I want to run on board air on my tj, and want to fit as big an airtank as possible. It needs to be outside, as I need all the seats for people.
I have heard you can get an auxiliary fuel tank for them, so there must be a little space under there somewhere!
I have just ordered all new bars and sliders, so won't be getting any made as air tanks.
Anyone know what tank fits best?
Thanks

Under the pass side. Plenty of room. Remember seeing a pic of a set up where he converted two fire extinguishers and mounted them side by side under there and put a hinged bash plate under them to protect them. Looked real trick.

I've seen one under the drivers side rear guard positioned verticle... protected and out of the way

Is it a truck wrecker? I bought my last air tank for my F150 from a truck wrecker in Dandenong, but they're gone now.

any ideas on where or who they are?

Because I have a body lift my 12 gallon tank is suspended across the top of the engine, between the two grill supports.

Hrmm, thats cool.

I looked underneath, there is about 220mm down, about the same wide, and 700mm long, space to fit a tank.
Bummer, theres a used tank for $30 buy now, but it's 850 long.
