Ric,
It was actually fairly easy to mount. I had to move the cruise control bracket forward and another elect. thing below the cruise forward. I used the front mounting hole(on the fender) on the rear of the bracket, so the front mounting hole is not used. I had to bend the bracket a little to make it flush with the body mount on top. The bottom mount used the original hole in the inner fender cover. I made a flat mounting plate for the comp. and mounted it to the inner fender cover using existing bolt hole. I will hard wire the comp. to the battery tomorrow.

Might get wet when you splash through puddles if it were in/under the stock front bumper.

If heat from the engine bay were a serious concern, why not just make an insulating cover for it that would protect it?

Well the store found the other 4 compressors yesterday. As of right now, I have access to 1 (maybe 2 of them) of them. My friend is keeping one, and I am keeping an extra for our other vehicle. If anybody wants one let me know. Though, I think with shipping, the cost is going to be around $40. I won't know until I can get one and weigh/measure it for UPS.

Was thinking about mounting it under the hood but with a small fan behind it. Somthing on the order of a computer fan. Others who have them say there is no problem with them getting hot under the hood but they will get warm as you are airing up several tires. That little fan would really help that.....I think Mike
