ARB COMPRESSOR INSTALL

[Xexar]

Just finished mine. Big note here I did it all bolt on using the existing holes in the frame and super-strut. I then used zip ties to lean up all the wires and hoses.

I would run that filter up higher

Darthyota,

any suggestions on location. I don’t think anywhere else under the body will be better. I was toying with the idea of bringing it up into the seem between the bed and cab but it would be very tight.

Being you have the compressor mounted under the truck i would run it up as high as is practical for servicing it but still higher then where you think you might ever get water. Behind the tail light would be good if its not too far. Or up somewhat between the box and the cab depending on where on the frame you've mounted the compressor

Sorry for kicking an old thread, but did you purchase the bracket you mounted the switch and compressor outlet to, or make it yourself? What is it attached to?

Hi Nermol, Was the question for Wayne or me? I think Wayne fabricated his mount. I just bought some super strut from Lowes.

Surprised more are not using compressed CO2. I used ARB compressor a few times and switched to CO2. I can fill all 4 tires in under 3 minutes.

Getting the tank refilled is a little bit of a chore, but worth it to me.

I like this spot, keeps it cool, clean, out of the way and easy to access when I want to use it

Did you relocate the inverter? This looks ideal to me as you can still use the sapce under the seat. I have two car seats on the bench so the single seat is always up used to store things.

Another option im considering is custom fabricating a hinged bracket that will mount to the inverter mount that can be lifted alot with the seat.... but im liking what yo have @Darthyota have done

The steel seat base frame around the inverter is quite heavy. Just made a “shelf” to bolt the compressor down on. Just an old snapon box shelf with a couple tabs welded to it. Strong enough for my 7 year old niece to stand on. One air chuck on each side of the truck and I can reach all 4 wheels with a 15’ hose.
My initial concern was heat. So far no issues.

It uses the seat mounts to stay in place. I pulled the seat out completely so I could run wires and work. Then put the compressor and the mounting plate I made then reinstalled the seat.
