Default Where to mount my CO2 Tank?

Hello Everyone,

I'm new to this forum. My wife bought me a 10lbs Source CO2 tank with the mounting bracket for my 40th b-day last week and I'm not sure where to mount it. I have a 4 door JK and I was hoping some of you members with CO2 tanks can share idea's and pictures with me.
Thank you

Good to know about the hardtop, so I will also need the roll cage brackets as well. I was originally thinking to mount it on the tailgate. What do you think of that idea?

I was going to mount mine to the floor. I dont know about you but real estate is a primium when packing for a week trip. This puts it up and out of the way to pack more stuff.

NOT SURE IF YOU WANT TO MOUNT IT ANYWHERE BUT IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION AS YOU WILL GET LIQUID OUT INSTEAD OF GAS. i HAVE THE SAME MOUNTING PROB WITH MINE BECAUSE i HAVE A 20# AND THERE JUST IS NO PLACE TO MOUNT THAT SUCKER. nOW THAT i HAVE THE LOD i MIGHT TRY MOUNTING IT ON A CUSTOM RACK.

You have to send gear (screen name) a pm and ask him if he's got some pics of his install. Mounted it on the rear cage and then plumbed a line out to the bumper so he can connect and the bumper and air up...pretty sweet set up IMO.
