please read and give input....everyones knowlege required

i was thinking again last night, i want to put a 15 lb nx kit on my truck in my bed, i was thinking that i want my truck to appear stock so here is what i came up with, tell me if you think if it would work or if not, how to make it work.
first off, i do have the bed cover
i want to put a bedrug in the truck that normally fits a super crew, that would leave about 10 inches between the bedrug and the front of the bed, getting a carpenter friend to build a wall to support the new front of the bed (where the bedrug stops) and then putting my bottle and battery in that 10 inch space, that way if someone were to open my tailgate to check for it or to steal it, they wouldnt see it since its dark in there they wouldnt notice that the bedrug is 10 inches away and is supported by plywood and not metal, does that make sense to anyone???

Thats a good idea, but the bed rung wont fit right. The curves in the bed wouldn't make it fit right. But then lets say it works, and looks right. It's going to be hard to change the bottle when time comes, and for big race events you need 2 bottles. Then the other problem comes in of trying to hide the main feed line, silinoids, and injecter fitting.

Personally i think it is to much trouble just to try to hide the fact you are useing nitrous. Also, unless you can get the medical grade, people will be able to smell it when you use it.

my main goal is street racing, so the 2 bottle thing doesnt worry me, plus i dont care if it is smelt after i wax a bitch, but i could get medical grade if i had to....about half the reason i want to do it though is so i can throw stuff in the bed and not worry about wacking the bottle...

You are considering street racing with nitrous?

When you say "wax a bitc*, you don't mean running somebody over trying to get home to their family after work, right?

Why not just put it in the cab behind your seat? (Flame intended)

Anyways, come to our show Saturday night in Tampa and I'll show you one of the best "stealth" setups minus the hidden bottle.
