Just a quick question: Can someone confirm or deny whether the diesels have the rear under floor storage compartment? Thanks...

Thanks. Thats exactly what I was wondering about. Didn't know about Adventure Labs. Wonder what kind of heat issues there would be running the compressors while covered?
I don't know about the heat build up but I imagine there is some. You may want to reach out AAL.

I was strongly advised against mounting the ARB twin compressor in the rear tub location due to overheating and restricted airflow concerns. I placed the twin compressor under the front passenger seat and have been pleased with the ease of access.

Thanks.... Thought about that too.
AAL makes a bracket for the storage well for the twin compressors, but then they use a relocation kit for both the intakes and the pressure side outlet, as well as the On/Off switch, that they claim significantly reduces the heat output.
Not even sure I'm going with powered air, but was just spitballing ideas in my head. I tend to lean to the Powertank. The air volume potential is significantly greater, you don't have to worry about heat/duty cycle, and the portability is a plus.

I'm running stock 33" BFG K02 tires on my Rubicon and I typically deflate to 20 psi when offroading. Once off the trail, it takes roughly 90 seconds to air each tire up to 38 psi when in the Phoenix area . . . it took as much as another minute per tire when I was in Colorado. I don't have to worry about running out with the Powertank, getting it refilled, plus the size of the Powertank is a bit larger than the ARB twin.

I know the Powertank is a reliable system that many people use, it just isn't for me.

I put mine in a Rigid Plastic tool box with a 1 gallon tank. I inflated 3 jeeps from about 25 to 38 and halfway thru the 4th jeep it overheated...wait a few minutes and it worked great.

I am attaching pictures...the toolbox was closed and there was no airflow. The compressor ran about 99% of the time filling up the jeeps.

I made mine portable so I can move it between vehicles. I also have a battery connector that allows me to connect to someone's battery if it isn't in my jeep or can't reach.

The damn thing gets hot as hell, I didn't want it under my seat and didn't want to put it in the cargo space because it is NOT easy to access in the back.
