No arguments about mounting it in the bed...but i'm a little bit afraid of
having it ripped off.

   There are both clearance and safety issues with putting the bottle

unless you've got a really small bottle. Plus, if you want to mount it
inside, you'll need to look into a blowoff tube that vents outside.
Its not only a safety item, but some tracks may not let you run without one.
Plus, most of us have seen the pics of that bottle in the mazda that blew
up. Granted, if you use the system properly, that shouldn't happen, but
if you were to leave the bottle warmer on and all the safeties failed, I'd
want as much sheet metal between myself and that bottle as possible. :-)
My opinion: in a truck, the best place for the bottle is in the bed...
(Mount it on the right hand side to help out in the traction dept.)
