    Does it matter how the orientation (upside down, sideways, etc.) of the little round vacuum bottle is in the bumper. Trying to fit mine in my new bumper.

    IMG_2414.jpg I found out it doesn't matter how you mount it as long as it is secure. I used one screw from the unit and nutplate through a hole in the fender cross member (triangle shape) behind the headlight and next to the horn. Fit up there perfect without rubbing and secured the upper leg to the cross member with a long zip tie.

    Made sure the plug was in all the way and zip tied the hose so it wouldn't rub anywhere. There is at least 2 inches all around the bottle from the frame, light frame and fender. Actually I don't know why Jeep didn't put it there in the first place.
