Single or twin? I've got my single under the hood with an EVO mount. A lot of guys mount the twin under the front seat or in the rear. Pretty sure there's an under-hood mount for the twin as well by MORE or something.

Caught the Bug
Run mine under the hood. Some folks say it decreases the life of the compressor but Others swear by it. I only use it for airing up so it’s not used all that much. My buddy has it under the passenger seat and it’s annoying as hell

I have a twin mounted under the hood as well. No issues so far.

I’ve had all 3 mounts mentioned.
The Evo Mount is the way to go for the single. Cheap and easy to install.
If you have the twin and you aren’t going with a bigger brake booster/MC combo, get the MORE mount. It puts it in a good location for running all the wiring and air locker stuff.
If you have a twin and bigger B.B./MC, put it under the seat. This was my last choice for mounting but I didn’t want to modify the MORE mount and it’s a little safer under the seat. Harder to run wiring and air lockers though. Mines under the passenger seat and to have a clean install, it looks like I have to cut the major wires with the fuses to pass the wires through the fire wall, then solder back together.

Negatory. Run it through one of the drain plugs in the passenger footwell & along the frame up then up on the firewall. No cutting /soldering required. Unless you plan on deep sea Jeep driving you won't have leak issues. If you really wanted you could goop up the plug hole with silicone around the wires.
If you're interested, the whole install sequence is here - look at post 103.

Perfect man! Not sure why I hadn’t thought about that route. Appreciate it!
