I mounted mine under the hood with a custom bracket. I mounted my air tank under my rear seat (the rear seat will no longer be folded flat with this). I plumbed them together with 3/8" flexable tubing. Here's a link

It should also fit nicer on the back door. Would it be possible for you to get pics of your friends installation?
I'm curious how he accessed the inside of the door. Curious if once the stock tire carrier is removed if you have easy access to it.

Haven't searched for the leak as it's very minimal and it doesn't bother me. That high temp hose came with the ARB manifold kit that I bought. There are other manifolds out there that you can buy but I bought that one as it's designed specifically for use with ARB locker sylanoids. The compressor has a built in pressure switch that cuts power at 160psi. That's what my tank fills up to.

So the compressor fitting I used are all 1/4 npd. I also have a hose that is a 1/4 NPD. Im buying a tank that has 2 ports for 1/4 and 2 for 3/8ths.
Will it matter that the feeder hose to the tank is 1/4 and the air tools I use will be using 3/8th?
Logically you would think i'd be using more air from the tank faster than the compressor could refill it. My thought however is that since the exit port from the compressor is 1/4, that hooking of a 3/8th would increase volume but decrease PSI thus not changing anything. Thoughts?
