How are you going to keep your beer kegs carbonated if you get rid of the CO2?

I don't know. I'm mostly worried about how close I will have my Guacamole and Chips near me when I'm offroad

I'm doing a similar project right now. I have a CO2 tank but its too big/$$$ to refill ($50 per tank). I'm going to mount the air compressor where the SLS air compressor used to be. You can either try and fit the compressor to the old mount, or grind it off and bolt it to the frame. You can make breather tubes to lift up the air intake in case of water crossings. If you don't fancy that, check out DiscoStu on instagram. You can see on his highlighted stories where/how he mounted it.

pass side in the engine bay off the back side of the wheel well works well for me. I don't have secondary air crap in the way however.

That is very cool but it wont work for me. That spot is submerged in mud every time I go offroad.

I don't have secondary air either. I'm going to put it back where the CO2 bottle is

can run a breather line if concerned. I've sunk mine without one and haven't had an issue running my locker (obviously not running it while it's submerged). I don't like the noise of one in the cabin personally.

Totally get the noise issue. My SIngle behind the back panel is pretty quiet. Not enough room in there for a dual air...I don't think
