I want to cut my bumper likt the first pic but the passenger side has this tank? (2nd pic) I want to move it to the center of the bumper but that would require unplugging the small hose... anyone know what the tanks is and whats in it?

I did the same thing ans I movered mine in the engine bay. That is for your vacum. It will afect your cruise control and your air vents. I just pulled mine up by my firewall. There is enough line to move it

These are old pics. I got a new bumper sense then. I just 45ed them and cut and then just used some scrap 16g. sheet metal and caped the ends.

that looks sweet man I like the end cap idea I have a manual (no cruise) and if I unplug the line, relocate the tank, and re attach it should be fine right? Also how'd you mount those tow hooks? I really need some in the front until I make a winch bumper... someday
