ARB twin compressor in cab install?

I like the location of the compressor and the fuel door air chuck. Never considered that before. I was planning on using sliders as an air tank when I get some. Glad to see someone else is doing it too!

 

Interesting, I will have to investigate that; it does seem like my tires air up slower than when I was connecting the air hose directly to the compressor

 

I said I’d keep this thread posted with updates, and haven’t. I at one point decided that I was going to mount the compressor in the bed on the passenger side. I was getting ready to drill the holes and decided to sleep on it. Ended up hurting myself that weekend and haven’t been able to walk now for a few weeks. I finally got around to throwing some ring terminals on the wiring harness since I’m stuck at home with my injury and playing with airing my tires down and back up multiple times. I bought an extension harness from UpDown Air off of Amazon. I put the compressor inside the passenger side back seat storage compartment and sat inside the pickup. It was louder than I thought it would be, but decided it was livable, especially since most of the time I’ll be outside of the vehicle when airing the tires up unless the weather really sucks. I’m pretty skeptical that it will overheat in that space. I aired my 33’s up and down 4 times consecutively with the compressor in a cardboard box with space heater blasting on it and it never shut off. I figure that cubby doesn’t get very hot on it’s own, there’s quite a bit of space in that cubby since it’s open space all the way across the pickup and the 2nd gen guys are putting them in a cubby in the bed all of the time, so it probably doesn’t need that much space. Realistically, my compressor will likely only air up a set of 35” tires, max. I don’t see it getting hot enough to shut off. Another thing I thought was interesting was that with the extension harness, I didn’t notice a difference in time it took to air up a tire. I checked the voltage at the battery and at the end of the extended harness and there was zero voltage loss. I’m guessing that the performance of the compressor won’t be compromised with the longer harness until it gets to the top end of its load, which will basically be when it’s getting back up to pressure.
