For the 911, plan on having the pump at the front of the car.

On the hoses, it kind of depends. Mine came connected to one another, like lamp cord. I separated them, but not completely, since I felt they would be easier to roll up and store if I kept them attached to each other. That however gives you less flexibility when it comes to locating the pump. Maybe if you completely separated the lines you could run them to the back of the 911 to put the pump there, but I'm not home to measure them now.

Now that I think of it, the hydraulic line arrangement was the most disappointing part of the QJ. You can't just pull them apart, I had to use a utility knife. Really hard to do without cutting into the sheath in places, and I had to wrap portions of my lines with electrical tape where the sheath was cut. Not sure if this was an error on the part of Bendpak or not. I meant to write and complain about the lines, but never got around to it. They still work fine.

Your other power option is 12V. Since I planned to move my QJ around a lot, I went with that, and have never regretted it. Runs easily off a Harbor Freight jump start battery.
