Onboard air?

Okay I've looked everywhere, and can't find my answer so I need some help from the pros... I have a Viair set up that I pulled off of my last truck. I was wondering if anyone has put a compressor and tank in their X and if so where? Pics would be great too. Thanks in advance.

I don't think I have any pictures (I'll check) but I mounted my ARB Compressor on the inside of the frame pretty much right under the driver's seat area. I mounted the Viair tank on the opposite (outside) part of the frame. That tank location is pretty central to the truck and easily accessible for plugging in pneumatic tools and hoses.

My compresser under the hood where the charcoal canister was (now zip tied to the inner fender, just underneath the previous position). Tank mounted to the frame passenger side.

7-8 pictures in my Misc Album pages 2 and 3.

Compressor and 3 gal tank inside of drivers side running boards.



Switch on the dash to run compressor and change from factory to air horns.
