    Did you move your power steering fluid to do this? I am thinking about going with your set up so thanks for the pictures!

    The slee mount replaces the factory power steering fluid mount. The slee mount bolts directly into the factory holes and has a brace to relocate the power steering reservoir.

    If you have any more questions just ask!!!!!

    question, it is necessary to remove the ABS accumulator to set that type of bracket base?

    not at all, the Slee bracket clears the ABS system just right.

    Curious where you got that little plug to keep dirt and debris out of the air hole? I'd really like to get one for mine!

    I have a Viair 300p that I was considering bolting to my front bed cab MOLLE panel. My thought was to run power from the battery to the bed via a long quick disconnect battery tender style connector and cut/solder the corresponding connector to the Viair power cable. With power in the bed, I can just quickly mate my connectors, flip the rocker switch on the compressor and I’m pumping air.

    Alternatively, I could just mount the compressor under the hood with the same connectors. As mentioned in earlier posts, a switch in the cab is unnecessary since I’d need to pop the hood to access the compressor for its air connection anyway, so I’d hit the switch on the compressor after I mate the power connectors and air hose.

    I’d be all for adding an ARB under the hood with an in-cab switch, but that just seems unnecessary since I can accomplish the same thing with what I already have- I’d just require one or two quick extra steps that might add 5 seconds to the process.

    $20 for a small sheet of steel at home depot and an hour of your time..you can make a mount that works fine.
