Finally got around to installing my ARB compressor. It fit nicely in my extra battery tray under the hood. Mounted the switch under the hood as well for simplicity. The hose is long enough to reach all five tires and also my air-bags. Cant wait to try it out in the sand next week

Very nice. My Viair is going to be mounted in the same location. I'm toying with the idea of plumbing an outlet near my airbag valves in the rear bumper.

I put in quick connects in the rocker panel area of the bed on each side. Makes re-inflating easier. I have dual 450 Viair Compressors and 10gal tank installed under the bed....

Glad you're good. Not glad about Utah, I'm heading there in two weeks. Hope it clears out by then.
