Well I finally found a spot to put my air tank. I was just about to drill some holes in my sliders for air tanks and decided to try and find a spot for the tank one last time.
I ended up sliding the tank over the rear diff and installing it above the drive shaft between the fuel tank and muffler. There is about 2" to spare between the shaft and tank under full compression. The hardest part was trying to drill the holes in the right location. The holes must be drilled from below so I made a template but it was still a b...h.
Because of the closeness to the muffler, I was concerned about the tank heating up and the pressure increasing, so I also installed a pressure relief valve.
Using a QA2, it takes 2 minutes to fill up. All I need now are the lockers.
Shows where the holes were drilled. Tank resting on diff.
Note the larger holes drilled in the front so I could get a socket on top and align the hole with the tank.
Tank installed.
