how hard was to get the wiring all the way to the front? how many pannels did you have to remove?
It's a bit of a PITA. My friend, who is good with electrical work, had to extend the control loom and run the power cables from battery, back toward fire wall, over to passenger side, through firewall, under plastic foot sills, and to the back cargo area. You have to take off the back quarter panel trim to run the wires through. To mount it there, you need to take it out to work on it. This requires taking the passenger side rear seatbelt that runs through that trim piece out as well. Also, there is a pre-drilled pass though behind the trim panel the goes to the rear passenger body corner that is big enough to run your air line through. (you're welcome) Hahaha.
Now, if all that didn't scare you away... The twin is heavy. That plastic is light and not great for supporting a mounted compressor. It "fits" in there and looks good, but it is noisy. Not the compressor running or anything. I mean, think about it. If you are pumping up tires, who the hell cares if it is making noise. It only runs initially to actuate the air locker, but it doesn't run all the time. If it does, you have a leak. If you wanted a nap, stay home. HAHAH. But... This mounting solution will cause the two plastics between the cubby hole and the quarter panel trim to "chirp" all the time. This might drive most normal people insane. I've gotten somewhat used to it.
TLDR:
Here's what I'd suggest: not in any order
Option 7: Build a bracket that puts it out of the way, (maybe above wheel well). Give some thought to future proof any rear storage plans for later. I've seen this. Fab up quick disconnects for power and control loom so you don't have to cut a bunch of wires to remove it if you need to. Ask me how I know... Maybe bake a bracket that sits in the cubby hole space that IS NOT mounted in any way to plastic.
If I could go back, and still wanted it there, I'd fab something out of molly panel type material. I'd iso-mount the unit to the fab using some sort of rubber insulated mounting solution. I'd mount it over the passenger side wheel well and make it as quick and easy a disconnect option that I could come up with. Once you run the lines without that, If you had to take it apart, you can't pass the control/power looms through the pass-through.
Option purple: Mount it in the engine compartment. This will be the easiest. You won't have to figure out how to run all that cable everywhere.
I will probably revisit my mounting later when I can. Between the armor on the outside (tire carrier) and the compressor mount on the inside, my vehicle makes a lot of noise that I could live without.
PS: I like how my TLDR is longer than the sections it offers a solution for. Hahaha
