Hi guys I'm new here. I just bought the twin arb and want to keep it away from engine heat and water.

Can the twin be mounted under the rear jk seat in the 2016 2 door model?


Also, would I need to extend the wiring that comes with the compressor for the lockers and battery source?

Thanks for all the help and suggestions.

I installed mine in the back of the rear drivers side back seat using a Mole Rack. I can’t answer your question about it fitting under the back seat, but at that spot you will need to extend the wires.

A Mole rack? Could you link me to a site so I can look at it?

Thanks for the speedy reply too. 👍

Here is the pic of the install. I’ll see if I can find the link I think I got it from eBay.

Wow nice setup.

I found online a company WD that makes a bracket for the 2 door arb that mount on the left rear side however the rear seat has to be removed.

I could live without the rear seat I guess.

Mine is mounted under the front seat with a terraflex mount. It works great. Its out of sight, and doesnt overheat and is easy to use

mounted mine under the hood on the drivers side in front of the back horn

I've got the itch to install an ARB twin in my 2013 JKU. So far, I like the last photo the best, but doesn't that go into the left rear wheelwell?! Also, I'd worry about the lack of adequate airflow for cooling during full-duty use.

I tend to get creative, so let's see what I can come up with. I'm going to want at least a 2-gallon air tank as well. I saw a photo of a guy who mounted one above the rear axle...

With a pair of Odessey 34 batteries under the hood on a Genesis tray, there's not much room for more. Plus I'm driving a RHD JKU, so things can get a bit tricky with installations. Will the mount for putting it under the passenger seat work on MY passenger seat (which is on the left)? I have a Tuffy lock-box under my driver's seat (right side).

I'll probably go with under the rear seat. Lots of good ideas! Thanks for the help guys.

Tom, what do you plan on using the compressor for? Even with a 2-gallon tank, I don't think you're going to be thrilled with using it for pneumatic tools if that is the thought. I have that compressor and have been very happy with it for about 5 years now; however, it is primarily just used for airing up tires.
