Know you kidding and poking fun, believe we can safely state that our Tricky Dick is being truly honest when he states that "I am not a crook" unlike the other Tricky Dick from 50 years ago or the other known Bronco tax rip-off's artists

The LoD brackets are 3/16, had to use a ruler, mislaid the digital caliper and couldn't find it. Bought the kit over a year ago, still trying to find time to build a winch mount, got other more pressing projects to finish first. Contents of the LoD kit

Novel mounting solution, suspect they will have heat issues due to the way it's mounted and the design of the actual tire carrier limiting cooling air flow. Hopefully they will preform actual real world testing of at least 15 minutes run time airing up tires with at least 100 to 110 degrees F...

There's many variables that affect the amperage rating of an electrical cable, is it in conduit, is it in free air, the ambient temperature that it is used at, , the material it's made of aluminum or copper, the temperature rating of the conductor and type of insulation used. The other item that...

A word of caution with mounting the ARB twin or any other hi-performance air compressors inside the vehicle, during operation the air compressor cylinders and heads can exceed + 250 to over +330 degrees F during operation, you need to prevent accidental contact by humans and animals to avoid...

Additional testing, engine running with hood open, see edit original post

Planning on two more sets of test, 1.) with the engine running and hood open, 2,) with every thing cold, engine off. Had planned on completing both of these yesterday, but got sidetracked fixing some 65 year old plumbing inside the house.

Didn't consider doing the test with the engine off and cold, normally one would be airing the tires back up after running trails before getting back on the pavement. The dual compressor draws about 30 to 50 amps when running, I do plan to rerun the tests tomorrow, same as today except with the...

Additional Testing Update 8/6/2022, finally had time time today to run the test with the hood open, engine hot and running. This is the most likely operating condition that most of us will operate the air compressor to reinflate the tires after running trails. See attached file ARB Temp testing...

Wouldn't relocate the air intake for the compressor into the engine air box, with the engine running the compressor won't be as efficient due to the slight vacuum created in the air box. Do see the need / logic for the cooler air into the compressor as the the cooler air will be more dense...

Used 1/2' air brake line to run between the compressor, air tank and the rear quick disconnect mounted on the factory trailer hitch. Started at the compressor, looped the line under the air box intake, then over the mount rail for the compressor then under the wiper reservoir and overflow...

Completed the installation, see post # 2, update # 4 for additional details

Electrical completed today, see post 2, update # 3

It will be interesting to see what you build for a slide out tailgate. I'm planning to do a slide out drawer with a slide out shelf over the drawer with a fridge mount, hoping to build something that will still allow access to the under floor storage. But that project is for next year.

Yeah, looked at those areas, in front of the gas tank was the most protected area, if I decided to proceed with the second tank it will have to go up into the area where you mounted your compressor. Believe I can build a mount to hang a tank in that area since the tank doesn't have weight the...

Found a home for the 1 gallon air tank, was hoping for a vertical mount for draining water from the tank, there's a nice protected spot in front of the gas tank for a horizonal installation. See post two in this thread. Haven't found a good space for a second tank. There's room where...

First off nice install, however according to the ARB installation manual the compressor is not rated to be submerged or exposed to road spray. Items 5 and 6 from page 3 of the installation manual. However with your mounting location and the height of your installation above ground level your...

Saw his post over the weekend, not a bad location for the tank, however plan to mount vertically as I plan to install a drain valve on the bottom port of the tank to drain water. Plus don't want to drill any holes thru the floor / bed of the vehicle
