So i am finally replacing my junk in-tank pump with an Air Dog 150. I started to mock the pump up on my truck and found that its a very tight squeeze to get the air dog mounted on the inside of my frame between the tank and the t-case. **** shortbed... So anyway, can anyone tell me if fabricating a bracket and mounting the pump in the location in just described but perpendicular to the frame rail would not be a good idea? Mounting the pump like this looks good to me and it would also get some protection from the tail of the stock skidplate. I would gusset the bracket so that vibration and tweaking due to rough roads would not be an issue. Thanks for any input!

 

No reason it wouldn't work. I say go for it!

 

Alright well i am now on the hunt for materials. I will post up pics when i have it completed.

 

I think airdog has a different bracket for your application, call them I think they will send you the right one, instead of the standard bracket

 

Thanks for the info nickg, i will call pureflow on monday and see what they have.

 

You are most likely going to have to get creative on mounting on a short bed quad cab.

 

i drilled and tapped my frame and used one of the mounting plates an drilled holes in it, mounted the pump to the plate then mounted the plate to the frame. it came out great, but i didnt have transfer case in the way

 

sorry about not updating the thread. i ended up welding up an "L" shaped bracket with a piece of angle along the back for rigidity. it is working great so far, but its definately a squeeze. the pump is sitting about 3/4" from the tank and the back of the bracket is about an inch from the back of the t-case. if i have some time i will snap a picture and post it up.

 

i put mine right under the quad cab part on the outside of the frame and works great easy to get to the filters
