Default Mounting Viair Air Tank

So I recently added an ARB twin compressor and mounted it on the MORE engine bay mount. My question is that there is no space to mount the 2.5 gallon tank underneath so I am thinking of mounting it the roll bar in the rear with some clamps. Anyone have a similar setup or have any ideas on where to run the air hose from compressor to tank and then back from tank to exterior to an easy access coupler?

Dominion OffRoad Jeep JK Ultimate OBA Air System with 2 Gallon Air Tank and In-Cab switch and Pressure Gauge | JeepSWAG

You could by this mount from Dominion Offroad. We did this in my buddies rig and it worked out well. Fits nice and snug between the radiator and crank pulley.

Is your setup in the stock storage tub, or an enlarged one? I kind of want to put a tank in there on mine, and either put an ARB twin under the seat, or try and fit 2 Viairs in there.

Not my setup. I'm running compact ARB under the hood...

Most people disagree with my mounting technique as they say to much cargo space lost but with the tanks in more than 2 years I have yet to have an issue with storage. Also between the tanks and fenderwell makes good storage for my machete and ax.



I have a big Gray plastic box with an interlocking lid that sits perfectly between the tanks. I dont have a picture of it in though.


Edit:

Found it

I saw a JK where the owner mounted a compressor in the cavity behind each tailight. River Raider makes a nice underbody skid plate/mount for the tank.
