Default Air Compressor

I want to put in an onboard air system and I'm considering installing a Viair, but was wondering where everybody is putting the tank. I would prefer to have it out of the way, but any suggestions would be great. Thanks

VIAIR has come out with JK specific kits that are a direct bolt on and include everything you need, along with the wiring harness.

If you have a 07-11, there new 2on2 compressors system is ideal and outs our 4.55 CFM on the 150 PSI system. Also the ADA is a good unit if you are just looking to fill tires and operate air lockers, and not needing to run air tools.

We have a special running for May on both these kits. Just let me know if I could help you out or answer any questions.

Ok I've got everything mounted but realized that the kit doesn't come with a hose to attach the tank to the manifold. I have been looking for a heat resistant hose but can't seem to find one anywhere. Any help would be great.

Thanks

I got the Viair 2on2 with the JK mounts. I found an air hose at Hydraulic Supply for under the hood, and I love it works great!
