Some of the smallest problems can become a major head ache. I can not find a good location ( tucked under frame , away from belt , away from exhaust ) for my located filter. I am stumped , I been out in the garage for hours just trying to find a decent spot. So where did you guys put yours ?

Where the carbon canister was is where I put my oil filter. Also allows for me to put in an oil cooler if I want to because of being close to the radiator.

Thinking of mounting mine down either outside frame by steering box or up on where the charcoal canister was.

I put mine on the driver side of the front clip above the frame about the middle of the radiator. I believe it's where the charcoal canister was.

OK.... Thanks guys . I ended up making a "L" bracket and mounting it on the frame driver's side in front of the collector. My goal was to keep it away from moving parts ( steering ) tucked up near the frame . Thanks for everyone's input.
