Mounting a PowerTank type CO2 to a 17+ Colorado

Just wondering what solutions are out there for mounting a 10lb CO2 tank to the bed of a CC ZR2 with a tonneau cover installed. Looks like it needs to be at an angle to fit underneath and I know PowerTank sells a bed mounting kit, but I haven't found much else out there. View attachment 377801

You can mount it horizontally, but make sure you have the snorkel tub upgrade.

I wish I would have seen that before ordering; it seems like the simplest solution -

I just started looking into a Powertank rather than the ARB compressor. I figured that this would be the best way to store it in the bed.

The nice thing about the powertank is the portability. That snorkel is only needed if you are filling the tires while the tank is mounted horizontal. For me I would prefer a strap that can be easily removed so I could carry the tank from tire to tire

One thing to note: I have always been against drilling, but just recently mounted a fridge slide and a powertank mount for a 5lb propane tank by drilling holes in the bed and using rivnuts. It is... Insanely easy. Not to mention super clean looking.

Not sure if you are against drilling or not. I just know I was before and now see the light.

I think 589 fab has some side mounting solutions

Careful with rivnutz. drill your hole too large and they will spin and they're and PITA to drill out.

The snorkel gives you both options though, is that such a bad thing?
