Mounting a c02 bottle.

[rudogg760]

Would those quick fist mounts work? And would I be able to mount it vertically? I have a 96 if that makes a difference

Maybe a fire extinguisher mount n bolt to floor?

Let me know what you figure out. Tired of the slow air compressor. I need something quicker!

Its amazing. I aired up my tire from 20 psi to 40 psi in about 40 seconds.

I went to my local airgas and got the bottle for $127, they filled it for $6 first time n $20 after, and the 150 psi fixed regulator was about $66. So in total I spent $219. I could have gotten stuff a lil cheaper online but I was impatient lol

Vertical would be the best position, because c02 is a liquid, you want the vapors off the top not liquid into your regulator. No reason those mounts shouldn't work

any idea on where to mount it with the quick fist? ive seen a lot op people mount it horizontally but when they need to use it they take it out. i will be taking it out to use it as well. the sides of the cargo area seem all plastic

This might help

Built my CO2 tank mount over the past few days. Basically, behind the plastic, I welded in a cross member that this bolts into. You can basically just spin the actual clamp part off in about 15 seconds and it will be as if nothing was ever there before. Super beefy, hoping it doesn't move. All I have to do is roll down the rear window to air up.

did you drill it into the floor? or make a mount to the side? and where did you get that bracket?

The bracket came with the tank when I ordered it. I think I ordered it all from TRDPARTS4U and it is made by "The Source".
It is drilled into the plastic panel and then it has two fairly stout pieces of metal that go behind the panel that act as a brace. I believe I then put one screw in the floor so it would keep the bottom from moving around and loosening up the side mount.

Behind that interior plastic piece, you'll see a metal brace near the fuel filler, and then you have the wheel well. I welded in a boxed piece of steel in-between those 2 pieces of metal and that is what my CO2 mount screws on to.

I should have taken more pictures, my bad.
