On board air compressor mounting location ideas

[Charlie]

I've run on board air compressors on all my vehicles and I'm putting one on my recently purchased GX470.
In the past I've installed Extreme Aire compressors and they are bulletproof. The one drawback is their size, they are big and you really need space. On my old 62 it was no problem mounting it under the hood, with it plumbed to a three gallon hot dog tank mounted behind the front ARB bumper it was an awesome set up.
Now on to the GX, the space seems limited under the hood so I'm going with an ARB with no tank (don't need air tools, I switched to battery operated impact Snap on)

I'm waiting on delivery of the ARB so I'm looking for your ideas????

Cheers

Near the firewall behind the fuse block on DS or behind the airbox on the PS seems to be the norm. I would likely mount it on the PS side as there is plenty of room.
