Default Mounting Air compressor

I've got an MV-50 compressor left over from my Early Bronco days. I've looked under the hood and didn't see anywhere to mount it. What are people doing for to mount a smalle electric compressor?

My ARB compressor is mounted under the drivers seat. It is a little noisy when it runs but is out of the weather. I have seen others that have mounted thier compressor inside the rear fender behind the pass. tail light.

There is also a bracket available for under the hood mounting--> http://www.northridge4x4.com/proddet...ARB-JK-BRACKET

You might just have to drill a couple holes to match the bolt pattern on your compressor.

I mounted one of mine behind the passenger tail light and then the other one inside the rear storage.

I have mine mounted in front of the battery. It is a small compresser but it will fill 150 psi in 4 min
