mark91xjbeef · Apr 23, 2004

i finally got around to finishing my front fenders and front bumper. the bumper also serves as the air tank for my oba. tell me what you think. i will take pics of the fenders tommorow.

Looks good. How are the d-rings mounted?

It looks as if it was built for a wrangler... It still looks good just not used to the style... You may be on to somthing though... My question is why did you decide to use the bumper as a air tank? seams scary to me being up front..

i think it looks weird with the combination of square tube and round tube, but it looks very functional, so as long as you like the looks, that's cool!

i hate hearing this! grrrr!

okay, no it's cool, i remember when i used to think this would be dangerous

the air in a normal air compressor system is at 125-150 psi, that is nothing in the world of compressed gasses. if that bumper were to get hit hard enough to tear the metal, you would hear a "whoosh" and that would be it.

my rear bumper is an air-tank

Well, Im just used to hearing everyone useing there rear bumper as a ac tank instead of the front... I think just in the mind set that it would be safer in the rear..

this is where the round tubing wraps around and lines the fender. the tube is welded to the fender and then a little magic bondo for the curves. i like how it came out it is a lot stronger.

looks good. i think its a pretty tight idea to use the tubing as an air tank.
