Help me decide where to mount air compressor

[Cascade253]

I'm torn between these three options for mounting an ARB twin compressor. Looking for feedback from anyone that has either had these mounts or mounted them in a similar position and your pros and cons. Also going into a diesel so underhood/wheelwell is not an option for me.

under the rear seat you can store other things

behind the rear seat you can store other things

under the front passenger seat you're unlikely to store anything else. One things about that position though: you're blocking the floor vent for air for the rear seats. Not great for your rear passengers, BUT a compressor's primary enemy is heat, so it does give you the opportunity to blast the cool from the floor position and help keep things cool while running it. Pros and cons.

I haven’t thought it through completely as far as usage but I like the behind the driver rear seat location because it’s out of the way but you have to have a thin pump like the ARB (I have the Smittybuilt which is too thick) and put a heat shield on the back of the seat
I like that enclosed the Pickle_Bill linked to also.

I have mine mounted under my front passenger seat. It's easy to access and doesn't take up any additional storage space. Sure it's blocks the vents but the cab is tiny and the vents up higher still work.

I looked at that one too, might be an interesting option for integrating some 12v outlets and switches for the bed

Any particular reason why you mounted it on the passenger side instead of the driver side?
