maybe by the T-case, but if you put a rock into it, kiss you stupid goodby. Check out Bimba, they have some great little tanks for air, I got a few, and can post pics if you like. These things don't hold alot, but are small, and well made.

In the trunk?

yeah im tryinig to find a "safe" (crash free zone) :twisted:

place to put it and its getting hard to find.... inside is tight for space bc i use my trunk all the time..... and the TC is sketchy bc im off road all the time... thanks for the ideas tho.

... I am thinking about ordering a trail redy rear bumper and was wondering if i could fit the tank between that and the crumple zone it bolts up to.. any one know how much room there is between them :?:

i know if i dident have a winch in my ARB it would fit right in with room to spare.... it would be great if i could do that to the back bumper :twisted:

Good luck. Their website still lists them and something about redesigning them, but that's been the case for the last couple years at least. You'd have much better luck getting a Rock Lizard rear bumper.

Get a roof rack and place it on the rack. Just as long as the KJ still fits into your garage (if you use/have one).

You could possibly put it in the trunk area if you took out the panelling. There is a lot of wasted space behind that plastic.

I have been wondering about that myself...Does anyone know roughly how much wasted space there is behind those panels...It seems like there might be a lot...Which brings me to the question...why is there so much space behind those panels?

what about inside the rear door?, there is a litle plastic window, you can use it to put the conectors for the air.

IM not sure how you would do that with out hurting the air hoses when u open and clos ur door

you have to install every thing on the inside and run only the wires, and use the pastic window to install an quick air connector

Not entirely sure if it will fit here or not but under the rear passenger seat behind the driver...I know in my '06 there is a huge cap underneath there...then you could run wires through the floor if need be....just a thought...
