Mounting ARB Air Compressor

[BullMoose1776]

I bought the underseat mount. Haven't installed yet, but did assemble it. That took a while.

Let me get off work I’ll snag a few photos for you, for the price they’re decent. I wanna replace them with paramount again later because of some small fitmejt issues eventually.

you on IG?

So I got the ARB dual compressor, still undecided on the mount. was going to try it out just to see if it works and realized its not a full kit. from what i can gather, here are the things i need just to get it operational:

* Air hose coupling - https://www.northridge4x4.com/part/compressor-mounts-accessories/0740111-arb-air-hose-coupling

can this be mounted directly on the compressor? or do i need some other gizmo in between?

You guys that are running the Grimm mount, is it attached to something at both ends or does it just cantilever off the firewall?

I was down to the DV8 mount and the Grimm mount and I am leaning really hard towards the Grimm because it has a heat shield the switch/outlet location is very nice.

Thanks for your thoughts!

The grimm mounts to the firewall and to the master brake cylinder. I am very happy with it. Take a look at the Trail Recon video for a step by step install tutorial.

Thanks for this. I could not tell if both ends were connected, but now that you have confirmed it, I am going with the Grimm mount. I will take a look at the Trail Recon video.

I installed the Grimm mount and ARB twin compressor about a year ago and very happy with the setup. Northridge 4x4 has a good install video too. Just order some extra fender clips first.

Yep, I have a 20 pack. I'm waiting on my XR fender extensions to come in and I'm changing both batteries, installing the ARB, and the extensions all at the same time. Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the link, I think i’m leaning towards the grimm fender bracket due to it having the heat shield. Small question, does it have any issues with fender liner clearance? Running paramount fender flares which look to be just like OEM.

Fits great with the factory liners, as mentioned by another, it does have problems with some of the high clearance liners.

Attached to the firewall and the lower master cylinder bolt. It's very sturdy, we've got a couple Jeeps with the set-up that have a couple years on them and they are still rock solid.

We've done a couple Grimm/ARB Twin install videos:

Anyone know if the Grimm mounting kit works with Artec Industries inner fender liners?

I did an AAL kit using the factory floor cover. Quite a bit of modifying to make that work, but in the end I'm happy with the results. Stealth and not that much noise in the vehicle.

Assembly of the bracket, wiring and mounting of the compressor to the ARB undersearlt bracket too as long, or longer than actually installing in the jeep.

Hardest part installing in the jeep was deciding which AUX wire to tie in the switch.

Did you use AUX 4? I've seen a lot of people using 4. I'll be installing mine next week/weekend.

The Grimm website notes capability with Evo and stock only. I went with the Evo fender liners and like the way they look. Bare metal though so I painted them black. Installation of the Grimm mount was quite easy.

Actually I tied in the switch and switch illumination to the Ignition aux wire under dash. I use aux 4 for rear lights in the bumper (and eventually roof rack lights).

I wired the compressor directly to the 2nd battery (Genesis Dual Battery system) , and I wired the winch the same way ( but used Aux 1 for the winch cutoff solenoid).

Since I've discussed 1 and 4, I'll go ahead and tell ya, 3 is backlighting for my Rigid 360s and 2 is actual light illumination for my 360s.

I'm out of Aux options, so I'm done adding stuff!
