trunk, in the engine bay, or underneath the Jeep. Several companies make mounts to fit this type of setup do a little searching in the On Board Air setup threads for a better idea.

I have my tank behind the radiator. There is plenty of room there to mount it. Plus you won't have to run hoses everywhere.

I also have mine installed in front by the radiator. I had it professionally installed though. Plenty of room there. There wasn't enough to put it in the engine bay. I've got a '12 Rubi.

Most of the tanks I have seen, like others have said, are mounted right behind or in front of the radiator. Now the real question, where you putting those horns?

And post up some pics when done, this is something I would like to do.

That's a tight fit. I would be nervous about that spot.

That is the most common mounting spot. Other options are, in cab by the roll bar, or underneath chassis in front of the gas tank.

No reason to be... The mounts will let the engine rock side to side a bit, and maybe move up and down a bit. But it's pretty solidly fixed for front/back motion. I'd be surprised if it could move more than a tenth of an inch or so that way.
