    UPDATE: Sorry folks...As of today 1/8/20 I have officially sold out of these brackets. I don't plan on making any more.

    For those that wish to mount an ARB twin compressor vertically under the hood of your truck and preserve the space at the rear of the engine compartment for a 2nd battery (as I have), or something else, this is the adapter bracket for you.

    Just to be clear (because some people have misunderstood), This is NOT the entire compressor or mount, it is just a custom bracket I made to replace the upper bracket in the Slee Offroad 2nd Gen. compressor mounting kit (http://www.sleeoffroad.com/products/products_air.htm #SOK0002) to adapt it to work on the 3rd Gen. Tacoma.

    PLEASE BE AWARE SLEE HAS CHANGED THEIR PART NUMBERING! - I THINK THESE ARE NOW THE CORRECT NUMBERS.

    DOUBLE-CHECK AND MAKE SURE YOU ARE ORDERING THE CORRECT MOUNT (2nd Gen Tacoma 2005-2015)


    You will need to have/get the Slee kit for this to work. Installation is per Slee instructions until you get to upper bracket and then just use mine instead of theirs.

    CAVEATS:
    1. Slee Offroad also makes a "3rd Gen." mount for Tacomas (#SOK0038) that mounts the compressor horizontally at the rear of the engine compartment (where the battery is in my photo). If that is the style you want, great, this bracket is not necessary for that mount.

    Otherwise, if you DO want the front vertical installation, make sure you get the correct part number (#SOK0002) for the 2nd Gen. (2005-2015) Tacoma. That's the mount this bracket is used with.

    2. If you wish to use the single ARB compressor, you can use the same 3rd Gen mount (#SOK0038) if you want it at the rear, or if you want it up front you can use Slee's (#SOK0001) mount. Again, this bracket is not necessary for those mounts

    I have had a small batch of brackets made up (laser cut, powder coated, Etc.) for any that are interested.

    As they are a bit of a niche item and the small batch size, Cost will be $28 (including shipping) to cover my expenses.

    You can Paypal me at http://paypal.me/MarkJ0711, leave your shipping information in the notes and I will get one sent out to you ASAP.

    PM me for more information.

    If you are referring to the ARB CKMA12 single compressor then yes, as I said in my first post, Slee makes a 2nd Gen mount for that compressor that mounts up front. That mount does not require this bracket.
    Also, I have not personally installed, used or seen this combination so you will have to confirm, but I believe it is a direct bolt in item.
    There is also a 3rd Gen mount that goes in the rear passenger corner under the hood that will accept this compressor. Pick your poison.

    EDIT: I see the CKSA is the locker only version of the single compressor... I believe mounts are the same.

    question,
    does this mounting position allow enough room for the ARB manifold to be mounted on the ARB twin?

    Yes, there is physically space in this location for the manifold, but there are no mounting provisions for it with this bracket. As I don't have/use the manifold (I'm plumbed to a small tank) I don't really know, but I believe the manifold comes with its own bracket that attaches to the compressor body, but I couldn't swear to it. Sorry, but you'll have to come up with your own research/mounting solution for this one.
