Do you mean behind the tail light? Why not mount it on the passenger side, away from the fuel? It's safer and a shorter route to your battery.

 

No need to take off the fender liner - just pull off your tail light. It's a nice big hole to work with.

 

Mines fitted under the passenger seat on a RHD here in Aus. Just have to fold up the tab/bracket underneath and it fit perfect! Airs up my 305/65/17 procomp extreme MUDs from 12psi - 36psi in 70seconds! Love it!!

 

Hmmm, my bad. Maybe I read it somewhere on the forum. I definitely remember seeing someone with pictures of it mounted in the engine bay on the drivers side. I'll try to find it later.

 

Any chance you have some pics? I opted for under the passenger seat as well, there is enough wire to get from battery....I just can't figure out how to mount it to the floor. It would require removing the skid plates to access the bolts...biggest pita so far!
Great product but they screwed the pooch on the mounting bracket, or lack thereof

 

bump...
any one runnng this? Other mounting ideas?

 

Yes, I am very happy with mine mounted under passenger seat. It stays warm safe clean and dry. I needed to fab a mounting plate for the floor board, then attach the arb mounting bracket to that. Ran the electrical through the pass side firewall grommet, and put the switch just behind the shifter in center console.
It's an outstanding piece of kit, airs my 35's from 10lbs in 5 minutes total. It will run air tools, just not very well due to lack of air reserve. I am adding a 2.5 gallon air tank in a week or so.

 

I received a compressor and tank for my JK. How did it go mounting the compressor to the inner wheel well? Also, any ideas on where to mount the tank. I really don't want to have to change out my muffler to make things fit like a friend of mine did. I have a stock 2010 JK Just starting to add Mods to it now.

 

I might get an exhaust That doesn't have a muffler out back and mount the tank were the old muffler sat. The I can mount the compressors inside so the won't get wet.

 

I found a way to mount it in the engine compartment. I used a dual battery tray and mounted my compressor there. Here are some pics. I still need to wire it up but the hard part is done.
