Hey All,
so I purchased the viair constant duty on board air system with 2.5 gal tank and will be installing and mounting this weekend. I've done a search and have seen some pretty cool installs, but i cannot decide between 2 locations.

Here's what I have it narrowed it down to:

1) Tank above the driver's side wheel well (directly across from factory sub), compressor mounted in jack storage area.

Pros: Easily accessable, Compressor/tank will not be affected by debris/dust/water, it will be easier to drain condensation from inside of tank
Cons: Takes up a good amount of space, compressor will be loud and easily audible when it kicks on from that location, and I'm concerned about the compressor overheating from it's small storage space.

OR:

2) both compressor and air tank UNDER the truck, mounted in front of the rear bumper.
Pros: Set it and forget it, Compressor will be less audible from that location, tank and compressor will not be taking up precious cargo space.
Cons: THE ELEMENTS! I'm worried about the tank being nailed by a rock and EXPLODING (or sustaining damage period), and the compressor being damaged by water (ie scuba driving). It will also be more difficult to drain condensation from the tank in this location, because the tank will be mounted sideways and the drain valve will no longer be on the absolute bottom of the tank.

So FJCRUISERFORUMS--WHAT WOULD YOU DO???

Thanks for your help and insight...I'm open to any and all suggestions and advice.
