    I’m looking for companies that make 1st gen Tacoma brackets for the single motor compressor.

    if not, anyone have any ideas? I found some threads on 2nd gens but not for 1st gens

    @turbodb has a great writeup on his setup - https://adventuretaco.com/washboard-relief-arb-ckma12-on-board-air-compressor/

    A lot of others have mounted theirs in the same general area, having only relocated one or two things a few inches over.

    here is where/how I mounted my twin compressor. Since the single is smaller is should be an easy fit if you don't have cruise control.

    I was meant to be temporary but I haven't found a better spot for it yet. The unistrut is welded to a 3/16 bracket with a piece of ? Gauge sheet metal that the compressor is bolted to. There is a rubber bushing under the bracket to reduce vibration against the inner fender.

    I did the same place as @Wulf but just bolted it right to the fender. two of the holes were already there and I had to drill two more.

    Had to get rid of my cruise control though. I was alright with it considering the controls on my swapped steering wheel don't work with it anyways.

    It's a tight fit, but really the only place in the engine bay for that big unit

    What’s that cylinder you have attached to it?

    It's a manifold with multiple fittings so you can put your ARB solenoids on it since the compressor only has one outlet. Mine has my front ARB solenoid and an air hose quick disconnect in it

    That’s the spot I decided on. (Passenger side) just ordered some M6x1.0 bolts. It looks like it will all fit nice. Just doing a mock fit for everything. I did find a bracket for my Bussman fuse box, it looks like my ML-acr will fit nicely by my battery.
