NEW BATCH! Custom Bracket - Vertical Install ARB Twin Compressor

Yup-
Wasn't hard at all...

 

hey... i'm interested in the vertical mount. just to make sure this is for the 3rd Gen by chance; I have a 2017 Tacoma.

 

Yes, this is for 3rd Gen Tacomas.

Just to be clear (because some people have misunderstood), This is NOT the entire compressor 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 #SOK001) to adapt it to work on the 3rd Gen. Tacoma. 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.

 

so i would need to buy the kit, ship it to you, you modify it, and ship it to me?

 

No, you just need the Slee kit and just use my upper bracket instead of theirs while you are installing it.

 

I am definitely interested. Do you have instruction on how to install it since it is mounted vertically? If so, then sign me up.

 

Just follow Slee instructions - on their website above.

 

I am looking at the instruction at Slee's site and they have it mounted in location for 2nd battery and horizontally (towards the back), but you have it installed in the front. Sorry, not trying to be sarcastic, I am just trying to understand how to install it before I buy your brackets. If you could explain why we need your bracket in addition to Slee's kit that might help. If we follow the instructions on Slee's site why not use their brackets?

 

Also, I believe that correct part number is "Part: SOK010" not "SOK001" correct? Because when I searched for that part number on their site, nothing came up

 

Slee also has a 3rd gen kit that uses the space at the rear passenger side of the engine bay. My solution uses their 2nd Gen kit (#SOK001) as noted above. Both kits are listed on the page I linked to... scroll down.

 

I see what you are saying...So we are using 2nd gen's hardware and modifying with your bracket and installing it in the front.

 

yes

 

I will take one. Sign me up please.

 

My paypal email is markj.pdx@gmail.com ($28 including shipping) Just leave your shipping address in the notes and I'll get one sent to you as soon as they come in.

 

Ok. Thanks!

 

Gentlemen------I have a 2017 off road and note that there is a power steering reservoir in the general location of where the ARB compressor would mount. Which compressor is being mounted here? The single or double? Also------If the power steering reservoir is indeed in the way where are you relocating it?

 

This bracket is for the twin compressor only (I think Slee also makes a mount for the single in this location). This mod simply adapts Slee's kit to work on the 3rd Gen Tacoma. Relocation of the PS reservoir is part of the Slee mounting kit... You can follow the links above and view Slee's installation instructions.

 

Look at the slee instructions on their website. It shows where the relo goes. It just shifts it over a few inches.

 

OK. I understand. I did look at their instructions and I believe I see what you mean about the PS reservoir being moved to the right. I also went outside and looked at my truck. I noticed that there is what appears to be some kind of ac line running past the engine side of the nice opening that the compressor fits into down at the bottom. And there is a fitting with an electrical connector attached to that line that sticks up at a 45 degree angle into what I figure is where the compressor will want to go. What did you do about that? Bend it out of the way? Do you have some more pictures of your installation? A picture is worth a 1000 words as they say.

 

Hard to get a picture down there with my phone, but here you go. The compressor mounts along side those hoses & connectors, but none of them get moved/bent out of the way for the compressor install. What you can't see in the picture is that the compressor is up a couple inches on its mount, so there is more room than it seems down there where the hoses are... It looks tighter than it is. Things are close, but there is a gap all around the compressor.
