Default ARB Twin Compressor Install Rear Cargo Area

I am in the process of doing an LS swap and need to relocate my ARB twin compressor. I was thinking about possibly mounting it in the rear cargo area ('13 JKU). I have looked and searched but would like to get some ideas, thoughts, pictures, etc. of rear cargo installs for the ARB twin compressor.

I have looked at the M.O.R.E. and Grab Bars rear mounting brackets. I like how the Grab Bars mount kind of shields the unit a little from the cargo area. If mounting in the rear cargo area, I would like some sort of "shield" to prevent any items from sitting up against it if running it and to prevent anything from damaging connections, etc.

I have also thought about one of the rear molle panels to mount it to. Would like to get some more ideas and/or pictures please.

I know the other option is to mount it under the drivers seat. This may be still an option I look at but was curious about the rear cargo area first.

Much appreciated.

I have a buddy who mounted his by the rear roll bar leg in the cargo area. He has a single compressor, but he also added a cooler and water separator since he had an abundance of room. It's plumbed to his front locker and has a QD for filling tires.

I've had dual compressor mounted under the passenger seat for years now. Out of the way is how I prefer it. I never wanted it mounted in dirty engine bay and I have a lockbox under the driver's seat.

That Molle point solutions guy is legit. I've installed an ARB dual in the rear/ cargo area on a TJ and it wasn't so bad. It takes up valuable cargo space so I made all of the fittings and power quick disconnectable for easy removal when you're not carrying it. I know there's more room in the JKU but it still cuts into cargo space and that rubs me the wrong way. I'd be an under the seat install if I were in your shoes.
