I have an air pump that clips to the battery, is there anyway I can put a positive and negative connection on the bumber or anywhere else so I don't have to open the hood up? Thanks in advance.............

It sounds like it should be a simple mod. Be sure to use heavy gauge cables if you try it. Those little compressors really heat up and also keep in mind whatever terminals you use will be fully exposed to the elements so you may want to cap them off somehow.

I know, it does heat up a lot. Any ideas on where I can get terminals? I guess you hook it to the battery and run the wires to wherever you want it then secure it? what would something like that be called? thanks for the reply.

skiddd -

Google tow truck/recovery vehicle equipment.
There are quick connect cable connectors used to run jumper cables througt the grille on commercial use vehicles.
