    I sometimes rub on my fender but not much. Cut that, cmc, and beat back the pinch weld and I think I'll be good.

    The truck is looking great! This rig has made quite a transformation in a short period of time and it's been fun watching it all happen. Can't wait to see where it takes you! :thumbsup:

    Looking good! I'm still trying to figure out if I want to mount my ARB compressor under the hood or behind my seat. :-/

    Single or Dual? If single do it under the hood and run an air hose to each side so you don't have to open the hood every time.
    I like mine behind the seat so I know it doesn't get dirty or wet, but you also have to lean the seat forward each time to make sure enough air cools it. ARB compressors get insanely hot..

    It's a single. The air hose thing is a good idea.

    That's where I plan on mounting mine as well. I've seen quite a few different setups mount there.

    My dual wouldn't fit under the hood without moving something so that's why I put it behind my seat.
