GEN 2 On board air compressor and tank install

[Jakenbake]

Have the same compressor mounted in the bed and have had issue with the relays rusting out. Water in the air compressor. Don't recommend mounting under the truck

I assuming you are talking about the ARB twin? If so I am considering remote mounting the two air intakes up under the bed rail bed hind the builtright bed racks to help with keeping them away from the elements a bit more.

On the relays did you replace them with a more weather resistant relay or factory?


I am likely going to switch to a vertical tire carrier/bypass rack which then I’ll need to permanently remove my bed cover.

I believe OP did a good job with install.
But, I personally, would avoid mounting anything underneath the truck.
( esp here in NYS, between the weather, road salt, debris, pot holes, etc..)
I mounted mine on the Bed, with the Builtright panel.

@ShadowRaptor where did you get that molle style mounting plate? I'm thinking about doing this myself in my pending overland build. do you need the additional batteries to run this set-up, or is the stock battery config good enough? did you wire to an accessory switch in the cab?
