Default Anybody route air compressor lines/fittings to bumpers?

My compressor is mounted under the hood and I was thinking about routing air lines to front/rear bumpers for ease of use (no need to pop hood to air up). Anybody done this?

If so, how did you do it? Just looking for ideas.

Thanks

I mounted my ARB compressor on the cross member between the frame just in front of the oil filter. I ran a hose from there to my bumper for easy connection.

Unfortunately my Ipad won't allow me to post a pictures. If u dare I can email or text you pictures.

I had it in the bumper before but I thought it was too exposed to possible trail debris.

Thanks. Mine is mounted using the northridge mount next to the brake booster. My only concern, that you just mentioned, was the possibility of trail debris. A rubber plug/cap should take care of that...

I plan on doing it. Just looking to see how others have done it. Maybe I'll do a write-up on it if it hasn't been done.

I put an air connection in each door opening just above the door tether hook to keep them out of the muck.
