  1. American Adventure Lab Tailgate Compressor Mount - Early Review

    I haven't, but AAL's customer service was pretty helpful with a few questions I had regarding their intended connection points. I wouldn't hesitate to check with them to be sure.
  2. American Adventure Lab Tailgate Compressor Mount - Early Review

    Maybe find a broken one for parts on eBay? That’s all I can think of. Perhaps a Google search for a replacement bracket… someone might make an aftermarket solution.
  3. American Adventure Lab Tailgate Compressor Mount - Early Review

    I'm not sure if I know exactly what you're asking, but the LARGE gauge red power wire has to go directly to the battery (with a fuse in between). The AUX power wire or the outlet power is just the power supply for the compressor switch only, which is the red/yellow on the switch harness. The AUX...
  4. American Adventure Lab Tailgate Compressor Mount - Early Review

    This only applies if you have the optional aux switches. If so, the white/orange wire behind the right-hand rear quarter panel runs up the vehicle behind the glove box. It's here that you would connect that to either the brown or brown/white wire that comes from the drivers side, that you would...
  5. How to DIY install an ARB Compressor in a Ford Bronco (+GIVEAWAY!)

    I got frustrated with the ARB mount because the install wasn't smooth and instructions weren't clear. No one from ARB got back to me when I contacted their customer support (their actual support, not just on here). I ended up installing the American Adventure Lab Tailgate Mount instead. Love it...
  6. Oil life remaining on app

    For what it's worth, I had a Honda Ridgeline before I got my Bronco. It had a "maintenance minder" that would tell me when to do all of my maintenance, and I followed that. The dealership would always try to get me to change oil, diff fluid, etc. at traditional intervals. I just followed what...
  7. American Adventure Lab Tailgate Compressor Mount - Early Review

    The accessory wire for the rear only runs to just behind the back seat on the passenger side, so the wire you see is attached to the factory accessory wire to extend it long enough to reach the wire on the loom. You'll still have to remove the driver's side quarter panel trim to run the power...
  8. American Adventure Lab Tailgate Compressor Mount - Early Review

    Here is a video I shot while I was doing the wiring. It's really just to show the layout of the harness. I cleaned up a lot of the wiring when I finished the install. I posted a video of the power wire run to the battery in an earlier post: Here is how the whole things looks and works when...
  9. American Adventure Lab Tailgate Compressor Mount - Early Review

    Damn, that was more work than I thought. Took me several hours including removing my tailgate table, cargo drawer, and all the interior trim pieces. But it’s done, and it works! The hard part is running all the wires behind the trim panels. The panels are easy enough to get off, but I have the...
  10. American Adventure Lab Tailgate Compressor Mount - Early Review

    Well, the gear I ordered from Amazon to finish the install didn’t arrive, now scheduled for delivery tomorrow. I won’t be able to work on it until Friday, so it’ll be a couple more days before I post a final install video. Note: You don’t really need more than what comes with the kit from AAL...
  11. American Adventure Lab Tailgate Compressor Mount - Early Review

    This looks right to me. I have a dealer-installed hitch, and that grommet looks the same as where the wiring is run through for that. https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/attachments/ford_oem_4-pin_fact_inst-pdf.350150/
  12. American Adventure Lab Tailgate Compressor Mount - Early Review

    I would think so, as long as the wire you run to the rear is large enough (large enough gauge). But, I’m no wiring expert. I can tell you that AAL’s customer service has been excellent, and I feel confident they could help you sort out the wiring for your whole setup.
  13. American Adventure Lab Tailgate Compressor Mount - Early Review

    I’m almost done with the wiring, just waiting on an Amazon delivery with a few things to clean up the install - some Tesa tape to re-tape the looms, some butt splices, etc. The AAL loom makes things pretty easy, but since I have some extra options (Lux package, soft top, dealer tow package)...
  14. American Adventure Lab Tailgate Compressor Mount - Early Review

    I’m still in the middle of wiring. I’ve only had a few minutes each day to work on it, but I should be done in the next day or two. I have a soft top with lux, so a couple things are different from the original instructions.
  15. American Adventure Lab Tailgate Compressor Mount - Early Review

    Per the AAL instruction sheet, "Take the long red 8 ga wire marked “FUSE” and begin the long run from the rear, along the lower rear cargo area and along the drivers side behind the previously removed panels and ultimately through the firewall." I'm going to try to get this installed by the end...
  16. Height of Hood with Struts installed

    I have the Ford Performance hood struts. From the hook on the latch to the loop under the hood is 37.5 inches.
  17. American Adventure Lab Tailgate Compressor Mount - Early Review

    Yes, I will be. And I have the ARB engine bay mount I’ll be selling too. Message me if interested.
  18. American Adventure Lab Tailgate Compressor Mount - Early Review

    Just got the wiring loom. Here are the differences between the ARB supplied loom and the AAL version.
