There was a video of installing that grim mount. While it’s nice where the outlet ends up and that it’s close to the battery as you said if you’re going to install some aftermarket fender liners it doesn’t make sense. My issue with the grim mount and any engine mount is the fact that the engine compartment to begin with has all of that heat other than dirt and water. I chose and I’m still waiting on the ARB under seat mount. They’ve been on backorder but was told there is another company that makes them also. I do have the MORE bracket that came with the compressor, and it’s still an option but I just wanted the compressor in the front. I have the manifold and will install it but won’t run the lines yet for the lockers since I want to wait till I upgrade the axles.Bought and installed the Grimm ARB Dual Compressor Bracket. A little pricey, but great quality and well engineered. Loved it for about one week. That's when I went to install my Metalcloak inner fender liner and found that the two are not compatible. Discovered that it's only guaranteed to fit behind the OEM fender liners. Opps. In all fairness, Grimm did mention this problem down (way down) in the fine print:
"This bracket kit will fit with stock inner fenders in place. It has not been tested with aftermarket inner fenders."
Had sold my compressor in a box, so needed a quick fix. Bought the M.O.R.E. bracket, that I've been avoiding forever. Also found a main power extension harness that made the installation much easier: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MJHX6SL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Removed a connector from the extension harness to fish the harness under the carpeting and out through the floor plug over the fuel tank. Then removed a connector from the ARB power harness to fish it down along the firewall to the frame. Once the two harnesses were in place I reinstalled the two connectors and joined them together. Could have soldered the ends together, but the connectors are waterproof, so left them in place.
Not elegant, but a reasonable solution.
