ok i got my OBA setup all done, but i'm to dumb to come up with any ideas how to mount a fitting at the front and rear of the vehicle. i was thinking about having one in/near the front bumper, and another in the back in/near the rear bumper.

somebody already suggested putting it under the hood, but i would like to set it up so i don't have to open the hood since i don't have any part of my system in there other than the compressor.

how/what have you guys done??? any pics???
 
What about having the hook-up for the front coming out of the cowl? I think I've seen one placed there before. twas like a 90* elbow that had a disconnect attached to it..
 
I put mine on the front bumper next to the receiver in a well protected recess. I used the one from OnBoardAir that has a dust cover, highly recommend it.
 
I only have one fitting, it is behind the gas door next to the filler. I used the bulkhead fittings found here.

I just drilled a suitably sized hole and welded in a 2" long black iron pipe nipple. Threaded a street ellbow onto it and then the Parker coupler w/dust cover like was mentioned earlier from Kilby (www.onboardair.com).

In the trunk/cargo area its the same nipple idea welded into a piece of 2" angle iron that's bolted to the body just inside the hatch. Did this since with the origianl bumper I couldn't figure a place the was moderatly easy to get to and protected.

The air tank is going away, but you can see the bracket above and left of the air tank.
