Where are you guys mounting your compressors?
So I installed a compressor under the hood a few months back, and once again it over heated when the time came to air back up. Im sick of it crapping out on me and I don't have money to buy a constant duty compressor right now so I decided it'll be easier to relocate my compressor inside the cabin where it will stay cooler. I'm curious as to where you guys mount your compressors in the cabin. I'm currently thinking about mounting it to the roll bar with some U bolts, but I'm very open to suggestions.

I have a harbor freight compressor. Its a good little compressor for the money (when its actually working). I just cant justify spending the money on a viair or an arb compressor right now

Have one of those little ghetto ones from Walmart thrown under the back bench. Takes about 15-20 minutes to air up tires but perfect with giving my son a snack as we wait.

I came up with a good location earlier today, very stealthy and doesnt take up any space. Ill get some pictures posted tomorrow when I finish up my modification.

I just carry my Superflo that has it's own self contained travel bag stowed away in the rear. That way I can use it on any vehicle I take. Had it for six years now, works like a champ still.

I have a harbor freights one too, don't expect to inflate all 4 tires back up all the way. I run at about 35 street, and between 10-12 trail. If I get them back up to about 20-25 I can do it before I blow a fuse on the compressor. I'll just go find a gas station or borrow someone elses OBA if needed.
I carry a little bag filled with like 50 fuses for the thing, though. I learned the hard way once, never again.
