Location to Install Breakaway Air Reservoir for Roadmaster BrakeMaster # RM-9160

Question

Question:

I just purchased the brakemaster 9160 to be installed on my 2013 jeep wrangler rubicon. I cant find an appropriate location to install the breakaway air reservoir. Where has other wrangler owners installed their reservoirs? There must be a perfect location somewhere but I cant find it. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your recent purchase from etrailer.

The most common locations for mounting the air reservoir portion of the Roadmaster BrakeMaster # RM-9160 are next to the driver's seat and under the dash near the left kick panel.

I have linked an installation video for a similar item, Roadmaster's InvisiBrake # RM-8700, which shows an application in a 2013 Wrangler. It will be necessary to temporarily remove trim panels to do the installation.
