Note how the older style air bag would have interfered. I took the smaller airbag from the crawler. I either should put the older one on the crawler with blanks removed or find another smaller air bag.
Isn't it possible to cut the arms off the older style cover to use it with cruise control? The airbag itself is in the center portion.

people can get into big trouble if they knowingly and willingly ship explosive devices through the mail.

Imagine if a postal worker was carrying the box and accidently bump into the wall, and the air bag activates itself and deploy into his face, possibly breaking his neck. Lol

This, it's up to a $100k fine and jail time, as well as paying for any damages.

i'd use the 2gal it would make mounting and routing a bit easier as one unit.

I am going a different route with my OBA setup.

compressor mounted on custom plate where OEM A/C compressor is and run the leader hose back to air tank in the hatch, mounted where spare would be

In front of the gas tank is the best spot I've found for mounting things
