Compressor mounts specifically known to work with the ARB Brushless Twin?

[azmtbfix]

Soooooooo, I am new in the Ford/Bronco world (came from FJ Cruisers and back then ran CO2) but I've been looking at a lotta discussions on mounting compressors in the Bronco.

Working with a '23 Wildtrak/4dr/2.7.

There's no shortage of mounts that make it clear they work with the classic brushed ARB Twin compressor, but not a lot that seem to work with the tweaked mount of the new Brushless Twin.

I think I've seen that 4x4truckled's claims native support for the brushless, but nobody else that I can find seems to make mention of it.

The only other data point I've found so far is from OK4wd who sent over a PDF/schematic that shows that one can just drill a couple fresh holes in the Grimm Offroad mount to get it to match up with the Brushless.

So has anyone else had experience with any of the mounts with the brushless model? Hoping to find a good solution that has everything needed except the eom compressor kit itself and get this ball rolling asap. (The portable brushed model works great, but that case it came in ended up being waaaay bigger than i expected, haha.)

I watched this Bronco6G video from 2022 and installed the KR Off-Road kit purchased from 4x4truckleds. It was super easy to install.

As far as I know nobody, but KR has the mount that works with brushless twin ARB. Not even the FORD ARB mount work with the brushless twin. I keep hearing that Grimm will come out with one when they get around to it, as they quickly came out with one for the Jeep market. In their question section it's says they are working on a kit for that, it was dated 5/2025. SDHQ also makes a vertical mount like GRIMM but more $$, they have said on their website that they are coming out with an adapter that will allow the brushless ARB to fit all their existing brackets. I heard it was 30 to 60 days out, not sure if that's good or bad. The mount and adapter would probably cost north of $300.00; will it be worth that? Just have to wait, Jeep and Toyotas come first, Broncos are last. So, unless you do some mods the only official mount that I know of is the KR mount. Don't know about Barnes 4wd or JCR mounts. I like the KR mount, but I also like to have a vertical mount...I'm just waiting on side lines. BTW can you share that PDF from OK4WD, I'd like to take a look at that, tks

I have the barnes4x4 mount with arb twin brushless. Just had to drill two holes in the compressor base plate to make it fit, it was very easy and works perfectly. the mount costs like 60$

Already used it many times with apex quad air inflation even in 40C ambient temps with hood closed and it's flawless, glad I went with underhood mount it's very simply to install

The KR mount works well with the brushless. No drilling. There's a great post on installing the brushless that will be a huge help with the wiring.

Yes ours works and has always worked with the brushless. As far as I know ours were the only brackets that DID work when the brushless came out. Not sure if anybody else caught up yet but ours still work

If you want an engine mounted solution you can't really beat our kit and the quality. Made here in the USA using stainless steel (not just regular steel) and powder coated black. Installation is the easiest of any compressor bracket on the market for the Broncos. Works with ALL ARB compressors as well. And it's on sale right now. Wiring is very easy if you have upfitters. You just need to crimp your upfitter wire of choice to one single wire on the ARB Twin (Brushless or the original one). that's it. No crazy relays or any additionanal wiring needed (outside of connecting the power leads to your battery)

Got a bit sidetracked for a while there, but here's what they sent on the modification...
