In the back, my second-hand Dewalt tank squeezes perfectly between the bulkhead and my axleshaft crate, and it's held down with a ratchet strap to eye bolts in the floor.

The air line (all 3/8 copper) comes up from below the floor, tees off to the top of the tank, and over to a Harbor Freight hose reel. P/N 69266, 25ft, $60. I considered the 50 footer, but weight was already a consideration, and 25 is plenty to reach the whole XJ and anybody I'm parked next to.

On the front of the tank (doesn't show in the pic, sorry) is another 3/8 tee. One leg accepts the tubing, the other has a 120-150psi switch (amazon, IS-368, $11) to signal the clutch on the compressor. On top of the tank is another 175 safety. The bottom is just plugged for now, I need to plumb a valve and drain line.
