Fender mounted ARB Twin?

[Pyroladine]

Yep

 

[Un4seen4]

I used this mount https://813fabrication.com/products/jeep-jl-arb-single-compressor-taillight-housing-mount and a brushless single ARB compressor. I routed an air line and a chuck right next to the rear tow electrical connection. I also use this https://thorslightningairsystems.co...eflation-and-inflation?variant=46317789315328 when I air up, that way i just walk away and yak at my fellow jeepers while it does its thing. Seems to work well so far!

that is perfect!

The Grimm would prob work. No idea what you’d do for a windshield washer reservoir though.

I have not heard that... Based on where they connect to the Jeeps systems, I don't see why they would be dependent. The Tazer plugs into the security gateway, and the NoLimitz connects to the CAN bus star connector.

Their support has been pretty helpful in the past, you could shoot them a message.

Thanks. I’ll check into it

I'm still looking to mont an ARB Twin to get a little better air than what the OEM compressor offers, but I Really don't want it inside under the seat for two reasons, I have the seat jackers installed, which I think preclude me from mounting anything under the front seats, and I'm really not keen on all of the noise/heat inside the cabin.

I had the brilliant idea to relocate the battery and place a compressor there, but the battery location bracket I bought goes right where the passenger side exhaust runs.

Then I saw this today: https://dv8offroad.com/collections/...-bay-compressor-mount-for-arb-ckmta12-cmjl-01

It appears to go inside the drivers side wheel well, behind an aftermarket fender.

I know that the washer tank is right there, but Motobuilt makes a relocated one: https://motobilt.com/products/windshield-washer-fluid-tank-relocator-kit-for-jeep-jl-jlu-392


Anyone tried this? Think it would work?

To package the monsterous 392 in the engine compartment, several items were relocated into the fender wells. Therefore, there’s no room to mount a compressor there.
A few few companies make kits to install the compressor on the tailgate. At least one company mounts it on the inside, and at least one other company mounts it on the outside behind the spare tire. I do prefer to have the compressor in the cabin because it will last longer. Despite the compressor being water resistant, nothing truly is waterproof. I’m not a fan of adding any additional weight to the tailgate. Someday I will have a 38 inch tire there.
I installed the American adventure lab mass cargo shelf, and I installed the compressor to the bottom side of that. I ran zero gauge wire from the engine compartment along the driver side foot well and to the cargo shelf. Now I have 12 V at the back for other accessories. I installed a positive and a negative bus bar on the bottom side of the shelf to distribute power to the various accessories. I also installed the compressor switch to the bottom side of the shelf. I installed my air Chuck on the shelf.

I think you need the Tazer first, right? It’s my understanding that the No Limitz won’t work without it.

The NoLimitZ works perfectly all by itself. No Tazer needed.

Could you share any photos - and anything you'd change if you were to do it again? Agree on not putting anything outside that I can keep dry/inside.

I mounted mine inside on driver's side. Don't mind the noise during tire fill and air tank top off while driving is short lived.
Installed 2 valves with 4 gall tank. One for tire fill and one for train horns
Air chucks under front seats for tire fill.
Happy with the setup.

 

[Earl 392]

What if you disable ESS and remove the aux battery? Will that give you enough room?

I will take some photographs tomorrow during the daytime.

Interesting topic, s I am considering transferring my ARB twin compressor + tank from the portable box kit to permanent in the car.
I believe the twin compressor is doable however the tank could be a challenge as the 392 has limited space under body/ engine bay. , etc…
Has anyone succeeded in installing the tank as well? And where?

If using the compressor system for inflating tires the tank gets you nothing really. There is a guy on a different forum who did a thorough test of inflating tires with and without a tank as part of a system and repeated it a few times. Regardless of weather he inflated 1,2 or 4 tires at a time he only made up a couple of seconds compared to running with no tank. I had a hard time believing it until I saw the data. Of course if running an air horn or tools a tank is beneficial.

Honestly, if i had bought the kit, I’d have kept it as such. It’s a lot of work to get the compressor hard mounted. It makes sense if you have air lockers. But it prevents you from using it anywhere your Jeep isn’t. Just my two cents.

I agree a tank is not needed for inflation. ARB claims the manifold and tank are required for temperature control since the compressor gets hot. But I don’t have either.

Huh, was not aware of compressor temperature driving tank needs. I added mine for volume to fire the train horns.

 

[Keithbickford]

The hose gets hot. Maybe the person that got burned with McDonald’s coffee got burned by their compressor fitting.

 

[Winston]

Thanks. I’ll check into it

They're independent products. You do not need one for the other to work.

 

[Winston]

I will certainly acknowledge that WY weather is vastly different than FL but I am never inside the vehicle when running the air compressor to air up. To me the vibration and heat are non issues. If its very cold outside when airing up, what's wrong with extra heat?

I also have had seat jackers and I think they will make it easier to install under seat. I did remove them because I did not find them more comfortable but I have dealt with them.

I can attest that the ARB twin fits under the seat with seat jackers. I had to install them after installing ArmorLite. If you don't have them, there is a crossbar under the seat that'll hit the electronics on the ARB Twin as the seat is slide back and forth.

Hi Winston. What year is yours? The 2024 has electric seats. And at just 5’10”, they don’t go down far enough even for me. I wouldn’t want seat jackets on mine for sure.

 

[ParadigmDawg]

Under the passenger seat, with Seat jacker is perfect. I kick my AC on high and turn it to floor and it keeps it nice and cool.

It takes 5 minutes to air up 40s from 10 to 29 so tell your wife to get out and get you a beer during that time.
