here is mine. I used the line that comes with the comps. to run the line up into the bed. If it sucks water in the comps then they will lock up, and then u might get it to work agin if you get the water out. but so far i have had no problems and i drive mine every day untile i can get the honda put back together.daily even in the snow, after thought

I have mounted several Viair compressors under the bed on daily drivers and I have never had one come back. If you don't feel comfortable mount the tanks under the bed and put the compressors in the bed or relocate the filters somewhere where they won't get wet.
