Nice job on the bracket.
I saw those yellow/greenish foam pads and I'm curious now...do you have an interior roll cage?

I hear ya Cybergasm! my major projects are on hold for the most part because I have no money to move them further onto the truck.
but these little projects that take almost no money I'm trying to get done while I can.

here is the air tank painted.
the air fittings and pressure relief valve installed.
the tank installed on the truck.
I have plastic fittings and tubing that is rated 150 P.S.I. to run air to the compressor and lines to the front and back of the truck.
the fittings and tubing are also rated UV94 which means they will last a long time out in the weather.

air fittings installed.......
got the air fittings installed on the truck.
the back fitting is up on the bumper and higher than the hitch. so it should be well protected.
but it will never be fully protected.
the front bumper fitting is installed. but I'm not sure it will be staying here. so we will see in the future.
this fitting also has a tee fitting behind it so I can run air to my solenoid valve for the air horns
