CBI 3rd Gen ARB Single Compressor Mount

Three out of five stars.

I couldn't find many reviews of this product so I thought I should leave some feedback for others.

Not real impressed with this mount for the ARB Single Compressor. Quality seems good, fits above the Tacoma 3Gen passenger wheel well nicely. It does come with nuts to secure it to the truck. Not that it matters, but there is no CBI logo laser cut into the mount like the photo on the website shows.

The problem is that the mounting holes do not line up with the mounting plate that ARB provides with the compressor. This means that it can only mount the compressor perpendicular to the truck and not in a parallel fashion. Although the compressor has long mounting holes to adjust its position, the CBI mount (with its poor hole placement) allows only a very limited amount of adjustment (very little if any).

It would have been very easy to make the mounting holes longer to allow for some adjustment. It almost seems as if no one actually looked at and used the compressor with this prior to designing it. Instead they punched four holes and called it a day. For a hundred bucks, unanswered emails from customer service, long hold times on the phone, and six weeks of waiting for it to arrive, I'd hope that this piece of metal would be a little better thought out. It works, it's fine, but I'm not impressed with CBI and probably won't be a return customer.
