Air tank placement
I'm thinking of running a reserve air tank on my truck to allow for fast tire inflation with a small pump. The only 2 plausible locations to put it are where my spare tire goes (and is staying), or in the cab (which is space I use often). Can other ideas. THis is for a 4dr. 4Runner.

Thats a pretty good idea, unforunately I have a 2nd gen and I don't intend to install a roll cage in the near future.
How safe is a homemade air tank that is basically a long steel pipe that could be fitted in the stock rear bumper, or along a frame rail (away from exhaust heat) etc?

My front bumper is airtight with fittings.
But the thing here is that you need a HUGE tank to really help - tires contain A LOT of air.
I would highly recommend looking into a CO2 setup with the small compressor as a possible backup.

I have some 2.5 gallon tanks that fit just in front of the spare tire, use some plumbing strapping to hold it up to the bottom of bed:

I found 7 gal of air at 100psi just barely filled a 31x10.5r15 to 30psi. If I recall correct that is.
Anyone attached a York compressor to a 22RE? There's plenty of room for one I think.
