Arb compressor
The harness on my twin mad it from under the passenger seat to the engine, with not much to spare. I routed through the plastic race near the door and up through the firewall under the battery.
Well installed my ARB twin compressor, 1 gallon air tank and manifold. After a lot of searching found the perfect spot for the air tank. Under the passenger floor board. Unbolt the cross member and it fits perfect and away from anything. I bought a bracket for the compressor to mount under the seat, from buyplease on eBay. Easy bracket to install and awesome instructions. Made a bracket to mount the manifold from 1 1/2 steel plate. Drilled holes in each end and ran it under the rear seat bolts. Then bolted the manifold to the plate. Ran the lines beside the gas tank and into a drain plug. Will post pics later. Thx for all the help

I mounted a twin under the hood and a tank under the body. The tank is a smaller Firestone model, maybe 1/3 gallon. It still serves the purpose of keeping the compressor from cycling needlessly, and it provides a nice inrush of compressed air to engage the lockers.
I did not use the ARB manifold because it doesn't have enough ports. Ended up building one with a handful of brass tees and nipples. Works great!

Hey all,
I still don't even have a Jeep yet, (life got in the way) but I am decided on the 2011+ 4door Rubi.
In my research, I do know that I will want a compressor and tank for airing up, stocking the campfire lol etc.
This is a plan Ive thought about even went to the dealer today to check out the cargo area, I think it can work.
Yea, I know, this is a Toyota FJ, please forgive me lol


I know this will need to be tweaked a bit for the JK, but the basic idea is the same.

IMHO its real nice to have tank full of stored air, Ive been through 3 yes 3 ARB compressors and wont buy another, but having a tank is nice, in my experience it fills up tires faster than from a straight ARB compressor here at altitude. When camping and you want to stoke the fire, its real nice to have that air in the tank, but that's me, having a tank full of air is better than waiting on a slow compressor for a few reason.
I haven't felt the need for a tank yet...
If your at altitude or doing more than just airing up, you might want to try and fit in a tank, but you can go without it and add it later if you're unsure
