Default Where are you mounting your A/W Tanks?

I've been trying to figure out where I'm going to mount my tank and just can't figure it out. I'd like to keep it out the the T-Top area, but then again I want to keep the back seats....any ideas?

Depends...you could always fab up a fender mount. But I would try to get it as a high point in the system to catch air. I am putting mine in the trunk.

What did you use for the body of the tank? I like the idea...I might just have to use it as a model for mine...

Mine is in the trunk which I know does not help you much but the guy that built it can build you one to fit anywhere you want and the price is really affordable PM me if you want his info. Mine is 11 gallons and has a Rule 2000 pump inside the tank.

Sorry for dragging up an older post but does anyone have any idea where those ice box tank lids can be found. I've been searching McMaster-Carr, Grainger, Google and LS1tech for an hour and can't seem to strike the right keyword.
I might wind up building an aluminum tank, but want an opening big enough to add ice through.
