    I love how easy it was to install the compressor and with @MJ_PDX bracket it looks really clean. These photos were taken before I put the windshield washer fluid tank back in. Don’t forget to reconnect the wiring to the tank like I did.
    :annoyed:

    Anyone running this location run into any issues with your compressor? I've been running this for ~ 10 months no issue....seems like my compressor has died now? Just curious if this is location has anything to do with it? I realize the filters are facing the front and likely get exposed to some splash with water crossings or heavy rain as well as general heat form engine ba.....

    Call ARB, their customer service is supposed to be top notch.

    I've owned 2 ARB compressors now, I have ran into this on both of mine. If it's same issue as mine you need to check your small ground wire and your relay. I disconnected all my wires and reconnected making sure I had a good ground and it suddenly worked but to be safe I replaced the relay on my single compressor. On my dual compressor just relocating the ground worked for me.

    This is an innovative design and an excellent use of space. Unfortunately I'm late to the TACO party and it seems these brackets are no longer available.

    Curious it anyone that had one no longer has the need for it, due to buying a different vehicle or otherwise. If so I'd be interested in acquiring one for what you consider a fair price.

    If not I'll probably try my hand at fabricating something similar.

    I have a local Fab shop that could probably get these cut and bent, if OP is okay with me copying his design.

    @SearArtist, if you had a shop that could fabricate the bracket and @MJ_PDX was okay with that I would definitely be interested in paying for one.

    I work in a machine shop where I made these brackets... It is a VERY niche item and difficult to make/sell in quantities that make the effort worthwhile. But, if you want to give it a go, message me privately and I'll get you sorted on the design.

    sorry folks, I just don't have the time or the money to lay out for the initial cost on these. It wouldn't be terribly hard to make your own if you have basic metal fab skills.

    Did you end up posting this for sale after all? I'm very interested, but I'm not sure where you are located (to facilitate the PS bracket swap for my OEM one).

    I'm still desperately looking for a solution to mount my compressor in this location. Has anyone ever seen another version of this bracket produced, or do they go up for sale often (used)? I've been searching and keeping my eyes peeled since I purchased my truck in September, but haven't found anything. I can't use the space near the firewall on the passenger side, because it's occupied by my second battery. And the space on the driver's side (near the brake reservoir) is occupied by my Bussman RTMR fuse box and circuit breakers. My rig is a 2020, so I can't use the bed side pocket mount (because I don't have a drive side bed pocket). I found the MOLE off road bracket that would mount the compressor behind the grill, but it appears to also be out of production.

    Running out of ideas here to mount my ARB dual compressor :(

    you could make your own bracket to work with the 2nd gen slee mount. Wouldn’t be very hard with some flat stock and basic metal fab skills.

    Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of metal fab skills. The extent of my fab work would have to take place with a hammer, large pliers, tin snips, or a jigsaw with a metal cutting blade. If I could see better images of how this bracket is designed, then I could determine if it was something I could tackle on my own (or maybe source someone to fabricate for me). But historically, I SUCK at working with metal. If the OP stopped making them because it was too difficult (and he worked in a machine shop), then it's very likely outside of my scope.
