    $600 includes the twin arb compressor. If you select the "no compressor" option on the drop down menu they have then the cubby replacement bracket is $115, fyi.

    I did that. I have the long bed and fit it in front of the wheel well between the bed and the body panel. Works great!

    Oh nice! Do you have a picture you could share? I'm going to have to crawl under there this weekend and take a look. I am especially curious how you dealt with mounting and running the power lines.

    I don't have any pictures, but I will be replacing my Viair compressor with an ARB twin soon in the same spot, so I can take some pictures then. I just drilled a few holes through the bed and mounted it directly to the outside of the bed. Super simple, it's been there for 2 or 3 years now. However, both of my batteries are mounted in the cab, so that changes things a little for wiring. Originally I had just run the wires along the frame following the stock harness up to the front though.

    I’m not sure if you’ve found your solution, but Adventure Ready does (or used to) make a mount for the compressor behind the grill. I bought one used from this forum a while back.

    Here are some pics taken by the previous owner:
