IMO best place for the compressor is behind the tail light..first one I did was on a '07 JKU back in 2012..
FYI no need to relocate the intake filter it will never get dirty behind the tail light.

If you donā€™t need the dual, the single arb mounts behind the driver front fender under the brake booster with a simple bracket, in a place that seems like it was meant for it. I extended the connector so I plug my air hose behind my bumper. I also got a rubber cover made by arb for the quick connect after these photos were taken since these shots are over a year old. Iā€™ll post a current photo in a bit.
iā€™ve had it for about 15 months and use it regularly and Iā€™ve had no issues yet.

I mounted mine under the hood. It is under the brake booster and then plumbed the air outlet to the front bumper. I ran the air inlet up to the top of the engine compartment.

It was a no go for me to mount it inside the jeep. My wife sits in there while I air up and did not want her to have to listen to it run.
Never know, she might of enjoyed it being under her seat šŸ˜‰

Hi yā€™all,
How does the single ARB work? Does it handle 37s ok? I have a Smittybilt that work pretty good, but was considering the ARB single to put in my DV8 spare tire mount. The cavity in the spare mount is pretty big but not big enough for my smittybilt. I think the ARB will fit. That area is protected pretty good too. What do yā€™all think? Will it work?

Even a double arb compressor sucks filling tires. CO2..I can fill my 4 40's in the time it takes to fill 1-2 37's

I run 37s and I donā€™t have any problems with a single. I even help others out when Iā€™m done. For us, itā€™s no race before hitting the road. Gives you time to get a drink or snack and say your goodbyes to your buddies.

I decided to take my chances with the length of time a compressor v a Powertank takes. Mostly based on the size of a Powertank, and the refilling that I would definitely forget to do.

I have no desire to worry over refilling a power tank and mounting it somewhere. I'd rather plumb in a permanent tank inline with the double compressor if speed was a necessity.

I originally was going to do the underseat mount but then just bought a cargo rack and mounted it underneath. Keeping the heat away and most of the dust.
