Any reason not to get an ARB twin? - CKMTA12

If I had my choice.. the ARB compressor would be the better choice.. Yet I still have plenty of space between the engine and radiator.. so I'll be looking to mount the Viair in or about that area and not back towards the firewall. But I would need a longer hose..

Vlad, I have the Twin ARB and I say BUY IT! You'll not regret it. It is too bad your winch control and fusion reactor are located where they are, that is where my ARB Twin sits, on the MORE mount. Have you considered fabbing a bracket and placing it behind either the left or right side of the ARB front bumper?
I can't quite visualize where I could put it on the side of the bumper. Do you mean under the winch/ in the bumper kind of area? There is 'some' space over there, not sure if it is this much. Also would want it further in the engine bay as up here we get rain or snow year round and all the trails have mud holes you have to get through. The front area is just hit every time with gunk. I was thinking of mounting it under the passenger seat and just making my own bracket for it. If you have the 3.8 there is enough room to actually mount an air tank in between and if you wanted to, both of the compressors on top of it (or one). I haven't priced what air hose goes for but would imagine it can't be that much? Hoping to run a couple lines so I have a spot to hook up in the drivers footwell and one in the back. So hope its reasonably priced!

Another vote of confidence is good! I can't quite visualize where I could put it on the side of the bumper. Do you mean under the winch/ in the bumper kind of area?

No idea what size compressor this is but gives you an idea that you can mount a 2 gallon up front.

Personally I would go with the VAIR. I have the basic $199 set up that i bought for my 2012 and now have in my 2013 Rubi, from DOR. It inflates my 35's plenty fast, and although I dont have ARB lockers I believe you can get the necessary hardware to do it. I just wish they would come out with a kits with the air tank for the 2012+'s.
