I do remember the post you are referring to, which of course I can’t find anymore. I’ll check my browser bookmarks once I get home to see if I saved it.
NICE!!
To be honest it's a fantastic mount. One of the employees at my dealership has it on his Bronco and it's a quality product for sure. If I was in the mount-making business (which I'm not), I highly doubt I would be able to get the cost under $250—especially since I don't have any means to powder-coat myself. So I definitely would recommend it for someone who needs a mount.
What dealership? Wonder if it's a local one we've sold toTo be honest it's a fantastic mount. One of the employees at my dealership has it on his Bronco and it's a quality product for sure.

I just have to justify the existence of all of the metalworking tools in my garage somehow. And mine isn't going to have a nice powder coat finish—it's getting the spray can treatment.
Tasca Ford in central Connecticut. It was his personal Bronco and not a dealer mannequin, so I would assume he bought it on his own on the side rather than through the dealer. But not sure.
Yes there are quite a few dealers around the country whom buy our products for customer trucks OR for their own builds (that they sell). We've also got retail dealers whom sell our products (Panda Motorworks, Lethal Performance and Stage3, all forum vendors, sell our products)
That's not stainless steel nor the same gauge... it's thinner steel which is why the price is as such. If that was made from 10 gauge stainless that would cost a fortune, trust meYeah I get that metal is expensive, etc but I also just bought this massive heavy griddle for similar price and that mount for the viair is $30. Not trying to knock the kr. It looks great and if I could justify the price I’d get it. Other people obviously value it at what it’s selling for and I don’t expect 4x4 to change their pricing for me
I am suing you. Just giving you a heads-up
Made pretty decent headway on my ARB install in the rear floor cargo bin. Using @allhorse write up of how his install went with a ARB twin, I made a few tweaks to use an ARB single and where I wanted to mount the air chuck (https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/thre...age-tray-under-rear-floor.35833/#post-1218750)
The single one fits perfectly with no modification other then adjusting the compressor orientation a bit.
I used the supplied mounting plate that came with the compressor and sandwiched it on the bottom side of the bin.
Then ran the remote intake hose up under the floor and through a small hole in the underbody sheet metal. I didn't snag photos of that but @allhorse write up did. I wanted to keep the air chuck inside the cargo area and had finally just received my @BuiltRight Industries cargo molle panel. The ARB remote air chuck mount fits perfectly with the cutouts on it. I ran the air line under the removable floor for this location. I then carved out a bit of a channel in the underside of the removable floor panel for it to fit back flush with the metal floor.
Now all that is left is running the wiring and finish up the air line plumbing. I'm waiting on a few air line fittings and elbows since the area is so cramped and the supplied fitting orientation won't fit.
Finally was able to wrap up my compressor install. The elbow airline fitting finally arrived today that was needed with the cramped compartment. You'll see in the later photos.
Ran the wiring up under and through the hole I made to run the fresh air tube from earlier. Wrapped the wiring in electrical and cloth tape for protection from abrasion.
Then ran the ground wires up and tied into an existing ground near were the roll bar runs down to the side panels. Then ran the power wires along the wheel well. Tied the trigger wire with the prerun aux wire and carried the main power wire along the door sills. Pretty easy to run with removal of the covers. Then across the bottom of the dash and out through the grommet for the missing clutch pedal.
Now its all plumbed up and works flawlessly. Did a test fill on the tires and it works great. Pretty quiet actually as well with it buried in the compartment under the floor and my steel cargo drawer.
Now to get out there to put it to use!
Oh... wow. Honestly... I think I like that idea better instead of building something similar to the KR mount. I was trying to figure out a good use for that area, and an air compressor is a really good idea.
Oh yeah totally not saying it’s the same quality, but it would be sufficient for a mount. Again not saying your product isn’t quality, just saying it’s out of my budgetThat's not stainless steel nor the same gauge... it's thinner steel which is why the price is as such. If that was made from 10 gauge stainless that would cost a fortune, trust me
