    Looking to mount two air horns and a compressor to the truck so after I air down at the beach I can refill from the horn compressor. Anyone do this before?

    I looked into this, before spending my money elsewhere :jester:
    The inside of the frame, or behind the grill are two good places, all depends on the size of horns. Most people mount the compressor under the hood or in a tool box to keep them out of the weather and dust.

    Make sure you size your compressor to your tires
    You will burn a compressor out if its to small

    What is it going in? I would recommend under the hood on top of a fender or against the firewall

    I believe he has an expedition. So under the hood would be the best place

    Don't see any spots for under the hood. If have to mount tanks as well to hold the air

    Tanks get mounted to the frame rails.

    If you don't have any room under the hood... The rear quarter panels usually pull up on the inside, I think the factory jack and stuff get stored there. See if it'll fit back there.
