I am kind of like the rear cargo area behind the plastic. The drivers side already has a power feed for a 12v circuit in place. That accessory socket is the only thing on that circuit and is on when the key is in the accessory mode. Good luck.

If you have a K&N FIPK setup, you can mount the air compressor there in the extra open space...

IIRC, my 2005 Renne is the same.

about the rear carge area behind the plastic i wonder if there is enough room in there. also i cant run this compresor on the rear outlet the compressor pulls a steady 30 amps. the outlet there the wires are way to thin for 30 amps. i would have to run 12 gauge wire from the battery under the carpet to the back. putting a k&n filter in sounds good that would give me the room for the compressor. but with a k&n filter setup i wonder about water crossings wont water get into the intake very easy.

It's going to be loud no matter where you mount it... Perhaps you could run 12 gauge or even 10 gauge wire to the rear mount it somewhere else in the back-the engine bay is just too crowded and a K&N FIPK is going to hurt you wheeling ability...

If you have abs thats where they put the computer for it. On 2006's its for the traction control, abs, and esp. Alot of people DO NOT have abs.

In the pic you can see the refrigerant reservoir and it have 2/3 used, the other 1/4 don't have anything it's blocked, can we change it for another reservoir and leave more room in there for a compressor or any other thing?

That empty part of the resevoir is a blow off space for when you over heat. It lets steam escape. I don't we should mess with it.

So since I do not have ABS, but do have that electronic module there, does that mean it's brainlesss and cab be scrapped?

Well, if you dont have abs, or the crd, i dont have a clue why the computer would be there. Maybe you have abs and do not know it? maybe they changed something for 2005? Maybe thats where they put the engine computer now?
