Reg cab stepside bottle mounting
I know there's a thread running around with lots of pics of how folks have mounted their bottles.
Between the seats is a popular way or just behind the middle seat but I am looking for this to be completely hidden out of plain sight. Either behind the driver seat somewhere, in the dash somewhere, inside the bedside (stepsides have lots of room or even under the bed, like tucked up behind the bumper...
I don't care how it needs to go in, I just want it not to be seen. So if I have to remove the siphon tube out of the bottle and mount it with the valve down, that's fine too...
I know there's tons of ways to do it and I have some 'different' ideas of mounting it myself, but I'm trying to get all these pics compiled in one thread instead of doing like I have and searching for the last hour and only finding a handful of pics.
The rest of my system will be 100% untraceable unless you basically dismantle the truck and interior. I won't be running a plate, or a nozzle, or a direct port so please don't ask to see how my kit will be setup. I'm not ready to throw those pics out there yet, but will eventually....
I'd like to conceal a 15lb bottle.... But a 10 will work if space constraints say it has to.

I mounted mine in behind the passenger seat under the plastic storage compartment where the jack goes. When I was looking for a spot though I found a really good one but my 16ft main line was not long enough because I was trying not to make a whole in the bed.
There is a big void by the rear tires between the bed and the wheel well on the step side where you can mount it to. Search for my install thread and you will see what I am talking about. I might have more pics stored on my pc that are not in the thread. I will look for them if they are not on the thread.
You can run the line through the frame rail all the way to the back easily.

I don't have a bed cover and dont plan on getting one. No offense, but that's kinda boring lol.
I know there's gotta be room behind the wheel in that big fender flare/bedside, but getting a feed line that long would be a pain haha. I was thinking about maybe putting it under the step on the pass side bed side and having the step removable for bottle and valve access.

The supplied 16ft line would have worked for me if I wanted to mount it under the truck between the frame and bed side at the rear tire but I was going to mount it in the bed by the tailgate so the line was not long enough.

Yeah, that's one of the places I was looking at. I've also looked at building a bracket to mount my bottle and battery where the spare used to be. This way, depending on exactly where it was located I could just reach behind the bumper and open/close the valve... Remote openers are nice but I don't trust them...
