I like your video. I like your idea too. I'm looking to mount something similar for an off road application. I can't have anything hang below my frame so I can't copy exactly what you did but hopefully I learned something. side note.. I've always been told never run a bolt through the frame without a sleeve. If you don't want to install a sleeve I usually install nutserts to avoid pinching the frame. I know your not holding that much weight but might be good to point out.
hey good idea i have a old welding tank gonna do the same and have a air compressor for construction but how do i do the layout for the wires ? Im using a motor from a construction air compressor
Hello as for the compressor it is a actual job site 110 v compressor i may need to figure out how i can run it off the truck any ideas ?I don't know about the wiring. I will send you pics got the tank up not welded but used 2 rings and a release in case i need to pull it out . Please feel free to give some advise , o btw have not begun welding the old tank in fear of it having gasses need to install a drain cog and remove the existing valves
If your 110v compressor uses a standard household electrical plug you could use a good power inverter. So it would be 12v from your vehicle's battery, to the inverter, then to the compressor. If you got a multiplug inverter you could also run other power tools and lights off it.
Cool Video! What do you estimate the maximum working pressure of that tank in PSI at? J/K?
Awesome idea. But one concern if you weld the tank. Dose it make a weak spot ???

I am going to do that to my truck, as an avid cyclist, this method is faster to fill bicycle tires at our weekend group rides.
Thank you for the video. It really helped me with some decision making.
Never weld on a closed/sealed tank or container make sure there is a way for pressure to escape other wise it can explode.
Yeah I don't he need a pressure release valve so too much air won't build up in that tank and explode

Very nice review and Interesting explanation . thanks
you are the man!!!
helped me pretty good.
Great idea and job!
I'm not clear on the ourpose of this? neat by all means. GREAT JOB
Having air on your truck serves multiple purposes. Air rides, train horns, air connectors (to fill up your tires or clean your bed) and many more.
Oh ... yea, that makes sense

that's a great idea!
