Well, I finally installed my ARB. I ran 4 gauge wire from the battery through the pass frame rail and up through the little vent in the jack area. Sealed that up well.
I have a 60 amp maxi fuse at the battery. After I got everything wired up on Tuesday, the damn thing didn’t work. To make a long story short I got a new one from ARB.
Finished the install today. Got rid of that entire mess of wires. Just two right on the switch. It’s really cool how they wire all that up, but damn. Here is a pic.
It’s done.

Looks great! Is the switch sitting in the roof screw area operational? Do you have the auxiliary switches on the dash?

Yes that’s the switch and that’s where I wired it to.
I do have the Aux switches but I didn’t want to use them for this. That ARB switch only has 2 wires to it, so it’s simple. Didn’t want to have to walk up front to turn it on and off. Lol. Lazy. Yes.

No, I think that's a great idea. From what I've read, that little ARB puts out some serious air.

Thank you. Yes it really does. I had it in my 2 door. I could air up my 35’s in like 45 seconds.

Looks like you went with the twin, If you don't mind me asking where you purchased it and how much. I will need to ad this to my build since I am running beadlocks.

Thank you, going to get that ordered.
I didn’t order the braided line that ARB wants a arm and a leg for. I had Napa make me one out of hydraulic hose. I had that under the hood of my JK. So I just reused it. Basically about 20 bucks for the length you want.

It was amazing in my JK. I’m sure it will be the same. It’s fast.

Did you look for spot in the engine compt, or didn't you want to--

I've had my OBA compressors in the engine compt in many of my previous vehicles--

I just don't trust the cargo area because of ventilation !

Hope it works for you-

No room under the hood. As of now, no one has made a mount. It has an air gap all around it. It also doesn't get anywhere near as hot back there as it did under the hood of my JK. I will also leave the cover open during any air ups. It works great. I ran a couple tires down to 10 psi and back up to 35 and it was warm but not HOT. I'm hoping this works good too.
