Just got the arb twin compressor.

Yup!
I can completely remove my compressor from under the hood in about 10 mins. However my filters are right on top.

Have you seen where the twin mounts under the hood of a Jeep? Way down in lower fender area exposed to way more crap than mine will ever see.

 

Sometimes people just want the latest and greatest and throw good money after bad. Slee mount, passenger side, away from terminals and battery. That’s the only way to go IMO.

 

Or same place DIY.

 

Passenger seat is 4 bolts, you can easily pull it out in under a minute. Then work on it from the drivers seat or just outside of the door(they don’t just break every time you use them, it’s rare). The Slee mount you are cramming yourself on the fender and dodging the hood with your forehead all while your truck has mud on it(possibly). Neither of these suggested places are a bad idea and not enough people run 35s for the compressor to heat up to dangerous levels without air flow. If you plan on running lockers from it, I would recommend mounting it under the hood. But if not, you won’t use it enough or for long enough to matter if your door or hood is open. Lastly, someone please correct me if I am wrong but you probably won’t need a tank unless you have some big bertha rubbers or you plan on running air tools. Couldn’t hurt to have it though since you might have already purchased it, now go buy some air tools!

 

Is this everything I need to connect my compressor to the tank? Do I need a leader hose? If so which one? How do I connect that long air hose from my compressor to my tank? Thanks a lot.

 

That should definitely get you started.

 

Air tanks are certainly just a luxury item behind an ARB twin. This compressor is more than capable on it's own filling tire after tire without a tank.

With that, I'm not even sure what air tools I would bother hauling around with me that would warrant an air tank. Air horns are an obvious contender though. I was/am only considering adding a tank for the project factor of something fun to do.

 

thanks!! So that black air hose can connect straight into the compressor? I don’t need one of those braided leaders?

 

I definitely want a train horn.

 

It might work without the stainless header, but the output gets pretty hot after running a while, possibly in the time it takes to fill your tank. The plastic in both the fitting and the tube might have issues.

Might want to add the braided stainless header line to help dissipate the bulk of the heat generated near the output of the compressor.

 

thanks for the info!
Would this be fine?

 

One way to find out, but I think it would.

 

Appreciate it.

 

That braided hose, what is the PSI rating?

 

Looks like 175psi. More than enough.

 

yup 175.

 

I would suggest this leader instead, as it has a check valve already.

 

thanks!!

 

A bit longer at 24" for better heat dissipation and also rated much higher at 250psi.

 

the check valve connects to the air hose leading to the tank?
