    I guess that's all relative to the person drinking the water. The water coming out of your faucet spends time in lots of tanks that never get cleaned out. Any water tank for potable water I wanted to clean would be done with chemicals anyway. My camel backs never get scrubbed or clean nor does my hot water tank for that matter. I'm not sure I would use the water in the bumper as drinking water. But for cleaning, bathing and cooking water I would have no issues with it at all. The biggest draw back would be the heat but use that to your advantage and have a hot shower

    I've seen people use their bumpers as OBA tanks before.

    I'm guessing if it can hold water holding air should be no big deal. Just a matter of different connections I guess.

    Fairly comon indeed, if i ws bringing extra drinking water I would have shower water in the tanks on the roof to get warm, and drinking water in the Jeep to keep Cool.

    I spend a lot of time living in my XK from wheeling to trips to camping on the beach and having a water source even just to cook and clean with that didn't eat cargo space would be awesome indeed.

    Thanks to Jacob we started on the new front bumper(s) today. Had a long brain storming session and came up with some very cool ideas that should start to take shape over the next couple of day.
