I'm just waiting for the mounts to come in. Initially, it looks like everything will fit under the floor. I'll take some measurements and pics once it's finished and not so embarassing.

Is there a clean/easy way to mount the V2 to the Exo mount?

I'll answer my own question. No...not really. Unless you make your own bracket. There's any number of ways to do that. I ended up making two flat brackets that attached to the Exo mount and then to the V2. I just used material I had on-hand. There's several ways to do this pretty easily, or just make an entirely new mount, which would be easy too. Just needs to be about 1.25" wider than the Exo mount.

With all that said, it's not fitting the way I wanted it too, so I'm changing my install plan and may be abandoning the Exo mounts entirely.

Ok, so yesterday I took a stab at installing thhe tank and compressor. This is v 2.0. But it did get everything under the cover and in the spare tire area.

Not too pretty, but functional for now. I'll see how I like it and if I want to make more changes before I cut down the air lines and clean up the wiring.

The box frame was constructed of 1x6. It sits flush with the foam towards the front of the car. I added some feet on the rear end of it to bring it up to level. It supports the cover well, so no worries about throwing stuff in the trunk. The remaining wood in the construction was 1x4 to stabilize the box and provide a place to mount the manifold. I used less than 6' of 1x6 and 6' of 1x4. I used a brad nailer to assemble it. The water separator is mounted on the right side using plumber strap.

Great write-up!

When you had the Work XD9 on 18x10 +18 with the 225 tire, how much clearance were you away from the bag? I have a set of ZE40 wheels in 18x10 +40 but looking to put a 20 mm spacer on it and probably run a 235 or 245 tire with Todoroki front fenders. Will I have the required clearance from the bag with 18x10 +20 up front?

Do the bags deflate when you turn the ignition off?

have you guys had any clunking issues with this kit in the rear? fronts are perfect but rears are clunking. i've tried driving at 45psi and 30psi and still clunks every now and then.
