Hi all, I have a Trail’d 14gal “boondocker” water tank on my 2021 Tacoma. It mounts underneath in the stock spare tire location and uses a 12v shurflo pump which connects to a Recpro quick connect hose outlet and a city water fill, located in the license plate cavity mounted on a custom setup I made. I currently have a Rig’d ultra swing for the spare.
It’s worked great but I’m installing a high clearance bumper soon and will not be able to use the same inlet/outlet setup, as the hitch receiver will now be be behind the license plate.
The fabricator and I discussed modding the bumper to put holes on either side of the license plate or on the back of the bumper facing out for mounting quick inlet/outlet hose connects, but I’m having a hard time figuring out what parts to use. They need to be durable (brass? Stainless?) enough to take the abuse of being exposed on the back of the bumper and low profile if possible with a dust cap.
Some photos attached for reference, including the swingout bumper that will soon be installed from ATH fab.
Can anyone recommend what type of quick connects I can use for this application? Many thanks.
