Arb air compresser where to mount it ?

I've decided to save up for a grizzly zip or arb air locker they both work off an air compressor , but I don't want an air compressor taking up room in the cargo area of my runner. Where have you mounted your air compressor or know of a good spot to mount it ? Pictures would be really cool thanks. I know they make two sizes a small one and a large one , I'll probably go with the small one to avoid taking up space.

The only place mine will ever be is in the cab. I've seen people mount them under the hood but they're always really dirty. I fit mine behind my passenger seat sandwiched between my sub and my first aid kit. How full do your pack your 4r that your concerned about losing an area roughly the size of a box of kleenex?

On my 2gen runner I unmounted my ADD solenoids and moved them behind my fusebox then mounted the pump to fender so it layed horizontal to the hood.

So you split the compressor into two parts ? Basically

Here's my setup ... Plenty of room , do you have the 3.0 liter? Might be a little more crowded with the 3vze...

Inside roll bar, passenger side. Want to build an enclosure for it and extend air inlet higher though.
