I have tried searching alot about where you guys put your nitrous bottles.... not much luck.


I figure the easiest place is IN the bed, but that's a NO NO for me. I have no bed cover, and I don't plan on getting one anytime soon.

I have thought about some places in the cab, but I don't have ANY space at all unless I can customize my center console and mount it underneath it.

I would like a 15lb bottle, but I doubt I can pull that inside the cab.

My question is, Has anyone ever mounted the bottle underneath the bed, possibly near the rear of the truck on the driver's side away from the exhaust near the frame rail??? i looked up under there today, and it looks like it could be done. I have no spare under there, so I do have some available space. I am just concerned if I am setting myself up for a disaster or not.

 

imo is that i wouldnt mount it under there but i live in texas so the roads down here are pretty bumpy and i travel. im sure there are some that have done it. the center console thing sounds good.

 

I think under the bed you will have to worry about the roads and you will always want to check it. God for bid if it falls off and its full. I'd like to see the centerconsole idea work better. Do you have true buckets? or the bench w/fold down console?

 

With the 40/20/40. I have seen the center section removed and replaced with the bottle.

Just an idea...

 

I think I would rather have it outside passanger compartment than in it incase of some weird failure.

 

They have blow off tubes attached to the bottle, for this reason. Not a bad idea. Safety would be a concern anywhere you put it.

 

I have mine behind the passanger seat.

 

"Look son that trucks got nitrous."
"How can you tell daddy"
"Well son, you the that bottle draging behind him..."

I have had my bottle mounted under the passenger side step of my bed for about a year and it isnt going anywhere. I got the idea for under the bed when I saw a long bed OBS truck with TEN air bottles mounted under it to run air tools. If a work truck can live with ten bottles mounted under it, my street truck can handle one.

 

You could do it. The only down side will be refilling the bottle, and turning it on?

 

Do you have a stereo system that's stopping you from mounting it behind the seats? I think that's the best place for it, easy access to open-close the bottle and replacement. Checkout all the major mfg's they make a few different size and shape bottles, short-fat vs tall-skinny.
