Arb single compressor mounting options..

[Chrisdoza]

Has anyone been able to or found a mount to install a single arb compressor???

I have one that I pulled from my jkur but cant find a way to mount. Any help is appreciated...

Want to find a place for mine as well. Don’t feel like paying a big premium to replace my high output single for a double when mine is only a year old. Gonna have my local fab shop figure a mount out if someone doesn’t come out with one soon.

I've been looking at the cavity behind the driver's rear tail light wondering if I can get a compressor in there. Have you removed the light and seen if it'll fit?

Yes. My buddy did it and laid it flat by cutting a small piece of sheet metal. Works great.

I checked behind the tail light and it looks like a no-go. Here's a picture of a JK with the ARB single mounted behind the tail light:

But on my JL I see this:

There's some sheet metal that makes the usable space much less

You can mount it behind the driver fender. Unfortunately, I can't post the website here because it's "banned" for whatever reason. Just look on youtube for ARB single compressor JL. You'll find it. There's a writeup and parts list.

Yeah I have pony tales mount. Works well as my back up.

Take a look at this from another compressor thread:

It *can* work in the JL tail light but you have to do it on the drivers side:

I'm using the CKMP12 (portable) version, it has the smallest reservoir, not sure that matters but every fewer cubic inch helps. I trimmed the mounting plate it comes with, and created a metal plate to act as a clamp between the mounting plate and the space on the other side of the cutout where the tailgate striker hardware lives.

I have the kit to remote mount the intake filter and I plan on mounting right above the compressor location in the the interior somewhere in the vicinity of the power adapter, and I will probably also add an IP67 computer fan for some active cooling.

Removing the gas cap trim makes it possible to get to all the hardware needed to adjust the orientation.

Great location to pair with the gas cap plate from next ventures!

Here's a few more pictures of the final installation (except for some wire bundling in the tail light area):

Lance, that's nucking futs!
Great job using up zero space in your Wrangler!
