I’ve been looking at getting an air compressor so I can air down when going off roading. The problem is I’m not sure whether I should consider mounting it under the hood or just having it not mounted at all.
it seems like mounting it under the hood you run into the problem of dirt, water, heat, and airflow problems. I assume the heat could damage the electronics of the compressor considering the engine easily gets to 200 but probably higher when off-roading in the desert such as Death Valley. But by mounting it it becomes extremely convenient to use.
I was looking at the smittybilt 2781 vs the ARB single barrel compressor.
anyone have any input towards mounting under the hood or not? Any experiences? I’m leaning against it, but if there’s no problems with it then I’ll probably do it for the convenience
