Just got the arb twin compressor.

That’s all I have so far. What do I need to mount it in my third gen? What size tank? What hoses and fittings? I want to get a train horn and be able to air up tires. Maybe tools as well. Would a 1 gallon be enough? Thank you.

 

If you want under the hood go with Slee. They have a mount that fits an ARB tank as well.

 

So you purchased a ~$600 compressor and didn’t do any research on how to mount, plumb, or what tank would be best??

 

This.
I still dont understand why people ask these questions and do zero research themselves. I bought the same compressor, and researched the crap out of what id need. Lots of information out there OP.

 

Laziness.

 

because TW told them they needed it to be a “overlander”

 

yes. I live in the Middle East where good stuff is hard to come by, so if I see it, I get it. Our only two options here are the arb single and double. Everything else is cheap Chinese crap. And if you come across either, you get it, because they are very hard to find. I didn’t have time to research, I just bought it when I saw it. I’ll be honest, I don’t know Shit, so it would be nice to ask people who already do know and have experience. Isn’t that what this forum is for?

 

I thought my answer was pretty fair.

 

it was, thank you!

 

Shit. SLEE doesn’t deliver internationally. I’m going to try another brand.

 

Shoot!

 

To add to the other mounts

Call or email them

 

And another mount: R4T Behind grill mount for dual ARB.

 

I really like this, but you'll need the tank, and a hose from the ARB to the tank. See @tacomari install here''

 

I tried but they were closed. But their website says they don’t do international orders.

 

Awesome. I still have the hose from my old viair. Going to see if it fits. Also, I’m trying to decide if 1 gallon is enough to run a train horn and fill 33 inch tires. But if I get something bigger it costs a lot to ship. I pay per pound. 1 gallon tanks are 7 pounds while 2 gallon is 12. Seeing if 2 is worth it.

 

Still looking for a mount. But I’m going to get this stuff I think. Still deciding between 1 or 2 gallon tank. This should be good to set everything up, right?

also, I called arb Australia and they said maybe it’s not best to put the compressor in the engine bay because dirt can get into the fan.

I have a friend in Texas that’s coming here that should be able to bring this stuff with them.

 

Not to hijack a thread but does that put out enough pressure to blow water off a car if you're detailing it?
