Onboard Air -- show your setups

[GATORB8]

I probably installed my mount backwards as my filters are oriented to the front. It would be difficult to kick them from the front but easier to change filters if ever needed.

I think it's just different mounts orient it differently.

I just swapped from the ARB Portable Single to the RC Twin mounted under the passenger seat with @813 Fabrication & Design 's brackets.

Still need to rework my DIY Flexzilla four way to line up with the new setup.

Looks nice! I looked at the 813 underseat mount. I'm currently using the 813 Under hood mount but upside down and chopped up under the passenger seat since it's what I already had.

I should receive my Grimm Offroad Jeep JL/JLU, Jeep JT ARB Twin Compressor Mounting Bracket Kit and ARB twin compressor today
I am hooking up the line from the compressor to a manifold and running two hoses along each side of the frame just behind the center body mount with waterproof hose coupler that I built
This will allow me to fill two tires at the same time

Slick job on the coupler housing.

When installing the Grimm. Offroad bracket make sure you have the replacement fender clips all of mine broke taking off the fender and had to go to the dealer and pay way more money for them than if I ordered them from Amazon up front.

 

[Willys41]

I have loads of clips . All kinds

Duel ARB mounted under the passenger seat with a "homemade" mounting system. I have the Innovate Products bracket stored in my garage but haven't gotten up the motivation re-mount the compressor.

Air line is routed to the front bumper and I use the Speedflate system to air up. On/Off switch is wired to my AuxBeam pod and mounted to my overheard molle panel.

Nice looking setup! How did you route the power from the battery (in) and the air line (out)? My firewall clutch boot is already kind of full, plus it's a bit out of the way. I'd like to mount both a compressor control switch (probably with a relay near the battery) along with an air fitting on the front bumper.

Common routing is through the floor pan drain in front of the seat. It drops right on top of the frame rail, so you can run protected towards the front.

Thanks! That seems to provide a near ideal path from seat to battery to front bumper.

I ran it through the drain plug on the passenger side above the frame and then up into the engine bay. I used the plug towards the front although I'm told there is one directly under the seat. It was not the easiest since I have a lot running through there (compressor power cable, 2 locker air lines and the air line for the air coupler).

The air line to the coupler was a bit tricky as I needed to run it to the bumper but keep it away from anything that was going to get super hot.

I thought about doing a split on the switch and have one on the bumper but also the one inside as I needed it there for the air lockers. Maybe one day I'll run another switch but so far it's been fine without it.

Amazon parts build $450 400 psi max out

Just got done hooking up my on board ARB twin and Grimm under fender mount
Mounted air chucks on both sides center between rock sliders and frame (see pictures)
Replaced the 1/8 compressor header hose with 1/2 hose. Used all 3/8 hose / Jaco high flow fittings and all other fittings where 5/16 ID or larger. I also replaced the pressure switch on the compressor to a 100psi switch. This will reduce the load on the compressor motor/pump and hoses
I don't need 150psi to fill tires to 30psi
I carry two 7ft hoses that will air up ether the 2 fronts or 2 rears at same time
It will fill two tires from 9.5psi to 30psi in 2.5 minutes with monster valves in each wheel

What is your overall impression on their knockoff pump? I was looking at the one in the box with a tank, but there isnt many review out yet.

 

[zouch]

anyone figured out a good spot to mount their pump in the engine compartment on a Diesel? it’s crowded in there!

Its weird to jump onto JL forum and see your photo as a thread header for a thread you're not in. From my DYI post Install Thread. But it is a cool weird, not a complaint at all.
