On my last Jeep (TJ) I ran a York compressor as my OBA. It was a nice set up but had a few drawbacks. Broke a belt once and left the Jeep stranded, could only use when the Jeep was running, which became and issue if you needed to work on the Jeep itself on the trial.
I have two rigs now and I was needing something that could be easily moved from one rig to the next. (Trail clean up truck and my JK).
I personally did not want to mess with trying to find and old tank and coble together a C02 system. I simply wanted to do it right from the start and know that I had a quality system.
Mounting is the first issue I have.
-The JK is really just a very expensive dog crate for me. So I need to leave as much space available for gear and pups.
-I picked up the roll bar mounts and temporarily put the tank out of the way on the roll bar. What you will see in a second it this location would prevent the softtop from working.
Both pups inspected the location and their new crate mate in great detail as I was trying to get you guys photos.
The bracket itself and the red anodized roll bar clamps are awesome! The roll bar clamps fit perfectly over the roll bar padding without having to cut it. They also come with rubber so that if you wanted to fit them to a bare roll cage you could.
The problem you will see in this photo is that the location of the tank works perfectly with the hard top on, but is totally in the way of the soft top mount right above it. Thoughts?

Here is tank mounting location option #2, but it also has problems. As you can see it blocks access to the floor cubby.
Location option #3. Actually looks to be the best spot, since it does not block the floor cubby, or the soft top, but now it takes up floor space, and you can see Foster is not happy about that location already.
Any other ideas?
There is nothing more manly than more gauges!!! The Powertank tire inflator is AWESOME all by itself. Fluid filled!!! The shrader valve connector clips on for hands free opperation.
You can also see the two gauges on the tank. The top one is the pressure in the tank when the tank valve is open. The bottom one is your pressure regulator setting. The gauge reads from left to right, "Lockers", "Tools" and "Tires".
