Installing the compressor was tight and took an extra pair of hands to tighten the mounting screws, but it is very worthwhile! I paid around $200.00 for the skid plate. You need to have some lift, otherwise the skid plate is too close to the driveshaft. Without a lift mine sits 1/8" away from the shaft. Any lift at all easily clears and won't be an issue. My jeep is resting in the garage until I install my lift.....Monday, I'm installing the Currue Rock Jock suspension and Dana 60's front and rear with ARB and 4.88.....Yea!!

definately, 2.5" will offer plenty of clearance. When I jacked up my jeep the skidplate quicky dropped away from the driveshaft. 1/8 " is not workable, my jeep has been parked since. I'm installing the lift Monday.

JayK07 - I glad that you posted up that photo of the Air Source mounted in your jeep. Did it wipe out your staorage capabilities back there completely?
Lee - Did you fab that mount that you used for your tank and the evap cannister?

But I am considering one of those little $70 Smittybuilt Air Compressors
