That's just what I would do.
Don't spend too much time thinking about it though. I'm coming up on 6 months of trying to finish my console, but cant decide how to build it so that I can add or remove things later on >

I feel like that would be a little...sketchy if you bump into anything. Imagine hitting something big enough to compromise the tube, you may get some good shrapnel out front/back. hahahaha

I dunno I've seen it done a few times... imagine being offroad and needing to pressure up the tires when you get a flat. pop in a repair piece and then air up off the bumper and your on your way home. it's a 4x4 thing I guess... I know I'd never need it with a track ready truck.

and to the OP? whet type of tube are you using? size wise. are you making like a prerunner bumper and filling in with sheet metal?
