    Does anybody have any suggestions for mounting and wiring an on board air system? It's a 5 gallon tank and the compressor isnt much smaller than the tank.

    Tank... maybe under the bed.
    Compressor... that sounds big. Might look for space between the grille and AC condenser.

    Left corner off the engine bay is a good spot for the compressor.

    I would like to keep the compressor somewhat close to the tank. I don't want to run any more hose than I have to. Plus I'd have to run wires from the tank to the compressor for the pressure switch
