That was pressurized with a mini frame-mount two-way bike pump, 30 cycles of the pump...under 2 psi...
...and no wiring or holes cut into the tub.
All parts are available, repairable, and serviceable.
Pro-Werks is sending me another fill cap. At that point, one of the caps is getting drilled/ tapped for a Schrader valve (I have my doubts about the longevity/ durability of the ABS plastic caps).

This was built in order to address some concerns being expressed to me about the longevity of the ABS caps. I currently have one of the ABS ones installed, and I will leave it in place through an Ohio winter to see if that is a legitimate concern. The mechanism of the ABS "Test-Tite" cap allows it to be "locked" on, and can only be removed with a tool, so for security's sake, that is the better option for me right now, as I find my house sitting between two rental properties with residents that have little regard for anything, and I don't really want any of them using my bumper as a urinal.
If the ABS doesn't work out, this aluminum Pro-Werks cap is ready to go into rotation.

Since its "the season," I figured I would give this a bump. Winter was pretty mild here, but the ABS cap and all seals are holding up fine (even in lieu of the fuel spit-up my JK developed late last Fall).
