any extra bolt heads exposed from the bottom. Enjoy your $$

ROCK...psssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

ya, thats the temptation to put it elsewhere...

i really like the idea of the roof rack. just worried about how the elements will affect it?? (extreme heat and extreme cold on a BLACK compressed air tank??)

hey, by the way, from you guys who know more about this stuff than me...what am i gonna need to get to make this thing usable??

some sort of air nipple? and air hose?? is that it? is the nipple gonna be different for putting air in than taking air out??

i havent really looked at the dimensions of it, but i remember looking at that a while ago and thinking hmmm i wonder if this will fit inside the rear bumper cage.. or inside the rear cladding somewhere.. theres soo much room in there, then all you would need is a hose/valve of some sort to be able to access it

[pbkid]

i would just worry about what would happen if i get rear ended lol....BOOM!!!

you would just have to run a fill and drain hose to somewhere accessable....

am i going to need a fill and a drain?? or can they use the same nipple??

One of the main drawbacks of mounting a compressed air tank, in an out of the way place, is the fact that compressed air has moisture in it, LOTS of moisture.
There SHOULD be a drain petcock located on the bottom of any compressed air tank for draining out the water that accumulates on the inside as condensation, which would be somewhat difficult to access, if mounted in a hidden loca.
Otherwise it will eventually rust through...
That's why many aftermarket sources of compressed gasses are CO2.
I personally like a 50 cf scuba bottle, since I can press it into service in another hobby...scuba air has VERY little moisture in it.
But I will say, carrying around a miniature , pressurized to 3000 psi in the back of your ride, is NOT an option that everyone should entertain.
Don't tailgate the dub, it's comin' your way...
