Default Where did you mount your ARB Twin?

Just picked up an ARB twin compressor and need some mounting ideas. Where is everyone mounting these beasts!? Pics would be helpful also. Looking forward to trying this piece out!

I had that same thought when I first saw this compressor.
I know the single can mount under hood.

A lil while back, EVO put a picture on Facebook showcasing the ARB JK with the new ARB rear storage drawers and the twin compressor was mounted on top of the storage box with what looked like a 2-gallon tank next to it.

How about, right above the rear diff. Seems sound and I have seen twin Viairs mounted there, and they are much bigger.

I had that same thought. I wonder how well that compressor holds up to the elements? Water resistant?

I currently run a single ARB under the seat & am confident that the unit will fit there.

Although I have the ARB twin & my project over the winter here will be to mount it right out the back. I have a heap of space since relocating my muffler & I am saving up for a Dominion tub enlargement. The ARB will go in the tub, and I will fit a narrow tank externally, maybe make up a skid, and direct a manifold going into the trunk.

I had an older ARB under the hood, and to be honest, it ain't the best environment for a compressor

I agree that under the hood may be too hot/dusty. Inside is the way to go. Maybe in the back.

Will it fit under the pass seat if u have seat heaters? There is a bracket under there for the seat heater and it looks to be a tight fit without the bracket in the way
