    Currently the sliders are only being used for the storage of air. There is only one hole in the sliders. Air is pumped into and out of the same location. The quick connect is still on the compressor. Remember, I was simply using this set as a test set. I wanted to keep 100psi in them as often as possible, to see if they fail. If I do these for production, they will have a bung on each rail for hooking up to. Also, a pressure relief valve will be used to empty the sliders of moisture.

    I will post pictures of the ones currently on my truck tomorrow to give all of you an idea of how it is done. :D

    Just read through these recent posts. I'll have to come back to them later. Too many words to process before my coffee...

    400psi is too high. I'm not certain the tubing itself woldn't seperate. I would have three bungs, in, out, and drain. If you want more, I recommend the regulator below...
    Everything is pressurized except for 3 of the 4 legs from frame to slider. Yes, it's roughly 4 gallons total.
    The picture is the inside of the frame at the carrier bearing crossmember. Like said above, 3 holes in the sliders.
    :thumbsup:
    I would only probably test them at 200psi, rating them somewhere in the low-mid 100.
    Agreed :D

    I'm not currently set up for stainless, but I will check the price difference for you.

    seems like a very interesting idea. curious how they would hold up after taking a beating. i assume that everything would hold up just fine and you wouldn't have issues. good luck, hope they hold up.

    Any updates on these sliders, are you going to be selling them as a normal item or a special order? Also can you make them out of DOM tubing?

    Could but DOM will increase price substantially. I am currently catching up on orders. I'm trying my hardest to keep wait times low so I will be finishing up what I currently have on order before furthering air capable sliders.

    Alright folks, I believe I've got these figured out!

    Sliders will look exactly the same

    Will include an inlet, a drain, and an outlet.

    I will make a thread later with prices and pictures of mine.

    What are you willing to pay for full bolt on, zero drill sliders that will hold ~ 4 gallons?
