There are several versions of the arb compressor. The little one is lockers-only, the middle one is lockers and tire inflation, the new one is like two of the middle sized ones put together.
Northridge put together a nice kit that includes an under-hood mounting bracket for the compressor.

Several companies also have mounting brackets to put a tank under the radiator. I'll be adding this to my arb setup (the one above) at some point.

I saw another one by River Raid but it goes by the evap canister and we have to relocate it. Since I read a few reports os problems when we move the evap around I am not very fond of this idea.
Which other companies make brackets to mount the tank by the radiator? That seems to be a good spot.

Just received the Heavy Duty Viair OBA that I got from 4WD. They are running a promo giving out another Viair compressor that I'll leave in my wife's car.
I tried to place the 2.5 gallons tank between the radiator and engine like in the Dominion's setup but cannot see it fitting there. So, may either have to go with the canister relocation solution under the Jeep or on the Or-Fab carrier. Just saw that the tank fits well there if I lift the gas cans.
So, a question I have. What is the max length we can run the compressed air hose from compressor to tank? I am still thinking about mounting the compressor under the hood in the engine compartment.
I am avoiding placing the compressed air tank in the passenger compartment for safety reasons.

Works fine. Was out wheeling with my buddy who has the exact same compressor and we used his to fill up his four 35" tires and my four 32" tires. Not as fast as a big stand alone unit and would probably be faster with an air tank but it got the job done alright. I've got no complaints about it yet. I use it on my tires all the time.
